Lucky

If the price is keeping you from getting the Helix, shop around. I got mine at a garage sale.

Totally Oz has his toys, I have mine. He'll forget all about that Ipod when he finds the REAL Playstation, which is the Aneros Helix. This super stimulating toy is the best of the Next-Gen models and designed for those who like an aggressive experience. It's Saturday night. Where' s your toypen? http://www.malegspot.com/default.php

Well, if it is a "set-up job" then no one should be taking delight in it despite any feelings towards the person arrested. A malfeasance of justice is bad for all of us no matter whom it affects the most directly. Even if not a set-up job, I am disturbed by how quickly we lose the presumption of innocence in these times. Having said all of that, I do understand that these matters notwithstanding many people have negative feelings towards Mr. Forest. And management here has not yet explained that very ODD posting in his defense. Are there separate rules for friends of David?

Good question, Townie.

March launch for Smith £20 note Adam Smith will have a new "see-through" feature! His exciting new look, shown here, will fatten the wallets of Brits everywhere! http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/spl/hi/po...10/img/laun.jpg A £20 note featuring economist Adam Smith will be issued on 13 March, the Bank of England has said. The note will also include a number of new security features designed to tackle counterfeiting. While the Bank has yet to reveal the safety measures, they are thought to include a see through feature and a holographic strip. The current £20 note, which features composer Edward Elgar, will be phased out after the launch of the Adams note. Enhanced security "The introduction of the Adam Smith £20 from 13 March will be a major undertaking for us as the £20 denomination is by far the most common note in circulation," said Andrew Bailey, the Bank's executive director for banking and chief cashier. "This means that the proportion of Adam Smith £20s will gradually increase over time. Smith will gradually replace Elgar on the £20 note "The note's enhanced security features will play a key role in our continuing fight to prevent counterfeiting. Maintaining public confidence in our banknotes is paramount." Bank governor Mervyn King announced in October last year that he had chosen Smith to replace Elgar on the £20 note. The decision is an historic one because the philosopher and economist will become the first Scotsman to appear on a Bank of England note. He is already featured on a Scottish £50 note. Smith was born in Kirkcaldy, Fife - part of Chancellor Gordon Brown's constituency. The economist is most famous for his book the Wealth of Nations, which many regard as almost inventing the concept of competition and market forces.

Congratulations, OZ. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience.

I used to stay at the Coffee Boy which had a great bar attached. The owner was pretty cool, or so I thought. He later made several adversaries and I never found out what that was all about. But I met my favorite Thai guy there. He came in as a customer, so I thought he wasn't available, I being new to Thailand. The next night I saw him dancing at another bar. He had already been offed but promised to wait for me the next night. Well, I forgot that you have to make your move without hesitation and while he was performing a sexy dance for me onstage, another customer offed him! So I had to wait yet another night, but it was worth the wait. When I came in I actually heard him telling a customer that he was taken already...hehehe, by me! We saw each other many times over many years.

Ditto to Boston Guy. This dastardly deed is sickening. I hope there is a way to track them down.

I helped him! I am the one who actually spoke to the boy, asked him his name and what he was up to, and introduced him to Towny. The rest of these guys got sudden onset of laryngitis! Scott, were you there this weekend? Sorry if I missed you, I would have said hello!!!!

Thanks for the info, tl. I guess it is a reminder to us not to jump to conclusions since these pix do get used by others.

Townie, your dumb friend was on again last night. He makes it clear that he has the favors and even gives his phone number. So, if CL is a hotbed of police, as some say, look for pinstripes soon!

I monitor the Palm Springs listings from time to time but have never bitten. I do wonder how stupid some of these people are: smoking and staying up late looking for company - 34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to: pers-274187252@craigslist.org Date: 2007-02-06, 2:00AM PST here partying looking for other like minded go fast men to pnp with at my place in south palm springs rick 760 four nine zero ****

Why bother? Why do people look for diamonds in manure fields?

Hopefully the police are working diilgently to find the killer. The most effective investigative techniques would not look first to long-ago encounters of the kind described in his reviews, but would look for more recent contacts, or situations where the reviewer clearly knew the suspect well. So, theoretically, riptide could be right, but practically speaking, there is little risk to previous clients. The reality is that many clients do not want to be exposed as such but there is a greater good to be accomplished here so their interests would have to go by the wayside. My guess is that any police investigation would be discreet as they are looking for information, not exposure. Personally, I would be glad to help if an escort I had hired turned out to be a murderer. Unless, of course, if he had murdered me, then I would hope that you guys would help!

"I have never been drunk once and I don't like any alcohol" And he doesn't watch porn, either...I wonder if that excludes the SuperBowl

As of 9 pm tonight, PDT: PENNSYLVANIA CRIME STOPPERS IS OFFERING A CASH REWARD OF UP TO $2,000.00 THAT LEADS TO AN ARREST IN THIS ARSON/HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION.

