2,000th Blog Post

8 comments Posted by

Can you guys believe that this is my 2,000th blog post!!!

Even if each post was only half a page of text that would be one thick arse book.

My first post was on May 9th, 2005 (although I write it on April 5th).  The blog was started after a really hot threesome with some room mates (a guy/girl couple) at an end of season party and I felt like I just had to share that experience with someone.

That someone has turned into a few more someones over the last 8 years and 10 months.

Although statistics have fluctuated over the years, right now the readerships is over 5,000 unique visitors per day.

I’d have to sit down and figure out how many readers I’ve met in person but it would be around 10 I’d think (not bad considering I’m technically in the closet).

During this time I was sued by the Evil Speedo Corporation which made news in Australia and the UK, it also resulted in my biggest traffic days (over 20,000 unique visitors in one day during those shenanigans).

The positive feedback I’ve received from you guys has been what has kept this blog going and me motivated to keep writing.  There have been 6,608 comments and I can honestly say that I’ve read every single one..

Thank you guys and as long as you keep coming back, I’m sure I’ve got another 2,000 posts in me.

Dave (Evans) vs Goliath (evil Speedo Corporation)

I got the idea for this post from one of the dozen or so negative comments I get a week.

The usual religious wackos, anti-gay guys, jealous people and just nasty people who obviously enjoy reading my blog and taking time out of their lives to message me.  One of the comments last week on my post about returning to Aussie in February was a very happy person saying how much the Aussie media is looking forward to my return in light of something that happened over 2 years ago.

2 years ago the Evil Speedo Corporate sued me in the Australian High Court over using the word speedo.  I emailed the judge and told him that obviously I couldn’t afford to defend myself and that my use of the word speedo was in the generic context.  The judge was nice but told me it didn’t matter.  I might have hinted that his judgement wouldn’t really matter either as I thought it would be difficult to impose any restrictions or penalties.

I did go to the court, nobody recognised me although I was probably the only person in the court room wearing speedos (under my jeans).  The Evil Speedo Corporation had a full table of expensive lawyers and my poor table had nobody.  The judge ruled in their favour, I was never allowed to utter the word speedo ever again.

Doesn’t really seem like much has changed.

What I found quite ironic was that the mainstream press I received in Australia and the UK (where the Evil Speedo Corporation is based after some faceless conglomerate bought the iconic Australian brand) was fantastic for business.

Back to the nasty comment I received last week, I really don’t think the Australian media will be at the airport waiting for me – would be good for business though.

Hope you guys had a good weekend, I had a big one on Friday night and now that it is Sunday afternoon I’m starting to feel normal again.

Here are some guys wearing speedos for you guys (not Speedo speedos).

Today is the 8th birthday of this blog.

Wow time flies, I was reading through some of my first posts and I remember what I was doing like it was yesterday.  Saying that, a lot of water has gone under the bridge.

The Evil Speedo Corporation suing me for promoting speedo style swimwear was a big event for sure.  That is the only major mainstream press I’ve ever had and seeing my name in the paper was pretty kewl.  Speedo won the court case but had no way of implementing the ruling.  The funny thing is, the boost in visitors was off the charts.

Meeting readers of this blog has definitely been a highlight – be it for naughty speedo fun or just a cup of coffee.  There are also other bloggers who I consider friends that I wouldn’t have met without starting this blog.

Because of the support of readers joining my site SwimmerBoyz.com, I’ve been able to keep this free and relatively advertising free – I have never resorted to a pop-up banner and I hope I never have to.  I hope I can keep this free as well.

I love the feedback I get from you guys.  Occasionally I’ll post something a little more controversial and I love the different opinions that are shared.

Here are some stats:

  • 2,920 Days
  • 1,826 Posts
  • 5,836 Comments
  • 3,325 Photos

That is about all I have to say, 8 years down, hopefully a lot more to come.

Speedo on!!!

Old Speedo Photos

1 comment Posted by

I’m always busy and one of the projects I’m working on right now is a new speedo site – it is a revamp of an old site which I loved called SpeedoPics.com but which the Evil Speedo Corporation stole from me.

It is in the early stages so I don’t have much to share but I was going through some of the old SpeedoPics source images and I found some of these old speedo gems.

I don’t know which movie this is from but it is one of my old favourite photo sets – not sure about the orange speedos but these guys make them look hot.

I just found out that I was on TV – it was the Gruen Planet (it is a media watch kind of program – I do watch it but I missed that episode).  Would have been funny if a bunch of my str8 mates were in the house when it came on and it mentioned “Dave Evans, bisexual blogger” – I’m not sure I would have been able to contain myself and just start dancing saying “THAT’s ME, THAT’s ME, THAT’s ME!!!!”

I’m pretty sure my folks watch it but I don’t think they’ll put the two together.  The comment on the TV show was “Who else wears speedos but gay guys!!!” and a general consensus that the blog was doing good things for the ‘Speedo’ brand.

I did recieve an email from the Evil Speedo Corporations lawyers.  I can program in 4 different languages but this thing reads like double-dutch to me.  I have no idea what it means other than it is bad.  They want the AussieSpeedoGuy.org domain name.  So for the last few months I’ve been running this site on AussieSpeedoGuy.org – in the next 24hrs Kip will change it over so only the new one works.

This way hopefully anyone who has this in their favourites will be able to update it before they steal it from me.

One thing I did pick up in the legal jargon was that the judge didn’t read my email to him.  He said he received it but he chose not to read it.  A quote from the judge “Little reliance can, in any event, be placed upon email communications.”  The judge seemed to accept blog posts of mine from months and even years back as evidence but when I sent him a personal email (which is easy to trace) it was not admissable.  Strange.

Anyway, as I mentioned before I’m up for the Speedo Corporations legal fees.  Perhaps I’ll just have to quote the judge, and tell them that little reliance can be placed upon emails. They can deliver the bill in person.  When they deliver the bill in person, I’ll be able to give them my snowboard, my laptop, the shirt off my back and the speedos I’ll be wearing.

All good fun if it wasn’t so serious.

Here are some guys wearing ‘Speedo Brand’ speedos.

Crazy Days

After a busy weekend I got the paper this morning and realised that everything is going to hell.

No QANTAS flights and 3 Aussie soldiers killed in Afghanistan.  It has been a big weekend.  I’ve been trying to find some figures on how many of our diggers have been killed in action in Afghanistan and I’ve found the figure of 29 but I doubt that includes this weekends casualties.

I was wondering – I know it is a big deal in the US about gays in the military but I was wondering if it is an issue for the Australian armed forces.  I don’t know anyone who serves in Australia but maybe you guys can shed some light on this.

I’m not fully up to date on the QANTAS thing yet but my folks are in London right now for a wedding and they fly QANTAS.  I think they were flying back this week some time.  This week I was going to book some flights for a northern hemisphere snowboarding trip but I think I might hold off and see what happens with this strike stuff – I’ve always flown QANTAS in the past but I might have to think twice about that.

Well – I’m off to the pool and then going to settle into a days work.  I think the Speedo court thing is on today but I’m not 100% sure, I did think it was supposed to be finished last week so maybe today is another proceeding.  I’ve got a friend of mine who went along last week and who is going along today.  My friend told me that the judge has been really nice considering I can’t attend.

Enjoy some eye candy guys – hot body and a hot speedo (even though it isn’t a Speedo brand speedo I think you know what I mean)
