Bieber's taste in clothing may have caused his breakup!

I didn't want to say it at first, but now that fewer people are looking at the thread, I can tell my story and not look boastful. Over the past 30 years, The Art of Manliness has asked me to be both their spokesman, and, at many other times to pose for a centerfold and accompanying article calling me the epitome of manliness. Well, I just didn't want the attention; a real man, you know, doesn't seek it. So, after several years of virtually bombarding me with offers, I had to go to court to get a restraining order, keeping them away. I didn't feel very manly doing that. (This story has no basis in reality.)

If waiting in line at Jack in the Box represents the 70's, I am glad that I lived elsewhere! Some other hamburger place!

The Performers will close on Sunday, only 7 performances on thee official run. They did a lot of previews. I almost bought a ticket for $127 + fee, total $137. Thank you moderators for sending the hand of Twink down to stop me!

One doesn't think of you consorting with meth users, hito. BTW< Congrats on the 3000th post. I hope you had fun posting them.

No such luck. He was treated by paramedics after being removed from the theater. Patrons were given paper towels to clean themselves. One woman failed to clean up: (not an actual patron)

Okay, then. It is not about me, but who are those guys who only post so they can get to the top? The most-liked ones? That would be ironic. We like what they post! Let's see, we've ruled out Lucky and lurkerspeaks...

He liked his crystal meth too. After failing to win a ranking of #1 following the 2008 Olympics, he became depressed and entered the spiral of crystal meth. He reveals this in his new autobiography, Twists and Turns. He is also interviewed on Australia's 60 Minutes, a short preview of which is here: http://video.au.msn....minutes/xqmkd46

I am not lookin to be contrary here, but I am beginning to wish that nudity on the streets of San Francisco had never gotten off the ground. If you are unfamiliar with the controversy over the right to be naked in public, this might fill you in: http://www.nytimes.c...nce.html?ref=us When we think of nude men, we think of the guys in the Pornification Forum. (This guy, for example, I want to see naked, just not at the grocery store: But the reality is different: I don't want to see the naked parts of most people, and I think I have just as much right to walk the streets without being offended as anyone. Why these folks think they have a right to be naked in public escapes me. We have social customs that have worked for a long time. Society functions best when groups can coexist, but nudists are not happy being allowed to go forth at parades and fairs. They want to expose themselves to me, and I don't want to see it. Why can't it snow in San Francisco? Get those metal benches nice and cold...

In other theater news, a drunk patron at the Paul Rudd play "Grace" was sitting in the front row of the mezzanine the other night when he vomited all over the people sitting below. The show didn't miss a beat despite the commotion.

There were 44 in my class, so we knew each other well. Since I came out, only one of them ever contacted me again, and that was to get me to come to a reunion. I didn't go.

Thanks, JKane, for providing that link. I sent them this: Comments: Your refusal to listen to over 600,000 customers on the Donald Trump issue is insulting. You are alienating customers like me by keeping your association with this dimwit.

What? You don't think his 38 year old abs look like that?

Theater critics can be harsh, at times, and why not? Some shows suck. WSJ critic Terry Teachout did not like the new Broadway musical The Performers, starring the studly Cheyenne Jackson, who plays a porn star. My first clue on this was the remark: By intermission I was positively panting for a nude scene, though I would have settled for a cyanide capsule. And, if that were not enough, he concludes his review by saying: You get the idea? That "The Performers" is being done on Broadway is a mortal insult to the intelligence of anyone who ventures within 20 blocks of the Longacre Theatre. We're talking major, major awful here, a surefire candidate for the What-Were-They-Thinking Prize of 2012.

Once while in Bangkok I went to a bodybuilding contest being held in a suburban shopping mall. Nothing gay or escorty about it, but I got to see the guys up close and they were quite friendly and enjoyed being admired. The cab driver going out there insisted on a flat fare of 600 baht. On the return the guy used a meter, so the fare only reached 150 baht. Thailand!

I'll bet Phoenix is hopping tonight! Happy birthday, lurkerspeaks.

Well, golly gosh, it sure couldn't be me he is talking about. After all, he promised Oz to stop haranguing me here. I let him have the last word in an attack on me, and he told Oz: "With all due respect TOz, I have said my piece and am now done with it. You may delete my post if you choose. I will respect the goals of your site." And it couldn't be because has no "likes" because he does. So, I guess we can blame someone else for lacking quality. Is it Oz, Lord?

For you, hito: SPECIAL TO THE SEATTLE TIMES

LUKAS RIDGESTON of Bel Ami fame is making a return to porn according to Manhunt Daily: "Lukas Ridgeston will be returning to Bel Ami to celebrate the occasion. There’s no word as to who his scene partner will be or what the scene will be involve (threesomes? twins?), but it’s guaranteed to be one of the most highly anticipated gay porn events of 2013. (I found this at wickedgayblog.com. They say that the picture is recent.)

It wasn't enough to get anyone killed, but 22 waiters at legendary New york steakhouse Sparks thought that a manager was illegally grabbing their beef over an 8 year period. Complaints resulted in bad news for the complainees as the manager continued his high-calorie diet. Now Sparks Steak House, where Mafia boss Paul Castellano was gunned down in 1985 is paying out $600,000 to the aggrieved men. The restaurant must also institute new anti-discrimination and harassment policies, along with a no-shoot-to kill zone. Hopefully the buttocks and genitalia of the wait staff are now safe. 16% of the complaints of sexual harassment at the EEOC are from men. Read more:http://www.nytimes.c...assment.html?hp

You would present a real risk. If just half the guys whom you think are cute voted for you, it might be a landslide!

I am Adam Vomit's brother, Nolan Vomit, usually shortened to No Vomit.

I offer no opinion on that! Several of Lookin's likes have been from me.

LurkerSpeaks has every right to be proud of his 215 likes! EXPAT leads with a virtually unpassable 630, then Oz with 238. In the 100's are Four Aces at 158, lookin at135, Adam Smith at 133. I am slightly ahead of Tampa Yankee, who has 100 to my 117. Reminder: Giving a "likes this" costs you nothing! You have the power to put Adam Smith ahead of lookin with just a few clicks!

My trip to Vietnam started with Ho Chi Minh City, then a flight to Ca Mau in the Mekong Delta, where we took a boat ride to the very southern tip of Vietnam. Some of the tiny villages we stopped in on that boat ride were none too happy to see Americans. But people in HCMC were friendlier. I liked the city and enjoyed seeing places I had only read about. Our hotel, The Palace (which was not) supposedly had a pretty gay disco, but you couldn't prove it by what I saw. However, gay guys there, I am told,often go out with girls and then cozy up to guys as the evening goes on. It's not too good to be an out gay there.
