Throngs in thongs, what went wrong?

Okay, I have the winner of the coveted title of “Worst Organizer in the Entire History of the Galaxy.”
It’s the person who tried to put together the largest bikini parade ever, in Sydney, in an attempt today to break a world record.
The photo above isn’t from this event, it’s from a different Sydney activity a couple of years ago, where more than 1,000 bikini-clad women got together for something or other.
It’s not rocket science. It’s summer down there, and you can’t go anywhere within a hundred MILES of Sydney without pushing your way through busty chicks in skimpy swimwear. You get sick of ‘em after a while.
And yet, for today’s big record-breaking attempt, they managed to get a grand total of only 228 people together in swimsuits. Here’s a photo of the pathetic effort, on the right.
The sheer ineptitude boggles the mind. How did they screw it up? Why couldn’t they get… Oh wait, I may have spotted the problem…

Pink Budgie Smugglers = So Now.
Ahhhhhh!!!! Sooooooooo much better than the last one… no offense Bob.. but these are more bearable blogs…
What’s more funny than some bearded guy in flourescent pink undies….!! Oh I know,!! There was a guy right next to him wearing the same kinda “swim”wear AND he had a float pack on his arm!!!!!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!
Sorry, I took some green medicine to suffice till Bob sends me meds back…
Bill, are YOU sure those are WOMEN??
Robert, thank you!!!!!!
After reading through some of the reactions to the last post, I was really needing something to push down my dosage to the regular (obviously not normal) levels, and this post did it!
Now birds are chirping again and the sun is shining, even on the late-autumn, rainy day we are having over here!!
I always hear birds chirping… only yesterday, there were crows… instead of the usual bluebirds and hummingbirds and topless-men birds… mind you the last ones didnt sing… just floated around, flexing their muscles and showing their fab abs!
Shra, I’ll have a fix of whatever you are having, thank you very much.
Only, please let it be I don’t see top-less men; the finnish beauty queen of a few posts back, or the German beer-mugs could do nicely, thank you.
Ahh… that could be a bit tricky… need to change key ingredients then.. may take some time though, M…
Yes Shra, you can tell by the shoes.
Nah uh, Bill… Dont even go there… those shoes confirm that they are MEN… !
