couldnt find the previous mention of the calendar but i just ran across this in the ny daily news...
Media madness has descended on the peaceful Virginia countryside in the aftermath of Lowdown's titillating report on "The Men of Rappahannock County," a wall calendar featuring photos of stark-naked residents of the rural redoubt.
On Wednesday, the day the item ran, Regis Philbin started off "Live with Regis and Kelly" by holding up the Daily News' reprinted photo of the "Lunch Bunch," a group of geezers who meet regularly to chew the fat. Philbin got laughs by ordering a closeup of 81-year-old Rappahannock County man Walter Day - who stole the show on ABC's "Good Morning America" Thursday when he and his fellow Lunch Bunchers (all bravely unadorned, tastefully obstructed) appeared live from the Griffin Tavern in Flint Hill, Va.
Then nude motorcyclist Peter Kreyling - whose wife, Cathy, organized the calendar to help fund a rubberized track for the cash-strapped local high school - appeared Wednesday night with Paula Zahn on CNN.
"I am sleep-deprived," Cathy Kreyling told me. "It has been completely crazy - the phone hasn't stopped ringing. We've even been getting calls from some of these supermarket tabloids in Florida."
In other developments, anti-calendar school board candidate Jim Oyster was trounced in Tuesday's election by pro-calendar candidate Meredith Gorfein, whose husband, Henry, posed in the buff as one of the Lunch Bunch. And the initial 5,000-copy press-run has sold out at $15 apiece, with another 5,000 available through "The Men of Rappahannock County" Web site, www.tmorc.com.
That must have been Cathy then who propositioned me at the video store to be in next year's calendar. I'm tellin ya, I felt like a piece of meat, har har.
The calendar website has been updated with nude butt-ocks.
yikes, and a signing
