Keep Calm and Picnic On!
They say that a lot of hot guys are just a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic. For me however, I'd rather skip the extra carbs and dine on a hot guy over a baggie with an old soggy sandwich. So... now that we've settled on our protein, lets get back to the original question, picnic table or blanket?
I think I'm a blanket guy all the way. It goes back to my childhood, when picnics, were a cheap and easy way for my parents to take us out. We didn't really have the money to go to restaurants very often, I think our family went out to eat a total of maybe a six or seven times total when I was kid. But my mother, who knew who to improvise without much money, could easily pack some PB and J's, fruit and some warmn Tang in a thermos.
Now we didn't have one of those fancy red and white checkered picnic blankets. I grew up in the eighties, so we had one of those red, tartan wool blankets. It was one of those multi-purpose blankets, it served as a spare blanket for beds, a beach blanket, and of course for our family picnics. It was always itchy, and had an odd smell. It also always seemed to always have sand on it, no matter how many times it was washed.
Still, there was something comforting about that old itchy blanket, something I miss. I wish I still had it. Whenever I see one, or even a picture, that plaid pattern and feel on my skin comes coming back. I so closely associate with my parents, and the many times I spent laying on it, with both my family, and in the backyard with friends. It went on every road trip, every vacation, and almost every trip to the lake or the beach.
Still... picnic tables have their place. We didn't own one, but I have fond memories of hanging out on picnic tables on many camping trips. I associate them with summer, and with fun. Dangling my feet over them when they didn't hit the ground. When I got older, we've often party at campgrounds, sneaking in beer and sitting on the picnic table near the camp fire.
Picnics are something inexpensive, that almost everyone can enjoy. Even Playgirl Magazine used the theme in several layouts over the years.

Now the real question.....
So, now that you've decided on where to plant your butt, here is the real question... Would you rather a picnic like the one above, or a quieter afternoon outside like the images below???

I think there is room for both, quiet and alone but also surrounded by lovely men, such as the ones in this post. I have to say, loved the thick pubic hair in some of those shots. I am a fan of a thick bush.
