Lucky

Great post, lurkerspeaks! I enjoyed it.

My "fix' didn't stay as I was logged in when I came here, even though I had signed out.

No thanks needed! It already says Good Lucky on the bill!

I couldn't get this photo to upload in response to Adam Smith's post about it, but it seems if I try a new post, it goes as an attachment. So, in the Green Path thread you will see why Mr. Smith posted this. AdamSmith Posted Today, 04:30 PM Somewhere in the attic amongst other juvenile jokes & novelties, I have an old dollar-bill parody which in place of "Silver Certificate" reads "Rubber Snapificate" and is of course printed on rubber instead of paper. Elsewhere in place of the standard text are several puns about how it will bounce, etc. View images of front and back here: http://currency.ha.c...92&lotIdNo=8066 (Can't post the image directly because the image type is not supported here.) The one pictured here is issue of The Delighted States of Hysteria. Just recalled that mine is currency of The Untied States of Anemia -- rather more fitting for our times today, even though I got it back around 1972.

It's so nice to have the Brazil stories back. I enjoy every one of them.

At 40, Mario still looks gorgeous, even if his pants were too tight. (Thanks, HuffPost.com)

No wonder I found a pair of Thai briefs on my edit function.

I saw the original show (twice!) at the Jane Street theater with John Cameron Mitchell and went nuts. It was just wonderful.

Oz, I tried that, and still no edit function. But, having faith in you and the guys working so hard on this, I tried it again just now, and guess what? I was able to submit an edit for consideration! Interesting enough, my other comment that I was coming to the site already logged in seems to have been fixed too.

Judge Richard Posner, who wrote the majority decision saying that requiring ID from voters was legal, now says that he was wrong. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/16/us/politics/judge-in-landmark-case-disavows-support-for-voter-id.html?hp

I still can't find the edit function. If I could, I might want to suggest kindly that this is no longer true of Ground Zero: "While a new building will eventually be constructed, Ground Zero today remains a large, unimproved hole in the ground".

Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. H. P. Lovecraft He was a very quotable guy! But he died at the age of 46, apparently having said all he had to say.

Oh, I'm pretty wired already from seeing those pix of yours! BTW, I met your avatar the other day:

Adam, glad to know we can count on you. Nothing sinister is expected to be found, however. It could just be a simple matter of me having given my password out to too many people! Is this a reliable quote? Adam never said that!

"Most members ever online in one day was 90, last accomplished on 14 Oct 2013" Yesterday was a banner day for boytoy.com, yet there was no hullabaloo over it. We set a record! Isn't that wonderful? Lots of folks coming here to read EXPAT and hitoallusa and tomcal and lurkerspeaks and, well, YOU! So we should be at least happy if not proud. Unless. Yes, unless the statistic is not reliable. I say that because since the site upgrade, when I come to the forums I am already signed in, even though I signed out when I left my last visit. So does the above statistic reflect people who are actually here, or people who are signed in but have no idea that they are? Inquiring minds want to know!

The saving grace of all of this is that they have way too much information to actually look at or listen to. And so much of it is foreign languages, they will need far more translators than are available. Now if they just focused on suspected terrorists, their workload might be more manageable.

Quite a chest on the second guy. Poor firecat is out about $6 US, so maybe we should take up a collection.

Would I welcome a guy who shows up to my hotel room at 2 a.m. Not necessarily. He has to be awfully hot, and the guys already in my room would have to agree.

Since no one has responded, and I won't suggest that it is because your premise is wrong, I will simply respond that I don't like her all that much. That is one reason I didn't see Gravity. Who believes it is anybody in space besides Sandra Bullock and George Clooney?

I want to see Captain Phillips. I won't read the story about it being a lie until after I see it. I hated Don Jon. There haven't been many good movies these last few months. So I hope Phillips is it.

On the topic of the NSA, or, It Never Stops: WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency has been sifting through millions of contact lists from personal email and instant messaging accounts around the world — including those of Americans — in its effort to find possible links to terrorism or other criminal activity, according to a published report. The Washington Post reported late Monday that the spy agency intercepts hundreds of thousands of email address books every day from private accounts on Yahoo, Gmail, Facebook and Hotmail that move though global data links. The NSA also collects about a half million buddy lists from live chat services and email accounts.

One underground movement that Iread about is to use the trigger words in innocuous emails- tons of them- so that NSA will be too busy trying to find them, they won't have time to read lookin's email!

Our fellow poster firecat has had some great success with grndr in Thailand, and now he says that jack'd is even better. So I hauled out the Ipad to sign up so I could see the cute Thai guys who want to share their young, firm, cum-filled, sexy bodies with trim, fit, sexy Caucasians like myself. Of course I made myself ten year and ten pounds lighter. That Asian "respect for the elders" thing only goes so far. But the Ipad said I couldn't sign up for grndr "at this time." So, I signed up for jack'd. They ask for your email and password, and I thought surely they don't expect me to give them the password to my email, so i made one up. Why would they need my email password anyway? Well, it turns out that they do because I couldn't log-in with my made up password, and those Thai guys had to masturbate rather than come on my face. Well, cum on a picture of my face. And no, I don't guarantee that it is really my face, but I do have photos of several of you. So, am I missing something here? Jack'd didn't throw me off, so I can't say i was jack'd off, but I wasn't allowed on either, so I couldn't turn on and tune in. I want to see hot Thai boys on jack'd so i will know what I could get if I went there. Could he be on jack'd??? Or him? Or him? Okay, probably not these particular guys, but similes thereof?

I thought Obama had cracked down on leaks.

It's been so long since Sister Mary Brutality taught me English grammar. If she only knew that Google would come along, she might not have been as harsh. Word and Usage FAQs > Lie / Lay / Lying / Laying Lie is an intransitive verb (one that does not take an object), meaning "to recline." Its principal parts are lie (base form), lay (past tense), lain (past participal), and lying (present participle). [Lie meaning "to tell an untruth" uses lied for both the past tense and past participle, with lying as the present participle.] Lay is a transitive verb (one that takes an object), meaning "to put" or "to place." Its principal parts are lay (base form), laid (past tense), laid (past participle), and laying (present participle). The two words have different meanings and are not interchangeable. Although lay also serves as the past tense of lie (to recline) – as in, "He lay down for a nap an hour ago" – lay (or laying) may not otherwise be used to denote reclining. It is not correct to say or write, "I will lay down for nap" or "He is laying down for a nap." The misuse of lay or laying in the sense of "to recline" (which requires lie or lying) is the most common error involving the confusion of these two words. > Once you lay (put or place) a book on the desk, it is lying (reclining, resting) there, not laying there. > When you go to Bermuda for your vacation, you spend your time lying (not laying) on the beach (unless, of course, you are engaged in sexual activity and are, in the vernacular, laying someone on the beach). > You lie down on the sofa to watch TV and spend the entire evening lying there; you do not lay down on the sofa to watch TV and spend the entire evening laying there. > If you see something lying on the ground, it is just resting there; if you see something laying on the ground, it must be doing something else, such as laying eggs
