I rarely look at numbers for the guys who post regularly. I did notice TY's 5000 since he stopped right on the number. When I see someone I do not recognize, I check his post count.

Most religions are enemies of the gay community. We have to face that fact or else see them continue to run roughshod over our rights.

Thanks for posting that, EXPAT. I had missed it since I do not have TV anymore, only my little ROKU box!

Thanks, Oz, for the shout out. I appreciate that MER took me in when another web site had cast me out. Now my advancing age and maturity has allowed me to get along with both web sites, but I still enjoy posting here at MER and am proud to take the position as second highest poster on the site.

She did a great job. And the Artist for Best Movie is a good pick too. EXPAT has said good night, and I think I will too.

I thought he was good. Does Viola Davis have a lock on Best Actress?

Told you so.

Woody Allen had another engagement tonight.

I'm rooting for The Artist.

He's right here!

Well, I guess the live blogging of the Oscars has fizzled. I don't want to be talking to myself. EXPAT, come back!

Gosh, am I live blogging by myself? EXPAT signed out! I lost on best supporting actor, but best director will easily go to Michel Hazanavicius, "The Artist" even though Martin Scorsese, "Hugo" is favored.

HuffPost has the Dictator spilling ashes prank: Dictator Prank (Actually, Huffpost links to Moviefone for the prank.)

I think Jonah Hill is going to win for Moneyball. Plummer has the edge, but I think hill will beat him out.

I liked Spencer in that as well. She can use my toilet anytime!

Um, what are thee guys wearing? I couldn't care less about dresses!

The Dictator video has been pulled. I didn't get to see it.

OMG! Is that the Dictator? That Dave Karger is a doll! He's gay too!

I'm here! I liked the Darren Criss picture. Also, I am so surprised that the red carpet stuff is already started. Usually you think of this stuff happening at night...

I didn't want to spoil the photo with words, but here is a response from the Marine in the picture, which is found on the Facebook page, Gay Marines: To everyone who has responded in a positive way. My partner and I want to say thank you. Dalan, the giant in the photo, can't believe how many shares and likes we have gotten on this. We didn't do this to get famous,or something like that we did this cause after 3 deployments and four years knowing each other, we finally told each other how we felt. As for the haters, let em hate...to quote Kat Williams, everyone needs haters, so let them hate. We are the happiest we have ever been and as for the whole PDA and kissing slash hugging in uniform...it was a homecoming, if the Sergeants Major, Captains, Majors, and Colonels around us didn't care...then why do you care what these random people have to say? In summation thank you for your love and support. I received a lot of friend requests off this. I don't just accept requests so if your request was because of this post message me and let me know. Goodnight all, and Semper Fi." --Brandon Morgan Read more: http://www.towleroad.com/#ixzz1nVymPTKQ

Well, I might take Oz out for dinner! And then the remaining $490 would be spent on a cute escort. (Note the smilies, guys.)

I just surpassed Totally Oz for number of posts. Surely there is a prize for that! Only Tampa Yankee cannot be surpassed as he is 1000 ahead of me!
