Off the Wall
By Meri) il Robinson
With all the human tragedies and worldw ide mayhem featured
in new spapers and on television, staying informed isn’t very
morale building. However, once in awhile, there is an article
with a hum orous twist, especially in som e o f the agricultural
papers. Therefore passing on the essence o f som eone else’s
story will hopefully give others a chuckle or two.
There are all sorts o f fundraisers ranging from walk-a-
thons, to bake sales and car w ashes for good causes that are
usually supported by local residents. However, an innovative
idea in the small town o f Junction City, Oregon caused some
people to raise eyebrows, w hile others are going to chuckle all
the way through next year and beyond. Somehow, local male
residents were talked into dropping their draw ers for a 2004
nudie calendar featuring the men o f the Junction City Grange.
In this town where the m ajority o f people know one
another, the article says there will continue to be com m ents
like, "H ey Bud, I didn’t recognize you with your clothes on”
w hen two farm ers encounter one another on the street. But
compared to the graphic nudity seen on television, the article
says the photos were tastefully done. With my weird funny-
bone, 1 can conjure up photos using well-known residents as
models for a local calendar. Lets see, w hat well-known local
g o lf player w earing only a sunshade could be the centerfold
for June while hoisting a bag o f golf clubs? It wouldn’t be hard
to imagine a local farmer posing on a tractor or combine as the
appropriate harvest m odel. A ccording to the article, a local
a m a te u r m u s ic ia n p o se d h o ld in g a b a n jo o v e r his
unmentionables, while hoping to generate interest in his playing,
not his body.
The article says Mr. August was shown in all his glory,
naked except for a pair o f backless chaps and a lasso slung
over his shoulder. Gee, I can think o f several local cow boy
type candidates, particularly ones with handlebar mustaches
that w ould be photogenic. Talking som eone into being
photographed as Mr. September while artfully draped in grape
leaves might be easier than asking a guy to pose ala natural in
a Santa hat for December. O f course, to represent M orrow
County diversity, one “hot potato" model and a dairy milkman
with a brief apron should also be photographed.
Their wives, the article says, are thoroughly enjoying
them selves. However, one w om an says she regrets that the
m en insisted on covering up their behinds w ith caps and
cow boys hats w hen shooting a from -the-rear group portrait
for the back page o f the calendar. One woman said they were
hoping to have a contest in which people w ould judge who
had the best-looking “tush.”
But these male models from Junction City, including
some who are senior citizens, say they take pride in believing
that they are the first to drop their drawers to raise money for
education. All proceeds go the local school district since severe
cutbacks have eliminated teachers, art, music and field trips.
A ccording to one Junction City resident they hope to raise
$75,000 and perhaps even a m ovie deal.
1 can just imagine the year-long, good-natured ribbing
that these men must endure. All I can say is that if citizens can
bare it all for a good cause, then government spending should
be pared to cover the necessities- -we d o n ’t need to regress
to a caveman lifestyle.
