Friday LinkFrogging - 2/17/12

Spring is in the air.

Sure it may not officially begin until March 20, but all of the signs are there.

Baseball season has begun.

The rains have returned to South Texas.

And, perhaps more importantly, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue is out.

Now, I understand that's not a big deal for you younger readers.  You don't remember a time when you couldn't just google your way to thongs and nipple pokes, but back in the dark ages, like before even AOL, the arrival of the swimsuit issue was a rite of passage for the teenaged American male.

Unless you had a dirty old uncle or, as I once did, a friend who stumbled upon a foot locker full of skin mags, the SI swimsuit issue was where you went to get a peek at hot chicks in skimpy outfits.

Now that I type that the origin of LinkFrogging's cheesecake comes a bit more in focus.

Anyway, we are always happy to feature the current "it" girl, should the opportunity present itself.  It is in that spirit that I ask you to say hello to this week's cheesecake, Kate Upton.

Earlier this week, Ms. Upton was unveiled as this year's covergirl.  Thanks Dave!

I had planned to present Ms. Upton later this year when she appears in the upcoming Three Stooges movie.  Even I was able to recognize this was a more appropriate opportunity.

The rumor mongers have linked Ms. Upton to New York Jets quarterback, Mark Sanchez.

She refuses to comment.

I refuse to care.

Why?

This is why!

On to the links.
