AAAArrrgggghhhh! One of my readers (and I would add contributor – you know who you are) got me hooked on reddit – seemingly harmless enough. My first 2 days on the gay porn subreddits I enjoyed ID’ing pics and vids, then quickly spent less time daily, and just a couple check ins. But occasionally, something would send me down the rabbit hole of researching… and this pops up Friday
I know I know this, I know I know this….. Cosco? Fox Studio? from Halsted’s Earth Man series? Butch Barnes, Butch Barnes! who’s the other guy??? some time later I’ve figured it out, post my finding (Fox Studio’s Furlough contained in the Muscle Up collection). and my buddy confirms I’m right, but points something out while not seen in the animated GIF above, there’s not only one other guy (I knew that) but claims there is a fourth. And of course mentions the Patrick Cowley music .. so now I am compelled – COMPELLED – to dig out the VHS and watch, listen, perhaps digitize – but its not on my collection list. So I go to the hard drive for evidence, and only see the boxcover art, and image I created back in the summer of 2017. Did I sell it, did I sell it? no eBay auction file, so maybe it’s here – somewhere – in the porn basement, and I just neglected to add it to the porno collection spread sheet. I located the 3 other FOX VHS tapes I have, but alas, no Muscle Up. typo. what about a typo? maybe its a typo – I search for “Mucsle_Up” in my files, and BAM! I see I sold that darn thing in 2017, back when I was trying to lighten the load for the big move, as well as put some dough in the bank before leaving the full-time job. So then I try various websites to see if I can easily find the scenes, and that’s all of this morning, into the afternoon when I give up. BUT but but..
But. let’s go back to some harddrive file searches, Fox Studios, Muscle Up (and various misspellings) , then FOX_BROCHURE and we get this, below!
Hitchhiking marine stud BUTCH BARNES gets a lift from DENNIS and back at DENNIS’s house they strip for a swim and wind up sucking and screwing. DENNIS’s gardener MARIO watches through the window. MARIO almost shoots when he sees BILLY the grocery boy arrive and BUTCH sucking him to a 10-1/2″ climax. Too much for MARIO he climbs in the window and….
