Lucky

Well, I guess I am just not a good businessman. When I heard about this, I ran out and bought all the Rush in town. I thought after posting this the value of the bottles would skyrocket. Now you say someone else is just going to come along and start up their own business. Drat. Hmmm...maybe I could go into the poppers business...

Yes? okay....I am all for it...

"It just so happens that our first report is going to shock, embarrass and probably humiliate a certain well known individual who posts on this, and of past of course, over at the Hooville forum. This is not of our making. It was of his doing. And still is for that matter." So it's not you spreading the shit, it's the person's own doing? And you are so honorable with your intentions that you, of course, will not hide, but state your own name? I can hardly wait a whole weekend to find out.

Aces, the title of your thread is redundant. Please avoid same in the future!

With the recent suicide of Joe Miller, owner of the company that produces most of the poppers on the market, the company has now closed. The blog thisisfyf.com reports: According to a local video-shop professional, the company that makes Rush poppers has gone out of business. An FYF friend (really, it's not me) just texted me the news and followed with a confirmation: My friendly porno video guy just told me. I just got the last bottle! Not the best poppers, but it's an end of an icon. Once home, a quick check of sites that were part of the Rush trade dress (neverfakeit.com, sellrush.com and rushliquidinsense.com) showed all to have had their websites shuttered. Not wanting to cause a "rush" on the product based on false information, more research was done. * That caped man on the back of every bottle is Captain Rush. His website is also closed now. * Pac West Distributing (PWD), the company that manufactures and distributes Rush has also shuttered its website. * The websites closed within the last week as both the Rush and Captain Rush sites were up and running on August 19, according to the Google cache. The evidence seems to say that Rush is out of business. Captain Rush PS - If you're going to run out and buy Rush popper tonight (while supplies last), note that there are bootleg products on the market. You can verify the authenticity by finding "PWD" in the glass at the bottom, "Captain Rush" on the back of the bottle, and "neverfakeit.com" on the bottle seal at the top. UPDATE 8/31: Rumors swirl around the closing of the company with rumors of federal raids. More seriously though, the company's owner committed suicide.

If I see things that have not arisen...like my cock? (I was gonna say Jesus, but decided the joke would be too controversial!)

Hooboy wrote me once that his big regret was never meeting Lukas Ridgeston!

From the local paper, the Desert Sun: LOS ANGELES — The owner of an RV dealership sued by Taylor Lautner over a customized vehicle challenged the “Twilight” star Monday to use his muscles instead of his lawyers to resolve the case. Quantcast Brent McMahon, who owns McMahon's RV in Irvine, offered to compete in a push-up contest to settle the breach-of- contract lawsuit that Lautner filed Aug. 23 claiming the dealership failed to deliver a $300,000 RV on time for use as a dressing room on the set of the actor's latest film. McMahon and his attorney denied wrongdoing and said they will vigorously defend the case in court if Lautner, 18, doesn't accept the challenge. The dealership said Lautner's camp had sought a $40,000 settlement to resolve the case, leading to the unorthodox proposal by McMahon. The 47-year-old businessman said if he won the contest, he would donate the settlement money to Children's Hospital of Orange County. Lautner's attorney Robert Barta declined comment, citing the pending lawsuit. Lautner's lawsuit claimed McMahon's failed to complete the customized RV on time, and it needed additional work after it was delivered. It was unclear what upgrades Lautner sought. McMahon said the vehicle was given a custom paint job. Lautner gained fame for his role in the “Twilight” movie series and will reprise his role in the “Twilight” finale.

Lukas was lookin a little younger then! He still a handsome guy, or was when I met him a few years ago: The next photo in the queue is me with my arm around him. But you just want to see Lukas, right?

Lukas was lookin a little younger then! He still a handsome guy, or was when I met him a few years ago: Sorry for the double post. I didn't know you had to click "attach"

They are impressive stats. Everyone- take a bow!

After sleeping with both Johann Paulik and Lukas Ridgeston one night, I decided that I must be Lucky- after all, they were the two hottest porn stars at the time! Now when I say sleep with, what the fact is that we did sleep together. I was in one row on the plane, and they were in another. And, if you are wondering how they look in the morning after a red-eye flight, well, the answer is scrumptious!

StuCotts was last active, at least under that name, on July 31st. Maybe in real life he is a shrink who takes August off from work? I am sure we will be thrilled to see him posting again.

It looks like Calvin had to clean this guy up a bit from his old porn star days! http://gawker.com/5626955/calvin-kleins-underwear-model-boyfriend-also-did-some-gay-porn

And, at this rate, nothing will...

