Epigonos and I enjoy teasing each other about our political beliefs. The smiley was placed to let others in on the joke. I am sure that he abhors the idea that some right wing republicans would use our very gains politically against us, but I can't help teasing him that he is their fellow traveler, thus the use of the old cliche "avowed.". I had a little fun with bishop Finn too, and I hope he understands that his indictment is a source of amusement to many of us. Yesterday a 78-year old monsignor in New York tried to molest two underage boys in the same day, and it had nothing to do with Bishop Finn, so I wanted to point that out in his defense.

PS: A certain fellow poster has appropriately chastised me for my comment here. I agree that Townsend has every right to be pleased that he had the opportunity to go out with some fine and handsome young men. I overreacted in saying that his interest was only in the size of their dicks. It is only natural for us gay men to enjoy the company of charming young fellows, and it doesn't hurt to imagine what tools they carry behind their red hot zippers. I was having a bad morning, so I apologize.

SFGate.com reports: With more than half of Americans in a recent poll accepting same-sex marriage, gays and lesbians need no judicial protection from laws passed by Congress, House Republicans argued Friday in a San Francisco court in defense of a law denying federal benefits to same-sex spouses. "Homosexuals have a great deal of political power" and are not entitled to the safeguards that courts have established for laws that discriminate against racial minorities or women, attorney Paul Clement said in a filing supporting the Defense of Marriage Act... ...House Speaker John Boehner chose Clement, a former U.S. solicitor general, to take over the defense in a series of pending Defense of Marriage Act cases after President Obama announced in February that he considered the law unconstitutional and would no longer defend it.

Does he support this horrendous claim?

From dailynews.com: Call it "To Catch a Cheater" instead. Chris Hansen, host of NBC's hit pervert-nabbing show "To Catch a Predator" has been caught cheating on his wife, again, reports the National Enquirer. This time around, his mistress is stripper Kathleen Collins, whom Hansen met in a Las Vegas Club early this year. The two lovebirds enjoyed a six-month tryst before news broke of Hansen's other extramarital indescretions. In late June, Hansen was caught on tape having a date with 30-year-old TV news reporter Kristyn Cadell at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Palm Beach, Fla., before heading to the young reporter's apartment later that night. For Collins, the news came as a shock, says the Enquirer. The stripper said she was "floored" when she heard about Hansen's other fling. "I know this sounds crazy, but Kathleen really thought she was the only one," a close friend told the magazine. Hansen has two sons with his wife, Mary, 53.

I think a woman who ran a complete marathon while 9 months pregnant is bonkers. She endangered her child, as the kid will be adverse to running his entire life.

The Very Reverend Huckleberry Finn, bishop of Kansas City, Missouri, has been indicted by a grand jury there on misdemeanor charges of failing to notify officials of sexual abuse by a parish priest. The diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph was also indicted. The diocese says they did show a photo to a local cop, who said the image was not kiddie porn. But they only showed the one image, the cop says. Tom Sawyer, attorney for the bishop, says they will fight the charges or take a raft down the river, whichever seems best when spring comes. Bishop Finn Yahoo News reports that Finn acknowledged earlier this year that a parish principal had raised concerns in May 2010 that the Rev. Shawn Ratigan was behaving inappropriately around children, but that he didn't read the principal's written report until this spring. Ratigan was charged in May with three state child pornography counts, and in June with 13 federal counts of producing, possessing and attempting to produce child porn. He has pleaded not guilty and remains jailed. After receiving the principal's concerns in 2010, Monsignor Robert Murphy, the diocese's vicar general, spoke with Ratigan about setting boundaries with children. He then gave Finn a verbal summary of the concerns and his meeting with the priest. Finn says: "For our part, we will meet these announcements with a steady resolve and a vigorous defense." (Yeah, like wait a year to do anything!) (hehehe...an indictment is now an "announcement.") Last December, a computer technician found on Ratigan's laptop hundreds of what he called "disturbing" images of children, most of them fully clothed with the focus on their crotch areas, and a series of pictures of a 2- to 3-year-old girl with her genitals exposed. The parish priest, Shawn Ratigan, had hundreds of images of little kids nekkid on his computer, and the diocese and the bishop waited months to notify authorities, the charges allege. The Reverend Ratigan liked little girls. Father Rat http://www.kansascity.com/2011/10/14/3207527/bishop-finn-diocese-indicted.html

I read his post, that's what. How shallow to say your evening was a success because you were with guys who had big dicks. The size of a guy's dick has nothing to do with whether he is a good person, or even good in bed. The obsession here over dick size makes a person's value determined by a fluke of nature, and I don't like that.

