The Beer Bar

Rock on you otherwise backwards Southern hemisphere rednecks.

Anyone else see the GOP is going insane in the membrane breaking their expensive coffee makers - because the maker pulled their ads from Hannitty? Like think about that - they already bought them so the company has their money. They are only destroying their own ability to get coffee.

Ok You can have one guy (actor, singer, whatever) show up at your door and sing Christmas carols? Who do you pick? I'm going with Ice T, cause he'd be like "fuck you all's honkey Christmas."

I have a friend who uses M4M and who knows that I traffic here. He posted something about our site over there and someone added a response as follows: Tis the site of which we do not speak. So, apparently BoyToy cannot even be mentioned there. Not a surprise for sure.

Hey, Since I was last here I got a smart phone. Is there an ap for this site or are we just on laptops?

Anyone else having problems trying to sign on to M4M? I am.

Such an interesting read and all about the dangerous of online dating. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/the-love-of-his-life-was-lured-into-a-deadly-trap-then-so-was-he/2017/11/12/81a4cd30-b93e-11e7-9e58-e6288544af98_story.html

I love some of the gifs out there. Post your favorite in this thread.

From The Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania (Nov. 10, 2017) Economists call it the ‘middle-income trap,’ and they say that it happens on every continent. Unheralded and unwanted, it occurs after a newly industrialized economy such as South Africa, Brazil, or Thailand fails to rise above what the World Bank defines as the ‘middle-income range.’ At this point, such a country’s wage rates have become too high for it to compete against low-wage, low-income nations, and yet that country lacks sufficient innovation and highly skilled personnel to compete effectively against the highest tiers of knowledge-intensive products from Japan, Germany and the U.S. And so,…

We are reading a lot these days about sexual assault. Women, in particular, are revealing the scope of a problem many of us were unaware of. So it wasn't a complete shock to come across an article detailing the problem of sexual assault upon those who are drugged. Apparently there is more of a downside to drug use than previously known, as gay men under the influence of drugs are sexually assaulted more than had been previously known. It's likely that those who do get assaulted while on drugs are less likely to report it, so what is known may be only the tip of the iceberg. Attached is an article from FS Magazine about assaults in Great Britain. Whether it is at sex …

(CNN) A federal grand jury in Washington, DC, on Friday approved the first charges in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to sources briefed on the matter. The charges are still sealed under orders from a federal judge. Plans were prepared Friday for anyone charged to be taken into custody as soon as Monday, the sources said. It is unclear what the charges are. A spokesman for the special counsel's office declined to comment. Watch this space.

The accusations are flying across the media as every woman and her brother think of someone who accosted them once a trillion years ago. What's sad is that the accused is automatically guilty in the public eye. Kevin Spacey is now a has-been. George Takei has reached the ripe old age of 80 without any scandal that I know of, but today a former model claims that Takei groped him in 1981 after they had had a few drinks. Why 36 years later this comes up can best be ascribed to the media and its constant thirst for gossip. So many just have to get in on the action. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/george-takei-accused-groping-ex-model-1980s-article-1.3624884

Whose going to defend Trump if something happens in China while he's there? A Lucky investigation: Okay, maybe they are not soldiers!

NOTE -- I post this not because I think there are many potential marathoners among the readers here but to alert those who may be in town that evening of the possibility of some of the expected 30,000 runners (many of whom will be from east Asian countries, I assume) may find way to the places we know so well to celebrate. Excerpted from The Nation Approximately 30,000 runners from all around the world are expected to join the first edition of the Amazing Thailand Marathon Bangkok presented by Toyota, which is set to take place on February 4, 2018. The event is being organised under a five-year agreement between IRONMAN, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT)…

I just saw the last member who joined is @FluffPersian. Is that our Fluffy? Is all the cool people migrating in here?

Besides the fact that the hot thread right now is about the other site (because I think it is clearly established that wether or not @TotallyOz likes it, Drama from the other Kingdom is often the major source of traffic here), do you not notice an increase in the participation during the last week or so? Is BoyToy resuscitating? Is BoyToy going to be to Daddy's what I hope Rentboy.pro will be for Rentmen: competition? Am I wishful-thinking?

From ABC News Australia Thailand is the most dangerous destination for Australian tourists, with 203 deaths recorded in the last year. Philippines was next with 126 deaths, followed by Indonesia, the United States and Vietnam. The main causes of death were illness, natural causes and accidents. The figures are part of an annual Consular State of Play report issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). Thailand also topped the list of consular cases (893), hospitalisations (195) and missing persons reports (74) during the 2016/17 financial year. Officials urged Australians to take out travel insurance and warned of the limits to the co…

Excerpted from NYTimes Thai soldiers in South Vietnam. Credit National Archives of Thailand By Richard A. Ruth, associate professor of history at the United States Naval Academy and the author of “In Buddha’s Company: Thai Soldiers in the Vietnam War.” Fifty years ago last month, the first Thai volunteer soldiers, a regiment-size unit called the Queen’s Cobras, were sent off to Bien Hoa in South Vietnam to fight alongside the Americans as part of the so-called Free World Forces. Eventually some 40,000 Thai soldiers and sailors would serve. While the Vietnam War is remembered rightly as a tragedy in both the United States and Vietnam, the same cannot be said …

Valérie Plante seeems like a very nice progressive Québécoise and she comes in with a lot of promises to fix Montreal (including updating the Metro system- Yay!) there is another side to her as well. She wants to make Montreal more "Family friendly" Some regular posters here and at the "other site" bemoan the decline of St. Catherine street in the Village from the glory days of the 90's. While I do miss those times very much i fear we will never see them again. That era has passed and many Gay businesses, struggling to survive, have had to abandon marketing solely to Gay men or face going out of business. This of course includes Gay bars and (of special inte…

I simply refuse to spell their name correctly. For many years I have felt that repiglicans are just a mean group of motherfuckers who are totally big business and hate poor people except when exploiting them Now I am unhappy to say that I believe the Democratic party is suffering from unrelenting stupidity and disorganization. We need to administer a large dose of Fleets Phospho Soda and a garden hose up the ass of the Democratic party. What the hell is wrong with our nation? Is stupidity becoming ingrained in our politics? I find it very disheartening when reading or watching the news and there seems to be little hope in sight. How despairing.

Who is this person? I am curious as to why he hides who he really is. He claims to not be Daddy.

I think it comes as no surprise to anyone here that the Weinstein saga is pouring over in the gay brokers in Hollywood and the predators they are. http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-blaise-godbe-lipman-assault207102019-story.html