Lucky Calvin. I hope nothing gets between him and his boy toy: More at Gawker.com: http://gawker.com/5625681/the-revealing-pictures-of-calvin-kleins-new-boyfriend-the-20+year+old-underwear-model

Here we are, sitting down at the computer on the 31st of August, I think a bit pleased with ourselves for the fact that we DID accept the Challenge and we DID follow through with more posts than this place has seen in some time. And they were pretty good posts too. Some threads hit double and triple pages, and we even brought some new guys into the posting fold. So what now? Do we give up? Go back to out old ways? I doubt it. I think we all like having a more enthused message center to come to, more and more times each day. What worked best? Responses, responses, responses. We can't get conversations going if we don't respond to the threads that others put up. It's still a challenge to use some discretion- to avoid overloading the front pages with new threads by one person. Too much of that and the conversations we do have going get kicked back to the second page, and those following them may never pick up the thread again. My personal thanks to all for a good month. We don't need Viagra- we can keep it up!

Not much this month from Townsend Locke or even buddy2, who accepted the August Challenge. When we don't hear from guys, we wonder if everything is okay. So drop in now and then and let us know, okay?

Oz, the ass is built on stretchers,just like a vagina. You see those big babies coming out? Well, sometime the ass needs room for a wide-load as well. This is when the stretcher mechanism so wisely designed by Mother Nature comes into play. The sad fact is that most men, even gay men, do not know how to employ their body's own anal stretchers. That's where poppers come in. Poppers help you relax at the moment of penetration, allowing the stretchers to do their job, move aside, open up,and swallow the engorged object seeking to penetrate you. It's as simple as that. With practice, men can expand on their own without poppers. In a nutshell, forget the crap about stretchers. Poppers simply help you relax at a time when most men tighten up.

Did I get the color right?

Inhaling, or, taking a hit of poppers brings a rush of blood to the head, which lends to a few moments of feeling high. If you do this while dancing, a speed effect takes place. Do it while getting fucked, and you ass opens just the way the dentist wants it to, and take a hit when coming and your world explodes.

The issue of poppers and health is pretty important, and the controversy has been longstanding. Gay publications also made a fortune from popper advertising, so they wanted no criticism of it. How could so many gay men like something that was so bad for them? A new concept, eh? Read this review of poppers in Drummer Magazine. The magazine was then sold, and a new article appeared, denying the validity of the poppers criticism. It all depended on who owned the magazine, not the facts. Bruce Voeller, who wrote the second, favorable, article, was a buddy of Joe Miller. Voeller died of AIDS. http://paganpressbooks.com/jpl/DRUMMERH.HTM (For me, the whole controversy has been fascinating as I knew some of the players on each side of the issue, and I also had liked poppers. I never thought that they caused AIDS, but can't say that they are good for you, either. It's the politics of it all that fascinates me, with so much money involved, and, of course, gay men and their pleasures.)

The death of poppers king Joe Miller last week, apparently a suicide, has the media and politicians in Indiana struggling to determine how best to handle it. Miller owned Great Lakes Products, producers of various brands of poppers, and reportedly made hundreds of millions in the process. He established a foundation that gave huge amounts of money to Democratic politicians, and purported to care about people with HIV and AIDS. Yet poppers themselves may have had a great contribution to health problems and death rates, both from AIDS and the combination of Viagra type drugs. So was Miller a gay philanthropist, or a death monger? His controversial personal life also made many skitterish of associating with Miller, who was once arrested on child molestation charges only to see them dropped when the victims refused to testify. Miller's strong personality and looseness with the truth aggravated others as well. He began his poppers career by selling bottles of Rush at the gay night club in Indianapolis. The later in the evening, the higher the price, with a bottle going for $25 at 2 am. Soon after he was bottling nitrates in his bathtub with his partner, who also was a suicide years ago. Miller went on to enormous riches. Read more: http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/

One of the reasons I went to San Diego was to see this show at The Old Globe Theater in Balboa Park (where parking on a summer Saturday night is virtually impossible to find!) Seeing the words "Broadway Bound" at first seemed to be a promising thought, one speaking well of the show. A while later it seemed more of a reminder to the audience that this is really a good show despite what you are seeing- after all, it is Broadway bound! The opening was so cloyingly obnoxious, and the cast so anxious to get their gold star for cuteness, that I nearly reached for the air-sickness bag. (The worst scene in the show was an airplane scene.) There were several bad numbers, several rip-offs of other shows, but, there were three great numbers, and the lead couple was sensational. So how to get rid of the bad stuff before a Broadway run is someone else's problem, but there is promising material there. The best part of the show, one that had the crowd excited out of their seats, was a dance number by the Seven Hoods. No fey chorus boys, these guys were all muscular and stocky, masculine enough to be believed as hoods. They danced an astonishing number reminiscent of the crapshooters dance in Guys & Dolls, which ranks as my favorite Broadway dance number.
