The Beer Bar

CNET News.com reporter Daniel Terdiman has been traveling through the Southwest for the last three weeks on Road Trip 2007, and much of the last week or so has been spent in Arizona and Utah at jaw-dropping canyons of one type or another. So, News.com decided to present some of the best Arizona and Utah have to offer and let you make up your mind of what's the most awe-inspiring. http://news.com.com/2300-13576_3-6201515-1...5&subj=news Having hiked the Zion National Park area a few months back with Stef Lacoste, I can say that the beauty of the area is amazing. If you have never been there, it is a must see. Many areas are very close to Vegas and simply stunning!

It turns out that the cover boy for the 2008 FDNY calendar has surfaced on a 2004 video showing what a lot of his popularity is based on. http://londoncallingluv.blogspot.com/ Scroll down to Michael Biserta of Ladder Co. 131

A bit of asian spice for rice queens.

You know who you are!

Like any other community, you will meet some guys that you really click with, and others who mix like oil and vinegar. I have had both types of experiences with guys who I have interacted with on these (and the old Hooboy) message board... but I wouldn't trade them for the world. Because when they hit... they really hit! I have become very good friends with two of the admins on this board... Totally Oz and Tampa Yankee. And I consider myself fortunate to have their friendship and the wonderful memories of times we have spent together. But I am writing this today because I spent a FANTASTIC day with Cooper. Cooper (best known for his reporting on the old Gaiety and m…

Good news, at least for Oregonians... http://www.kptv.com/news/13601037/detail.html

I just got a pop-up with the Safari logo on it for DriveCleaner.com. The description sounds good (clearing my harddrive history of sex-related visits). Is this legit? Any experience? Dick

There is a new series out on fighting. I subscribed to this from ITunes. The series starts off with Muay Thai boxing. It gives a glimpse into the sport and it has some great scenes in Thailand. I recommend this to anyone who has visited the country or wants to visit the country. I really did enjoy it.

Competitive cycling in general and the Tour de France in particular are of as much interest to close to 100% of Americans as the time the tide comes in in Fiji. But this year there is one incentive to be interested: the winner, Contador of Spain. ¡GUAPISIMO! Maybe a little skinny for some tastes, but the face of an angel. The idea of his riding anything is, at least to me, a joyous one. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/30/sports/s...amp;oref=slogin http://www.velonews.com/race/int/articles/11902.0html

Thank goodness I can finally blame someone else. I was obese for many years and I thought it was my fault. But, it wasn't. It was my friends. haha I did find the article interesting from the New York Times: Obesity can spread from person to person, much like a virus, researchers are reporting today. When a person gains weight, close friends tend to gain weight, too. Their study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, involved a detailed analysis of a large social network of 12,067 people who had been closely followed for 32 years, from 1971 until 2003. The investigators knew who was friends with whom, as well as who was a spouse or sibling or neighbor, a…

Astronauts drunk on the job! What next? Who's left to look up to? Great days for those with a foot of clay fetish.

Considering this was thrown together at the last minute by the bbcm organization... it was really quite good. Tens of thousands lined Rene-Levesque to watch (including many full families with children)... and it was a very nice and varied spectacle. Lots of hots boys, colors, floats, and interesting characters... BUT... the best thing I saw.... Montreal's Mayor Tremblay (sp?) was walking along in the parade (not riding) in the middle of a large throng of politicians... waving and smilling at the crowd. It was even better than all the hot STOCK dancers in their "carwash" float, the Campus float pulling along dancer Damien, or the Taboo float with the boys dancing in a…

Going to NY with a couple of college boys from Quebec to see some Broadway. These guys are 20... so I thought, no problem, we'll go to a 18 and over party... Well Detention NYC is moved to Jersey, and Campus Thursdays College Nite Camp at Splash Bar is 21 and over (for a gay college party?). Heaven is just plain gone. Anybody know if something happened that made the city crack down on these clubs? Or was it just a financial decision on all these clubs to admit only over 21? I've been to these before (surprise surprise) and they were always really well attended.

Here is a link to an article about a Chicago priest taking money from the church to take care of a stripper. http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/478428,...riest22.article Those that visited Madrigals in Chicago probably knew this stripper Jimmy. I knew Jimmy VERY well. You note in the article he talks alot. What ever happened to no comment? Potential problem is the person that told me about this story also said the stripper has now mentioned to some people that he has a very long client list he might like to make public. (Proabably for the right price). The DC Madame thing has probably made several Escorts think they now have a thing of value, their client list. An…

It's set in the Madison Ave. world of advertising some time around 1960. The period references are lots of fun. Beyond that, a peculiar show. I've seen only two episodes, but from what I can tell there are no heroes. All the men, at least so far, are contemptible to a greater or lesser degree. The signals all point to one of them eventually coming out of the closet, to us if not to his work mates. That would be a concession to modern requirements. Another is the on-screen (hetero) sex, which amounts to boiler plate. The women are depicted as more complicated than the men, but not much. I'll stick with it until it's clear whether my interest is growing or waning.

The newest thing in health drinks. Very big in Brazil. Also popular in every other tropical and sub-tropical place I was ever in. Here it occupies a modest spot in lots of bodegas. I love it straight from a refrigerated coconut, but the canned version is good too. The buzz says it will rehydrate you, cure your hangover and, by implication, make you screw like a Brazilian. If so, I may have it to thank for some of the happy memories I brought back from all those places. http://www.observer.com Scroll down to The City and look for the item by Lizzy Ratner.

As Nelson would say"Hah-Hah"! Fuzz can still impound your vehicle-but only for a very short period. So go pick up a hooker! http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/18/1883.asp

Flynt has always been on the cuff of controversy. He revels in it. Now, he says he has 30 more names that may drop from the prostitue scandle. Who are they? I expect Flynt will keep us guessing for a while. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRIuw_KXdvU

Anyone heading up north for the great event this year? I have not decided yet and found conflicting reports as to when things are. Anyone with the know?

I watched and enjoyed the Youtube debates last night. I thought the format was nice and some good questions were asked. I thought a few of the candidates really stood out. http://youtube.com/debates On the Gay Marriage Question, my hero, Kucinich was the one who gave the anwer I wanted to hear. The rest just gave lip service. The first link above has the debate questions and responses. Take a look if you did not watch it live. Is this the wave of the future for debates? Also, many candidates make commercials just for YouTube. Isn't it interesting how the candidates are going after those of us that frequent the Internet?
