The Beer Bar

OK we all use pseudonym like names here (well except TY I saw his license and his name is actually Tampa Yankee )... we want to protect our identity for some obvious reasons. But what I do not understand is why authors use them. Why did this begin and why does it continue?

Hilarious episode. Did anyone else watch this episode? This series has consistently excellent writing on a base of exceptional character development. As funny as the baptism sequence was it was brilliantly brought to conclusion with Phil, Clare and their son at the end of the show.

For some reason, the death of Aaron Swartz really bothers me. He hung himself. No one knows exactly what his reasons were, but surely the fact that he was facing 35 years in prison for stealing files from MIT was a factor. 35 years might seem like a long time to a 26 year old. I had never heard of him until yesterday, but such a brilliant mind gone so young is troubling. Why would the government seek such a harsh penalty? Swarz's family sure believes that the prosecution was a factor in his death. They issued this statement: “Aaron’s death is not simply a personal tragedy,” Mr. Swartz’s family and partner said in a statement. ”It is the product of a criminal justice syst…

It is likely a foreign software company at a foreign country manipulated the lottery system by generating fake winners and then government officials, foreign software providers, lottery managers divided the unclaimed prize money among themselves. Since the company who provided the software can use their foreign status to protect themselves from legal issues, it is very hard to investigate. I don't think it can happen in US lottery system but wonder it could happen too. What we see is not all and there are so many unethical activities perpetuated by extremely cunning people in the dark.

Boy Toys, Escorts And Houseboys, Oh My! At BoyToy, we use a lot of terms to describe different types of sexual relationships between older guys and young gays. While many of you are familiar with these terms already, we know that many guys cum here who are new to the gay scene. Not everyone becomes strictly dickly when they are 18. Some of us didn't figure out that sausage was our thing until we were older. With that in mind, we decided to do a rundown on the three most common types of relationships we discuss boy toys, escorts and houseboys. While all are similar in that they involve trading the salami with an up and cummer, there are nuances to the relationships and…

Just something that might be of interest. During most of his lifetime, people in high office preferred to ignore the British composer, Benjamin Britten. Perhaps because he was a pacifist who chose to see out the early years of the Second World War in America. Perhaps because he was known to be gay in a time when this was against the law of England. He met his life partner in 1937 when he was 24. And then there were the strong gay undercurrents in his operas. Two of his most famous are “Peter Grimes” and “Billy Budd”. The former is set in a claustrophobic English seaside village where the gossip in the pub often turns to the unmarried fisherman, a loner named Peter…

I would love to visit Moscow and St. Petersburg, but I certainly have reservations now. By MANSUR MIROVALEV (AP) In this Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012 file photo Russian gay right campaigner Pavel Samburov... Full Image MOSCOW (AP) - Kissing his boyfriend during a protest in front of Russia's parliament earned Pavel Samburov 30 hours of detention and the equivalent of a $16 fine on a charge of "hooliganism." But if a bill that comes up for a first vote later this month becomes law, such a public kiss could be defined as illegal "homosexual propaganda" and bring a fine of up to $16,000. The legislation being pushed by the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church would ma…
