As responsible webmistresses, we like to see how folks are meandering the interwebs and ending up on our humble blog. Well, interestingly, it turns out we're NOT the only ones who want to see "Richard Engel Shirtless" because people are Googling said phrase right and left and being directed to us. Unfortunately, we have no shirtless pics of Engel to share (sorry to disappoint), but we can offer you this excerpt from his book A Fist In the Hornet's Nest:
"I wanted to be ready at a moment's notice, which also made sleeping something of an issue. I don't generally sleep with any clothing on, which could potentially have led to somewhat awkward circumstances if the hotel caught fire, was stormed by fedayeen or if bepistoled intelligence agents burst into my room in the dead of night. I envisioned myself standing outside the Palestine Hotel naked as a fish, a bed sheet wrapped around me like a swami, redfaced in front of the other reporters. It wouldn't have looked very professional."
People Of The Internet, you're welcome.
Richard, we TOTALLY get that you're an über-responsible correspondent who would never post such a salacious picture of yourself. But keep in mind, it's not really that taboo anymore. After all, remember this picture...
Yeah. New World, New Rules. FTW.
Love the Joan Wilder reference ladies.
