The capacity of gay men to find double-entendres in just about anything is, uh, bottomless. So I suspect I’m not alone in smiling slightly at all these “search for the bottom” stories that are currently in circulation. This one, from Sunday’s New York Times, deserves special mention because of its use of quotes from Russell Napier, a consultant with Credit Lyonnais who also happens to be the author of this great title:
Anatomy of the Bear: Lessons From Wall Street’s Four Great Bottoms
The link, sadly, is safe for work.

HA! I think someone should make this into a porn for HUMP.
Anyone, Eli. Not just gay men. Anyone with a remote sex drive finds double-entendres anywhere, anytime.
yeah, eli. it’s not just your gay ass that finds these.
Who are the four great bottoms of wall street? Any ideas…
@ 2 & 3: trust me, there are WAY more harmless phrases that mean something to gay guys than there are for straights.
Just the other day I was thinking that “hands-free” means something completely different for gay boys than it does for the rest of society.
Tell me, Mike the Mo, what do it mean?
Have gay guys never watched Beavis and Butthead?
beavis and butthead prove what eli is saying about the gays dont they?
Buttfucking! Putting a dick in a male anus and getting poopoo on it from the other man’s butthole! Cuz buttholes are where shit comes from! Gay fuck shit! Gay homofucking buttsex getting weenies covered with poopoo is the most important thing in the universe!
Yeah, straight folks can do the same. But most of use outgrew it in junior high.
@10 Most of us didn’t outgrow it, we just started keeping it to ourselves after Junior High.
@ 6: it is when the bottom (me) has an orgasm strictly from the pleasure his boyfriend is giving him from anal sex. I.e. he comes without using his hands.
Mike the Mo? I like it.
Is this just another way of saying “We Are SO FUCKED”?
@ 13 – Andy, you need to add, “and not in a good way.”