Well, good for you, Oz. Of course adult people should have the right to make decisions about their own behavior, and other people should have the right to profit from their stupidity. It's these profiteers who have drawn a line...all the way to the bank. So while the barebackers will end up counting their T-cells, the bareback promoters will end up counting their money, and everyone will live happily ever after, won't they? Just like cocaine dealers who are just giving people what they want...and they are...people that profit from human weakness only have to draw the line where their own conscience starts. As for me, the only line I draw is that I don't bareback. What other people do is obviously out of my control. As for my statement that you quote, yes, I would not want to associate with you if you were the owner of Cobra Video. That's my choice. You obviousy don't like porn, so you don't watch it. That doesn't make you any better or worse than anyone who does. And who is saying that people can't watch porn? Not me. But I don't have to associate with the Kocises of the world if I don't want to, and I don't. Except here, of course, where every kind of weirdo, including me, gets his say. In the end, we all go on with our lives and get a snicker out of the way someone responded to someone else. I do think that you are an upright guy, I just don't pat you on the back the same way that you do over the choices that you have made. Thanks, though, for giving me the forum to speak my piece. That I like!

As Jay Leno said last night, this scandal will be good for San Francisco as it proves there is straight life there! The mayor, who recently showed up drunk after a police shooting, was screwing his campaign manager's wife. She revealed this during her rehab process for substance abuse. Fun and games in SF...

Please note that Barry is speaking in response to post #49, not me!

Okay. I will withdraw my description of him as a predator. It is a moot point anyway.

Thank you for your warm thoughts. I never called you a pedophile lover, but if the shoe fits...You seem to have no trouble defending Kocis but can't find a good word to say about Ben or Scott. It's true that I had never heard of Kocis or his video company until now. Nothng I have heard has endeared me to the man or his work. Why you feel so strongly about this case is still a mystery. And how is that reward contribution coming? You didn't mention that. That you feel so strongly about what I think is amusing.

"I do not agree with your choice to refer to Bryan as a "predator" considering the man is deceased and was clearly a victim in his death. I doubt that we will see any association with his conviction and his murder. It also should be noted that the court agreed the minor lied to him about his age thus the non-sexual offender status. Hey some of the escorts who have profiles on this site concern me in regard to their age. But I have complete confidence that Tampa Yankee and Totally Oz do their best to weed out any that might not be legal. You also quoted the bareback producer part of the statement as reason to enough to refer tot he decease as a "predator." As you know there is nothing illegal about two adults in a consensual sexual agreement. Quite frankly if you truly believe so strongly that men like Bryan are so evil because they support and earn(ed) income from bareback sex then you really should not participate on this site. By your participation you're supporting the same type of act you claim to be so strongly opposed to. I do want to take a moment and apologize to you about my 9-11 remark. It was truly uncalled for and written at the heat of the moment." *** First of all, I accept your apology. Now I would like to address some of your other comments. In choosing to label the deceased as a predator, I relied on the information in riptide's link. Subsequently I have read an article about the conviction in a local newspaper. It does appear that he was not required to register as a sex offender as the case was pled down. But the fact is that he is on tape having sex with a fifteen year old. This Corrigan kid was also underage when he had sex and did a film for the deceased. At the very least, the deceased had a very bad ability to detect underage guys, but given his profession, I really doubt it. The predator label seems fine to me. I am opposed to barebacking. Recently a friend found out that he had 13 T-cells and PCP, only five years after he tested negative. Why? Because he got into barebacking. Read jason curious' blog where one boy tells about Ashton Ryan spreading HIV through barebacking and you only begin to see the damage it does to young lives. Certainly older guys can choose for themselves, but for a young guy to be offered money to bareback on film is the height of social irresponsibility and Kocis was that irresponsible, in my opinion. Now, how is my participation in this site a support of barebacking? Simply because Totally Oz owns a bareback web site does not bother me. Barebacking is happening whether I like it or not. This site itself does nothing to encourage it. IF I knew that Oz owned a video production company where barely legal guys were being encouraged to bareback, then, yes, I would stop posting here. But I don't think that is the fact as I have never seen anything to support it. I think Oz cares about the guys he works with and would not endanger them in such a way. Finally, riptide says he donated another $1000 to the existing $2000 reward forthe capture of Kocis' killer. Funny, the reward today is still $2000. (See Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers)

The link you provided from gaypornblog contains the quote I used in my post: Fri Jan-26-07 01:28 PM by Riptide If you've been following this very sick and twisted relationship between Brent Corrigan and cobra owner Bryan Kocis, and didn't think it could any more bizzare, you would have been wrong. Yikes!!! http://www.gaypornblog.com/archives/2007/0...o_own.html#more http://www.citizensvoice.com/site/news.cfm...id=455154&rfi=6

In order to have your character assasinated, you have to have character. Riptide's very first post in this thread contains this information about the deceased: "Kocis, a convicted child molester, was the owner of Cobra Video, a popular bareback twink studio" Enough said.

Your bizarre interest in this case is what is pathetic, along with your continual hammering of escorts Benjamin and Scott. What is your animosity towards escorts all about? Yet you are all worked up about the death of a predatory pedophile barebacker. The Palm Springs party will be quite fine without you, so don't bother to come. Just stay home and exhale.
