Pierce

Here at HMBoys, we'd be exaggerating if we told you that we're real fans of sport.

Sure, we like sportsmen - and, even better, sportsboys - but when it comes to playing a game, or even watching, you can pretty much count us out.

We'd rather curl up with a good book (our current favourite is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies), watch TV (Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, True Blood) or catch up on the homework from our macramé class (we're making a bijou little plant holder right now).

So it's hardly surprising that, though this week's HMBoy Pierce is clearly a sports player of some sort, we can't tell you exactly what game he plays.

Obviously it involves a stick - but beyond that we're afraid to say that we're quite lost.

What we are quite sure of, though, is that young Pierce fills out his sports kit to perfection (and let's give the hot kid his due here: it is so difficult to carry off an orange coloured ensemble as a rule - but here he does it perfectly!)

Of course, what we really need to check out is this budding young athlete's body and, as you'll see, it's not too long at all before Pierce obliges by stripping off that top and those shorts.  Personally, we'd have liked to have seen a tight little jockstrap too - preferably a well used and sweaty one - but you can't have everything in this life...

Of course, once he's sitting on that couch and begins to get to work, we can see just how much energy young Pierce puts into any sort of physical activity - and not just on the sports field.

And, like all athletes, once he's expended all that effort all that he wants to do is grab a towel and rub away all that sweat (and any other grime, grease and, in this case, goo).

If only all sportsmen were so obliging, we'd be very happy bunnies indeed.

And so, on behalf of you all, we've decided to offer our thanks to Pierce in a unique way that he's bound, on the evidence of these pictures, to appreciate...

Because, once that pesky plant holder's out of the way, we've decided that we'll be making him his very own HMBoys macramé jock strap.
