They seem to have misplaced the July photo in June.

Also, what the heck is going on in that December photo anyhow ... is it just me, or does he have a whole series of little Davids springing forth from his crotch and falling into the fire?

You guys open .doc files from people you don't know? Really?

Maybe somebody can post jpgs?

Oops. A recurring link.

Yes. And some of us are still waiting for our free Ipods, large penises, and Presidential Rolexes that were promised to us.

Okay, I followed a couple of links, and found The Swimmer. Lest you think David is not up on cultural stuff, according to cheesedip, it's "an exquisite photo essay shot by Jeff Riedel for the New York Times Magazine in 2001 inspired by the classic 1968 Burt Lancaster movie which was based on this short story by John Cheever."

Look closely for David with his trunks off!

There is something so right about the David Hasselhoff phenomenon. I can't say I understand what it is, but it's true. He rules, simply for his unalloyed Hasselhoffness.

I'm trying to imagine what sort of cracker would think the perfect delivery device for a virus would be a 2005 Hasslehoff calendar. Probably German.

Argh! I went to look at the site, and accidentally clicked on the downloadable calendar. Now my IP address is permanently logged somewhere as actually WANTING this. Sigh.

Thank goodness it opened automatically in OpenOffice, which won't run MSOffice viruses...

Actually this is why they love us.

And, for the record, I'd just like to say David Hasselhoff rocks. The guy can do anything but he doesn't brag about it because he's already got everything. Really, no single man has done more to bring people all over the world together in a spirit of good will and good times than my good friend David Hasselhoff. From Cali car enthusiasts to Chinese peasants (who love Baywatch!), everybody knows and admires the pure force of goodness that is Mr. Hasselhoff. (It was really him that brought down the Wall.) I'll proudly go out and buy this calendar and put it up in my office... in June.

What percentage of those photos are self-parody I wonder.
posted by Dagobert at 2:01 AM on March 24, 2005

I can't help but wonder... who is this for? I can't see straight women or gay men liking this. Is it totally for kitsch value and to make it possible for us to torture our friends via email?

If David Hasselhoff got in a fight with William Shatner, who would win and why?

If it was on pay-per-view then I'd say everyone wins!

At first, I figured you must be a pretty lucky guy, having more than one girlfriend. However, given that they've taken to surfing the web for Hasselhoff pics together, I'd say you're actually in real trouble.

... and does David Hasselhoff know he's the biggest cheescake ever?

I believe it would be a dead heat and I have a pet theory that I think may illuminate the situation. I strongly believe that Hasselhoff and Shatner are (non identical) twins who were seperated in birth. They are identical in all non-physical ways, except one - Shatner realises his ridiculousness and has built his career on it, whereas the wonderfully deluded Hasselhoff has bought his own hype and seems to be completly serious about his (equally hilarious) body of work.

Thus, were they ever to go head to head, it would end in a wonderfully kitsch and entertaining draw.

Maybe we of Metafilter are Hasselhoff's audience. After all, we seem to really be interested in him.

I fondly remember this thread in especial.

Say what you want about The Hoff, he's in pretty darn good shape for a 52-year-old guy. I can think of lots and lots of men his age that have no business walking around in a Speedo.
posted by Bluecoat93 at 12:40 PM on March 24, 2005

I asked the Hoff what kind of new socks I should get and he told me I should hire the A-Team. Usually a good answer but it didn't address my immediate problem. I'll stick with AskMefi for now.

Well, we devoted a whole thread to making fun of David Hasselhoff. Stay tuned for a thread on fish-barrel marksmanship. Jeez.
