Lucky

God told me to suck more dick. What do you think I made it for, He said to me. Well, for peeing, I replied. That didn't go over well. "Peeing?" He said. "I made it exciting for men to watch other men pee and they went and put up all these partitions in the bathrooms!"

You are welcome. I use that site a lot, but it is not particularly helpful for Thailand, is it?

Avian influenza returns! As always, this one may be the bad one. One dead so far.

Well, I might not have replied, but now I am in the contest, so go girl. Fight all you want!

My thinking in saying that I would not join the contest was that I had been encouraging folks to participate, thus, if they did, I shouldn't be the one to interfere with their chances of winning the contest. But, a loyal fan writes me to say that if indeed folks were posting because I had asked them too, my position might be valid. But that's not why they are posting. It's the contest that is motivating the extra posting. Okay, well, I liked a good contest as much as anyone, and even the $500 seems appealing. So I am starting in at 3440 posts. We'll see if I make 4000. Go Lucky!

As the resident advocate of catfights, I wonder how many fights you have in your personal life if the first thing you can think of for this newly married gay couple is the fights they will have.

I am going to read at least one book this year!

It's 82 and sunny in Palm Springs. It would be warmer except that it is winter here.

Best wishes to all of the contestants. I will not be entering the contest as my prize will be seeing the increase in quality posts from all of you!

When I was nine years old, I saw the movie Old Yeller 4 times. It was the classic boy and his dog movie. (SPOILER ALERT) The movie Warhorse is similar, substituting a horse, of course, and a happier ending. I saw it this afternoon and liked it, but felt rather manipulated as it is designed to bring a tear to the eye. Tears, I expected. Drooling I didn't. Jeremy Irvine plays the boy, and boy, is he hot. The production values are also much improved since old Yeller. How could you not root for him to be reunited with his horse? I just wanted to hug him and tell him that the ending was going to be great. Is it a super wonderful movie? Well, I didn't think so, again the manipulation with all the orchestra clanging, and the wondrous vistas and colors. A bit much, but not a turn off. My interest was all, well, a lot, in Irvine. According to the Hollywood Reporter: The 21-year-old, a student at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, lacked enough acting experience for the role. (His biggest role at the time: playing a tree in the chorus of the Royal Shakespeare Company.) "I had a couple of months of going in to audition two or three times a week, sometimes doing videotape and knowing it would be shown to Steven," Irvine told THR. "It was quite intense." Irvine, who auditioned six times before winning the role, waited weeks following his first audition to hear back. "I got a call at about 8 p.m. or 9 p.m., saying, 'Can you meet Steven for tea in a hotel in London tomorrow morning?' I did what any actor would do: I freaked out," he recalled. (end quote) So, imagine yourself a casting director, seeing Jeremy and the likes of him for weeks on end. I think I would have to retire... Interview with Jeremy. I think they pumped his lips up for the movie: Jeremy Interviewed

I figured as much, and I realize how easy it is for retired folks like me to wish others spent more time here. But I value the site, enjoy it, and always want to have more interesting posts to read. So I ask. You know what they say, ask and you shall receive. If only I had asked that go-go boy at Mickys...

The Hispanic go-go boy at Micky's on Friday night had a very fine ass, the kind that goes with champagne as it was bubbly. And, on Cam4 last night, a guy who says that he is a US Marine had a super fine ass. As a matter of fact, he also has the best body I have ever seen on Cam4, and that is saying something. He claimed to be straight, but was fucking a rubber replica of a male ass, which, he said, was sent to him by a loyal fan. He was on for hours, wearing a mask to keep his fellow Marines unaware...! They'd recognize his body in a second.

