Important announcement

OK everyone. Jess and I have been discussing, and we think it is time to move Mccluca from blogspot to Tumblr. It really isn't that life-altering, but we are giving y'all some notice because it is definitely happening. All we really do is post photos, videos, and chats and Tumblr is just set up in a way that is more conducive to this type of blogging. And it's really cool and you can follow people so it's kinda like Facebook or Twitter in that sense. We will still update and such, probably more since we are both Tumblr fiends right now. I think most of our avid readers (all, like, three of you) already have Tumblr so this shouldn't really mess with anything. And for those who don't, well you should be the Tumblr. The end.

OK so here it is:

mccluca.tumblr.com

We don't have a theme or any posts yet but follow anyway.

Mid-week Man Candy

I don't know why I picked Jon Stewart this week. Let's call it a whim. Jon Stewart is not only a good-looking man (and getting better looking with age), but he is also very smart. I'm always impressed by the number of topics he seems to know everything about. Also, he's really funny, which makes anyone about 10 times hotter. So, Jon Stewart: hot, smart, funny, and probably a very nice guy. Yep, that's about it.

Mid-Week Man Candy

With the beginning of baseball comes some major league hotties...



Here's to you David Wright and John Maine, by far two of the hottest men in baseball. Of course there is more to these guys than just looks. David was an MVP candidate last year and John consistently (well, sometimes) delivers in the clutch. Know what else is pretty cool? Both of them from Virginia. Ain't that something?

Mid-week Man Candy

Remember how Lisa Turtle from Saved by the Bell loved Kevin Costner? Well, she was right. In the late 80s/early 90s, he was super hot. Field of Dreams is one of my all-time favorite movies. I could watch it a thousand times, and I'd probably still cry at the end. Bull Durham is pretty great, too. And I can't lie - I watched Rumor Has It recently, and he's still a good looking guy. So here's to Kevin Costner's two decades of hotness.

Note: We were thinking about making today's man candy an April Fool, but it didn't really work out. I guess this is kind of a joke because Katy has no idea who I'm posting, but I'm totally serious about how much I love Kevin Costner.

I feel bad...

I feel like Jess and I have been ignoring McCluca since our recent love affair with Tumblr has occurred. Don't worry faithful readers...we will still be updating here.

However, if you are interested in our Tumblrs, just check 'em out.

SkitchKD: yes tony reali is in my bed with me

McNuggets Away!

I knew I remembered watching a commercial for McDonalds when I was younger, in which a bunch of nuggets parachuted into different kinds of dipping sauce. No one, not even my family, believed it existed. Behold, the magic of YouTube.

Mid-week Man Candy

I (Katy) just absolutely dominated my outline for my persuasion theory paper. Yea, son. So as a celebration, Man Candy for all our faithful readers.

Also, as a side note, I've received a few requests from some of our readers to have Man Candy be an actual real-life person (aka not a celebrity or athlete). If anyone has an opinions or feedback on this proposition, let us know. I think we should have a virtual Man Candy pageant, but that's just me.



Here's you, Mike Green, pretty much the hottest NHL defenseman in all the land. Since the Washington Capitals are my newly adopted favorite hockey team, I obviously had to pick a favorite player and there was no doubt in my mind that Green is my guy. Yea, Ovie is a popular pick, but no one skates on the ice with the hot Canadian-ness that is Mike Green. Yes, he is about seven months younger than me which may classify me as a cougar, but I would go on the prowl for him. So here's to you, Mike.

Si se puede

ffiore957 (11:00:18 PM): i think the problem is the themes they have on here

SkitchKD (11:01:18 PM): yes you could
SkitchKD (11:01:22 PM): YES YOU CAN
ffiore957 (11:01:29 PM): that is very empowering

SkitchKD (10:29:46 PM): haha
ffiore957 (10:29:48 PM): i rolled my eyes when you said that

Two things I love right now: blogs and The Beatles. So my new favorite thing is this blog about The Beatles.


Fuck Yeah The Beatles

I love how specific some Tumblr blogs are.

SkitchKD (11:19:51 PM): i cannot wait to find out
ffiore957 (11:20:16 PM): it'll be the best man candy ever
SkitchKD (11:20:33 PM): well its not man ryan
SkitchKD (11:20:35 PM): so i doubt it
ffiore957 (11:20:37 PM): haha
ffiore957 (11:20:42 PM): you make me laugh

Mid-week Man Candy

I don't care how much negative press he's getting, I love Jimmy Fallon. Because of him (and Tina Fey), I haven't missed an episode of SNL in almost 9 years, and I paid way too much for the special edition DVD of Fever Pitch. And yes, I do watch the new Late Night. Whoever is booking the guests is doing an amazing job, but oh man - some of Jimmy's jokes are absolutely tanking. I feel bad. He's a funny guy and he seems really nice. I did actually meet him once, outside the Tabernacle after he opened for The Strokes, and he was very nice. Also, I am "that girl" - during his set, I yelled that I loved him. He said he loved me too, but now he's married to someone else, so whatever. Anyway, yay for being back on TV, and I hope his show turns out to be as good as Conan.

Cold sweats

This makes me want to have a panic attack right here because this would be my worst nightmare. I feel like only grad students really feel the pain.

Today, friends threw me a party for finishing my dissertation. I've worked on it for months. They carried my computer downstairs to have music, dropping it halfway. My work was on there. Only back-up? On my flash drive I just found on the floor, crushed by someone's foot. It's due tomorrow. FML

Too good not to share

Mid-week Man Candy

I'm really excited about this one. Jess told me to surprise her, not that this is surprising.




Here's to you, Kyle Chandler aka Coach Eric Taylor from Friday Night Lights. I freakin' love you. How can you resist his boyish good looks and adorable charm? I remember watching Early Edition and thinking you totally deserved to get the paper early because of your hotness. He also had a guest role on Grey's Anatomy...but he died :(...oh well. Oh did I mention that he went to the University of Georgia? Damn skippy. I remember there being rumors of him speaking at graduation the year I walked. That would've been amazing.

Just because

::sigh:: I miss football season already.

Prank war

You may know that I (Jess) love CollegeHumor.com and everything associated with it. Streeter and Amir have been involved in an esclating prank war for a couple of years now. About a year and a half ago, Amir pulled off an epic prank, the Yankee Prankee. It was amazing. Well, last night, Streeter totally got him back, and it was hilarious.
