Oh, and the pic I posted wasn't doctored. It was staged, for sure, as a publicity add:

I had not heard about it before and did a little investigating and confrimed my suspition it was named for Mark Bingham, the Gay Rugby player and P.R. Executive who died on Flight 93 on 11 September 2001.

The Bingham Cup is, indeed, named after the late, great Mark Bingham, one of the heroes of Flight 93. He was one of the ones who was instrumental in organising the passengers on that ill-fated flight to make a stand against the terrorists. Mark Bingham is believed to have joined Todd Beamer and other brave souls in their rush on the cockpit, in an endeavour to re-take control of the aircraft. Todd Beamer's rallying cry of "Let's Roll" has since become the stuff of legend.
Mark Bingham, a true-life gay hero we can all be proud of.

Two of my brothers played Rugby. One was captain of a representative New South Wales team that toured Tasmania in the 1950s. He was also gay and is now deceased. Following my mother's death, I found his captain's badge, from that long-ago Tasmanian tour, which I now very much treasure.
As a small child, I remember watching my big brothers coming off the field, covered in mud and blood; our poor, dear mother nearby, in floods of tears. Rugby always was a tough game, but it seemed to be even more brutal way back then, before it was gentrified for the television camera.
But I digress! Back to the subject at hand - SCRUMS!!! :P :D
I, too, Matt, have had fantasies about having my head stuck in one of those heavenly scrums! :-* :-* :-*
I don't fancy the resultant, mandatory cauliflower ears, however! :laugh:
Kerry:
Movie stars? Models? Porn stars? ???
Nope. :-\
They're Aussie Rugby players (the straight variety), participating in a PR exercise at the beach. :-* :-* :-*
Enjoy! ;D