Telly Leung is one of the "faces to watch" in today's LA Times. The write-up includes information about a show he is working on for the Old Globe Theater in San Diego, yet the Old Globe website says nothing about it: Leung will go from his current engagement on Broadway in "Godspell" to an ambitious and risky project taking shape at San Diego's Old Globe: a musical about the internment of Japanese American citizens during World War II. In "Allegiance," written by Jay Kuo and Lorenzo Thione, Leung plays a young man (George Takei of "Star Trek" plays the character later in life and Lea Salonga is another star) forced into the Heart Mountain camp in Wyoming, where he becomes a writer for the official camp newspaper who experiences tangled loyalties. Leung may be familiar to sharp-eyed "Glee" fans -- he is a member of the Warblers, the show choir at the private school the characters of Kurt and Blaine attended in the second season. He also played Angel is the production of "Rent" that Neil Patrick Harris directed at the Hollywood Bowl in 2010.--Kelly Scott

Hmmm...the menu heading reads Lucky Loses One Finger. No, I still have eleven! But to answer your question, why yes, the holidays did ruin my weight losing efforts. Finally I had reached the 20 pound weight loss mark. But now, I am back to losing only 15 pounds. And Oliver arrives a month from today! Can I lose ten pounds by then? If your answer is yes, then you haven't seen the Christmas candy still lying around my house! Thankfully the bf helped out by single-handedly eating almost a whole box of See's candy.

As some might have noticed, I have been encouraging folks to post more, and more often, to keep MER an exciting place for all of us to visit. I even took a short holiday to allow others to get a word in. There are 27 unpinned threads on the main menu page of the Hooboy Pub. (I eliminated the banned threads by Simon.) 8 of these threads are started by BiBottom Boy. Ten are started by administrators Tampa Yankee and Totally Oz. The last response in 20 of the 29 threads is by BiBottom Boy. So, how is this equal dispersion working? Well, not so well, although I congratulate One Finger for his efforts to increase his posting. When you look at the above statistic, you see that just a few people seem to be carrying the site. And if, by chance, you thought one or more of them was not a very interesting poster, then there is even less here to attract your interest, and, by implication, the interest of others coming to the site. We did have some new members recently, but they didn't stay long. Anyone wonder why? Many of us enjoy having this forum available as an alternative to other gay websites. But I don't see how it can be maintained by such a small group of regular posters. So, without any hectoring or badgering, I am simply trying to, once again, make the simple point that you need to give some of your own effort to maintain a lively site worth visiting regularly. In fairness, I should mention that I am focusing here on the Pub, but the other forums do have some greater diversity, even if not the readership the Pub gets. In sum, and without any attempt to hector or badger, I would just kindly suggest that as a New Year's resolution, you decide that you want the site to thrive and make a solid effort to add more content to the site. More reviews, more threads, and more responses to the posts that your fellow members are adding each day. Happy New Year, then, to those who make the commitment to the continuing vitality of the Male Escort review website.

The owner of a gay website recently announced his intention to move to Portland, Oregon, thus making it the inside favorite to win this contest next year. I like Portland too, except it is a bit wet and insular.

Chrome, being a Google product, provides far more advertising than the other browsers do.

Yes, it is true that Adriano has been a great poster with much to offer, and I join in the welcome. That said, we often get some new faces here who do not receive any kind of welcome. Perhaps they would stay longer if they did.

I would like to let Lookin have the last word here, as his word is simply gorgeous. But I need to say that I had always considered Adam Smith a treasure of this website, and was dismayed to hear that he had found other pastures to plow. Perhaps he is making the first step in returning to MER. That would be quite the occasion.

"I am also sure that our spanish speaking poster (episevilla) is quite correct in boys being available without much in compensation if you speak Spanish." Without meaning to step on anyone's toes, what would be the reason that men who, and let's be frank, need to pay for sex, are somehow desired for free by entering Colombia? Are Colombian youth just that horny? Or does the older man take on a different attraction in that culture? I mean, let's face it, we don't want to exploit anyone. Most of us would be willing to pay. Perhaps it is cultural, as I often found in Mexico. The boy doesn't want to ask for money, lest he be considered a prostitute, but he will accept a taxi fare that more than covers the price of a taxi. Am I close?

At biddingfortravel.com, a website advising on Priceline bids, one poster reported getting the Holiday Inn Silom next month for 4 nights at $49 a night. That's pretty good, and indicates other bargains are there to be found.

Well, then, so be it! I'll have a double, my good man. Take that, hotel! (Hey, I can only do one cameo today, so it has to be fun.)

Can you imagine how boring Flagstaff would be as a place to live?

gcursor, I hope that you had a very nice Christmas.