He wears eyebrow toupees! One of them slipped during the debate the other night, but his campaign is blaming a bad camera angle! http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/13/fashion/raising-eyebrows.html?scp=2&sq=eyebrow&st=cse

You forgot: Making the rich free from taxation.

So the dick size of your friends determines how exciting your evening is?

I can't get the "insert link" to work. But here is a funny dog video, recommended by me: http://sorisomail.com/email/74298/como-se-danca-o-merengue.html

Imagine all of the things that can go wrong in life. You're having great sex with the bf, and you whip out your favorite toy...then: "This may be one sexual encounter April Bonjour will never forget. She’s suing sex toy maker Pipedream Products after her vibrator made her bleed so much that she had to be rushed to the hospital. As she tells it in court papers filed in Siskiyou County, Bonjour and her boyfriend were enjoying a little hanky-panky. Then Bonjour felt what she described as an “intense, sharp pain in my vagina.” Her boo quickly removed the toy, which was covered in blood, Bonjour said. “I thought, very briefly, that I had started my period but as the bleeding continued getting heavier and heavier I knew it was not my period,” she wrote. Bonjour started to get faint and her boyfriend called 911. Her son woke up. “My son was terrified at the sight of me,” the Yreka woman wrote. “He thought I was dying (quite frankly so did I). Once we got to the hospital I had lost so much blood, I was given several pints of blood.” In her suit, Bonjour asks for compensation from Pipedream for her “emotional duress.” She said the company has denied previous requests. “It is for this reason I have initiated this lawsuit,” she said. Pipedream did not immediately respond to a request for comment." SFGATE.com, and no, they never say what actually caused the bleeding. ********** Not sure how old the son is, but I hope he has better memories of mom.

The former drug-addled Limelight nightclub, at 6th Avenue and 21st in New York, will soon become an IHOP. Yes, an IHOP. I have spent a few wonderful times there, in a state of shall we call it "gay grace" and could never see it as a pancake house. But, tis to be! <sigh>

What you said.

I am always embarrassed when I mispell a word in the title of the thread because it is one thing we cannot fix. I have to beg TY or OZ to correct it for me. Maybe they can change that so we can correct those boo-boos.

I know thread the thread is old, but I have a travel bug right now. Places that appeal to me are mostly in Europe- Paris, London theater, Venice, maybe Krakow, or Slovakia, somewhere where time has moved slowly. Copenhagen, but only in the spring. I have traveled a lot in Spain, but would love to do more. Also, closer to home, Mexico, going slowly throughout the countryside, ending at a beach resort after a few days in Mexico City. If I am still alive, I could go to Costa Rica, and then perhaps Colombia. Rio, sure, Buenos Aires, maybe again. Going to Asia, yes, Bangkok again, but then up to Laos and Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I would like to see Shanghai, but I think that is it. Africa does not beckon, even for the wilds of Kenya. The mideast is also of no interest, even Turkey. I can skip Australia, Iceland, the Poles, and anywhere in Russia. But, if I had to stay put, then New York is the place to be. Donations accepted.

I think it means that you did not get the job.

"Some people are upset because we're very observant and so dedicated to the cause." Say what? Who are these people? I want names! Who could possibly object to someone being too dedicated to the cause? Who could possibly object to someone being too observant? Heresy! The only objections I am aware of are people who post for the sake of posting, adding something even though they know nothing of the topic. I have too heard an objection or two towards those who post insipid comments that also add nothing to the thread. But, if they don't say it to your face, then don't assume it means you.

He's only been gone a week. Don't you ever have to be busy for a week and cannot post? Over at the other site you once wondered where someone went who had been gone only 3 days. Maybe we should make you the timekeeper.

She blamed the fart on him.

I believe that this might have been part of a whole dance video that he did shirtless. FOX stopped websites from using it, so I didn't get to see it. He sure can dance.

More likely put out to pasture.

Sorry, Charlie, but I am going to have to call you on that. Please cite the other thread. I went to your profile, clicked on find content, then saw the threads you participated in for the last year. This was the only one you had started since October 17, 2010. Virgins always like to claim some experience!
