Yes, and that’s still not Roddy McDowell.

[Danny Glover-as-Mister]Could be… could be not… who’s to say?[/Danny]

There is a lot of gossip that Roddy was very well endowed (Liz Smith, Kitty Kelly and other gossip writers mention it), and it’s neither here nor there that he was a major enthusiast of both porn and photography. While I wouldn’t swear an oath it’s legit, it’s definitely not inconceivable.

I read somewhere (GQ?) that Mr. Maguire packs a lot of Tobey.

I wonder how many of these “well-endowed” celeb rumors come from an over eager publicist OR pant stuffing?

Christoph Schneider of Rammstein seems to have an anaconda in his shorts…  
I have a short video clip of a sort of funky TV show in Germany where some woman ‘won’ a chance to do something with a couple members of the band and apparently her choices were a shower with Till Lindemann and a grope session with Doom, and when they pan down he seems rather _excited_ to see her…

the clip is titled “Wahre\_Liebe” and I am not entirely certain where I picked it up,

Forgot to mention **Christopher Meloni** of Law And Order:SVU…like most of the Law and Order cast and featured actors, he was in the HBO series, OZ and there were a few scenes with him that showed he has nothing to be ashamed of. Actually, OZ pretty much had nude shots of most every male actor in NYC. (Or do you think we all watched it because of the riveting plot?)

Well, that and nude scenes in movies. They do exist, you know.

Oh, I did. Heh. And speaking of OZ, Dean Winters certainly deserves a mention.

Sure. Ewan has a “Big Fish.” He has provided a confirmable record. He is an exception to the rule. Most male actors refuse to do full frontal.

Most of these guys get their reputations from the tabloids or bulges. Both can be fabricated.

And Luke Perry (not because he’s well “blessed” [fair to middlin’] but because it takes guts for an actor known for light fare to show the package in a prison show).

I’m not judging, but Peter Sarsgaard’s schmeckie showing in _Kinsey_ surprised me.

Or even Roddy McDowall. Nice picture of him and Tab Hunter, though. Were they an item?

Used to be, a guy would usually call his unit his “Johnson”, but lately, when a guy’s rod is referred to, or when he’s talking about Ol’ One-Eye (you know, the kielbasa), I often hear the Old Fella Downstairs called a “Jimmy”.

_So three cheers for your willy or John Thomas  
Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake  
Your piece of pork, your wife’s best friend  
Your Percy or your cock  
You can wrap it up in ribbons  
You can slip it in your sock  
But don’t take it out in public  
Or they will put you in the dock  
And you won’t come back_

Somebody had to sing it eventually…

My favorite euphemisms:

“the Gerkin” (as in “jerkin \_\_\_\_”)

“Lefty” (maybe just me)

“Ding-Dong” (an oldie but making a comeback)

“the Meat Saber”

> Memphis lore holds that Elvis Aron Presley’s penis was in the \>10-inch range. Ed Sullivan is said to have remarked after The Big E’s first TV appearance that he must have some sort of “appliance” in his pants, because no man could be that big.

I met a guy who worked on the Ed Sullivan show back in the day. His version is as follows.

Elvis did his show. Ed was apparently a bit naive, and asked my source if what he had seen was a large Elvis package. My source responded “No, it was a sock stuffed down his pants.”

Later, Nureyev was on, and the same issue resulted.

“No, Mr. Sullivan, that is not a sock.”

**Guinastasia** , you wouldn’t by chance have visited the _Fametracker_ site, would you?

I’m told that **Tom Jones** wore those tight pants for a reason, and coincidentally he had a _lot[_ of female fans turn up to see him in concert.
