This thread started on November 9th, and you are just now coming up with a date for the event. This morning I gave up on this and purchased tickets to the Palm Springs Film Festival instead.

Jason Carter will be in LA from the 12th to the 15th, so why not plan around that?

Apparently management wants a photo of some sort to go with your profile. It could be a photo, or it could be an avatar.

The first time I saw Avatar, I really enjoyed it. The second time I saw it? I really enjoyed it.

hehe- it didn't take much to get you awake, and with two new threads to boot! So how do we get reputation improved?

Recently I visited the gay travel Brazil website and enjoyed many of the features. I suggest taking a look at their forums and trying to contribute. You get to see a lot of pix of hot guys, for one. I just watched an exciting video of a very cute stripper. You can learn more about Brazil and share ideas with others who have been there. Not to mention the help you can get to book your trip. So take a look...now! www.gaytravelbrazil.com (And don't miss this thread: Gay Travel Brazil » The Beach » General Discussion » Ipanema beach boy) Registration required, but it's easy to do.

I was wondering what had happened that Townsend P. Locke, surely one of my favorite MER posters,had been up to lately. So I checked to see when his last post was, two weeks ago, and then saw this: Icon TownsendPLocke's Photo Joined: 08-August 06 Group: Members Posts: 750 Views: 300 Reputation: 0 Please Note MY Exception to This! Surely Townsend has a better reputation here than zero!!!!

Okay, it's two weeks later. I am going to assume that Oz did not go to Mexico.

Senior posters also qualify for the senior discount at most saunas. Be sure to ask!

Just in time for the holidays, there is a new video game wherein the player can choose at some point to have gay sex with an elf. Calm down, the game is available right now. Read more: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/05/arts/television/05dragon.html?_r=1&ref=arts

Adam, do you only pay lip service to World Toilet Day or do you really get out there and celebrate?

If you will recall, thousands upon thousands of our fellow gay men had their lives taken by an unknown virus. They were guys just like you and me who enjoyed their gay world, enjoyed their new liberties, and suffered the consequences of HIV. I wish they were still here, but the least we can do is not forget them.

I can't remember ever reading a sauna review which focused on the skin tones of the working guys.

This week is Latin Fever in Puerto Vallarta, and along with the usual guys there was an influx of party boys. So I had a good opportunity at the beach to see all of their tattoos. I should preface by saying that it has taken me a long time to accept the current tattoo rage. But I have learned to see good tattoos as an extension of a cute guy's sexuality. Yet my beach experience shows that too many guys waste what is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity to decorate that section of skin. At the beach I saw so many bad tattoos. You wonder- what's this guy thinking? Some look like prison tattoos they are so cheap. What's with painting your body with stars? That didn't turn me on. I guess ultimately it depends on how attractive you think the guy is. Then whatever tattoos he has become more acceptable.

Oz, did you ever go to PV? Maybe you wrote about it somewhere else. I just spent a few days there, and although I had a good time, it is a beach resort and not a hotspot like Sao Paolo or even Rio, which has much more than a beach. Anyway, if you went, let's compare notes.

Hey, how did you do that? At the bottom of the page your name does not show as a user!

Noting that 12 of the 13 threads at the top of the menu were started by one poster, I first give him credit for trying to get something going, and I second wonder why more don't start threads of interest. The forum can't be all Oz all the time...unless it is Totally Oz, of course.

Where did Townie tell you to go?

The Palace Churrascaria is very good and rather upscale. It's on the street north of the Copacabana Palace.

As a former practicing attorney, my instinct is to defend the guy who is down. I don't believe in piling on when a guy has enough trouble already. The idea that you have to post anonymously because the DA might be reading the blogs- highly unlikely in my opinion- is just a cop out. Either you have the courage of your convictions or you don't. As for these guys who bought drugs and then attack the dealer, well, there but for the grace of God go you. If you had been the one arrested, you'd want support from people, not a free for all of anonymous backstabbing. All said, I am sure that the justice system will deal accordingly with the facts before it. So why all of the extra attempts to dump on Scott, I just don't know.

The New York Times revealed today that the federal government has not punished marijuana smugglers from Mexico as long as they smuggled lass than 500 TONS of marijuana. All at the same time they were going after small time pot smokers.

I am not sure why these websites about Scott come and go, but one thing is consistent with each of them: Anonymous posters. What is it that makes these guys afraid to show their names?

Oz-"Hey, we don't beg for money. We have ads and memberships. The ads vanish with a paid membership. We have to make ends meet someway and I prefer not to ask for donations. I just find that bad taste. " I am not sure if there is much difference in asking for a membership fee or asking for a donation. Either way you are helping the website stay alive. My donation to Daddy amounted to $1 for each month that I have used the website. I am not sure what your membership fee would have been for those months, but I doubt it would be less.

Ty, I laughed the first time I read this, and then again the second time. Let it not be said that we are without humor at MER. On how many websites do we even know who the owner is? For me, it's two, This one and the other one. In the other cases, we don't seem to care who owns the site. But, for some reason, the owner of these sites is much more conspicuous. If I never knew who the owner was, I wouldn't even attempt to help direct the way the site is run. I would just take it or leave it. That's a pretty passive reaction. I wonder if there's a support group for that. For some reason, these community forums have become more personal. Personalities are much more important in the success of the site. Tell me where we find the perfect personality and I will show you a fraud. Just like families, there is constant re-working of relationships, arguments, good times and bad times. We stick them out because we want to participate in the life of the family. Once we decide we don't want to participate, then we stop the effort to improve the relationships. I haven't come to that point. These sites provide me entertainment and often friendship, and until they don't, I'll keep trying to improve them to the extent that I can. Over time I have come to like the owners, both of them. So shoot me if I don't hold grudges (for long!) after a fight.
