Budgie Smugglers

When we were kids, Mum and Nanna would take us to the beach while Dad and Pop went out fishing. We'd play in the grainy, shell-grit sand, or in the water, while Mum and Nanna sat on towels watching us. Nanna would lather up in baby oil, Mum (and us) in sunscreen, and they would be perched, under hats, within yelling distance.
They used to get very happy when a man they referred to as Speedo, would be at the beach. He was an older, tanned, athletic looking fellow with whom Mum and Nanna were quite enamoured. He always wore speedo swimmers. He wore them well. (Even I as a young girl could see that!) I think this is what they liked the most about him.
Men looking good in speedos is a rare sight. Most of the men I've seen parading their little budgie smugglers (including my husband with his cute arse) really shouldn't be out in public so scantily clad. So you can imagine my surprise when in sleep deprivation, I flicked on Sunrise this morning.
I figured I must be suffereing from sleep deprivation because I woke hourly last night to check on E - and then when I got up this morning to feed her, I flicked on Sunrise without giving it a second thought. I have to stop watching this program because generally it's mushy nothingness hurts my intelligence.
Today they had some men parading speedos on. This is in-line with their usual calibre of quality segments. I cringed when they announced it but then when I saw the line up of cutie blokes in speedos, I decided that it wasn't such a bad idea doing a segment on men's swim-wear, and worse yet - that maybe dick-stickers aren't such a bad summer accessory.
Having recognised the fact that this is crazy talk. I now need to do something to remedy the situation and I think I will read the new edition of mETAphor while E naps.
