It's being touted in this article as a new technology: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/13/business/in-a-mood-call-center-agents-can-tell.html?hp By analyzing voice patterns, supposedly you can ascertain what a person really thinks versus what he says. It seems like a crock of shit to me. The whole basis for the analysis depends on what some third person determines voice patterns mean. I doubt they are any better at this than those folks who tell you they can determine what your dreams mean. The article speaks of the helpfulness this could have for say, people in call centers. If you say how happy you are with their product, they can analyze your voice patterns and determine that you really think their product sucks. Just like lie detector tests supposedly tell when you are lying. They are so unreliable that courts don't allow them as evidence. Yet they are used- often in employment settings- and believed, often with harsh consequences. So now you have someone who will say that you don't mean what you say, and they know this as a scientific fact. Horseshit. If only my typing patterns could reveal what I really think, you might learn that truthfully I love this new technology. Or not.

Balloons always make for a good fuck show. Why is that?

Duke seems to have mellowed slightly as he now ignores me when I drop by. I am looking for a Scottie puppy to buy if anyone knows a quality breeder. Oz, you are right that a home needs a dog...or three!

What a coincidence. I am also available at 7:30 a.m.!

I take it that the third dog didn't tug at your hard heart.

These guys we like are simply not the average man. He is more like us, if you believe this study, reported in The Atlantic magazine. We discuss the guys we like in terms of inches- say, nine or ten. But this guy is 39 inches-around the waist. Why is it that we don't see pics of him in the Pornification forum? Don't we lust after guys just like us? Now, it's true, you may be the exception to the rule. So post your pic then! (For the record, I am increasingly obese. As I get older, I work out less. But this is enough to get me to the gym!)

In St. Petersburg, Russia: .

Dogs often like to have a friend, so two dogs can be a good idea. We lost one of our two Scotties in July, so are looking to get a puppy around the first of the year. A Scotty of course.

I have long been a fan of Norman Rockwell, and have been to Vermont where there is a gallery devoted to his paintings. I see him as a patriot in the meaning of the word as it was used when I grew up. It's been bastardized or something nowadays by the Tea Party or others who think that you are not a patriot if you don't agree with them.

And a joke: A lady walked into a drugstore and told the pharmacist she needed some cyanide right away. The pharmacist naturally was concerned by such a request and asked, “Why in the world do you need cyanide?” The lady then explained that she needed it to poison her husband. The pharmacist’s eyes got big and he said, “I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband! That’s against the law! I’ll lose my license. They’ll throw both of us in jail and all kinds of bad things will happen! Absolutely not! You cannot have any cyanide!” The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist’s wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, “Well, now. You didn’t tell me you had a prescription.” One more joke? A man is walking in a graveyard when he hears the Third Symphony played backward. When it’s over, the Second Symphony starts playing, also backward, and then the First. “What’s going on?” he asks a cemetery worker. “It’s Beethoven,” says the worker. “He’s decomposing.” *** Since we're on a roll, here's my kind of toilet:

CONFIDENTIAL to Mario---no others to read---Important! Mario, please cum all over my chest and face, and then do it again, after I eat your ass.

I could do that.

I wish we could all just have a "do-over" on the Casper thread. We need and want escorts to post here, but he needed to test the waters a little more gently. And we could have responded a little more gently. Was today a full moon or some other outer space event that caused boo-boos on ghosts?

Do we have many here who use frequent flyer miles to fly to Europe? I have had great success in going to Brazil and Thailand-and Hong Kong- without a problem, but going to London is not worth it, unless I am missing something. When I tried to use my miles to go business or First to London, the "fee" charged is almost the entire coach fare! So, give up over 100,000 miles, then pay $1100 in fees, and you get a "free" ticket to London. But regular coach fare at the time I checked was only $1200. I think I could suffer coach rather than pay that much, or I could stay home. Actually, I went to Brazil. We've done that several times now for 40,000 miles each in coach and $54 for a co-pay. Added fees to Thailand are similar. One problem with United is that on a Saver Award, they make you fly Business or First on Air China, not United. But they are great on coach tickets. Any ideas on using my miles on AA to visit London? Fly into Paris?

He had his fans, Oz being one of them. And of course, there was Casper himself. Given time, we all might have come to know and like him. He just got off to a bad start, not knowing the terrain he was taking, I think that's one reason why many people lurk before they post, so they can get a better feel for the forums and the way people conduct themselves...or not.

Bangkok has a great Chinatown, it is just not friendly to pedestrians. Many merchants have taken over what passed for sidewalks, and now it is each man for himself. Granted, I was there in the days before Chinese New Year, when it might have been especially crowded! For 2014, Chinese New Year is January 31st, and I won't be there! It's going to be the Year of the Horse, and I ain't stepping in that shit! I can only imagine how well guys with horse-hung dicks will do though.

"That's odd. All the other guys got hard when I did this."

Casper will be sorely missed by some.

I have never heard of these shows or Ryan Murphy.

He's my favorite one so far.

hehehe...I feel like I am there with you! It's always nice to read of someone traveling to Thailand and having a good time. Thanks for sharing!

kennethinthe212.com is just one of several sites getting a kick out of this newspaper headline:

I still haven't read this novel, but kennethinthe212.com is touting it today: "Two Boys Kissing" by David Levithan Everyone's talking about this one since it made the 2013 National Book Award Longlist: In his follow-up to the New York Times bestselling "Every Day," David Levithan, co-author of bestsellers "Will Grayson, Will Grayson" and "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," tells the based-on-true-events story of Harry and Craig, two 17-year-olds who are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new "Guinness World Record" — all of which is narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS. While the two increasingly dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal point in the lives of other teen boys dealing with languishing long-term relationships, coming out, navigating gender identity, and falling deeper into the digital rabbit hole of gay hookup sites — all while the kissing former couple tries to figure out their own feelings for each other

There is a sinister cabal behind the scenes in the US government, and they run things. The Patriot Act, which took away so many of our liberties, was their baby. The increased snooping by the NSA was also theirs. Now we can expect a semi-major terrorist attack that will scare the bejesus out of the country, and these very guys will move right in to protect us by taking over the government as we know it. All of our rights will be temporarily suspended, and 88% of Americans will support them, as they fear some raghead in another country might leave his mule long enough to rape their daughter. It's all in the works, and I could probably get killed for revealing this. But, it will be worth it if I save boytoy.com.

As to ultracrepidarian, lookin says that "they" say it at the other site, but, in fact, only one person has used the word, and that was just two days ago. So, we are getting ahead of ourselves if we use the word "they" prematurely, Don't you think?
