STIRRING popping running...gosh, grandma, I learned it all from you!

Who says there is something wrong? These are important posts, as Larsy will be the first to tell you.

Fellow posters, here is a post by Lartrup, not to be underestimated! It is important! Larstrup Prodigious Member Members 974 962 posts Report post Posted yesterday at 12:09 PM This may just be a temporary glitch in the new software, but suddenly I'm getting a live video-feed into @Adamsmith 's bathroom. He doesn't necessarily look like he's experiencing any type of bowel elimination distress, yet I'm still concerned anyway.

I just said that Larsy was being pompous when taking it upon himself to inform the rest of that the Politics forum is so important. It consists mostly of posts from Suckrates, Larstrup, the ditto girl, and Adam Smith. They might as well tell us how artistic their thread The Organ is. Perhaps it should be in a museum! If the fate of Donald Trump relies on the importance of the Politics forum, well, he's here to stay!

LOL...when it suits Sucky's purpose, he spouts this. Otherwise, it's this: " Larsy, you expect way too much from the members of this site. If it isnt about sex and picking up "garotos" in an Asian or South American hustler club, they just aint interested. and I even wonder if most that participate in THOSE forums are even American Citizens ? I suspect not, so why should they care ? Only the really enlightened know that Trump is a WORLD problem and not just an American one. "

Really? I thought it might be that thread about Adam Smith's bowel movements. Or the totally incomprehensible thread you insist on propagating called The Organ. And it is pretty arrogant, not to mention ludicrous, for you in all your pomposity to state that this forum-politics- is so important especially now. No, it isn't. The NY Times might be, or the Washington Post...

" But the real news about this presidency is happening there and it’s an important forum to visit and participate in right now. " Wow! Right here? On Boytoy? Does Robert Mueller know? Someone should let him in on this. And it's a real tribute to Suckrates, who is the mainstay of the Politics forum. Wonder whether he knows Trump personally...?

Rockhard, you have two people here who are not fans of yours. That would be Suckrates and his hanger-on, Ms Ann. Consider that Suckrates calls himself "Grandma" and Ms Ann, of course, refers to himself as "Ms." Are you really going to let these wannabe women stop you from posting? If so, it gives new meaning to the term pussy-whipped!

I like seeing latbear4blk shining some civility in these tirade threads. He has a lot to offer the site and we would all be wise to encourage him. Suckrates is the most prolific contributor here. For all of his caustic posts, he adds many more hot shots of hot men. I like seeing them. Adam Smith is to be admired for standing up for RockHard at a time when RH is being castigated. I also admired his rejection of offers to petition the other site to allow his return there. And then there's Rocky. Sadly, my April check has yet to arrive, so I have nothing to add for now.

It's reviewed in Sunday's NY Times book review: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/04/books/review/alan-hollinghurst-sparsholt-affair.html?emc=edit_bk_20180504&nl=book-review&nl_art=&nlid=61144114edit_bk_20180504&ref=headline&te=1 “The source of the shadow moved slowly into view, a figure in a gleaming singlet, steadily lifting and lowering a pair of hand-weights.” At first, no one knows the young Adonis’s name, but his physique alone is enough to make one of the group, Evert Dax, fall madly in love with him."

No one gives RockHard's posts more attention than Suckrates. Now Ms Ann wants in on it. Is that because Suckrates is paid to publicize Rockie's posts? There must be money in it or he wouldn't waste his time! Suckrates works for RockHard? Now that's news! It's a noble calling.

More on 1968... https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2018/apr/30/time-for-a-riot-how-the-art-of-1968-caught-a-world-in-turmoil

She has fared well in the reviews. It's too bad that she cannot be the undisputed star of the show. The only other nominee I recognize in that category is Daphne Rubin-Vega, who was so good in Rent.

Things are fine here. I logged in the same as always, no delay. Keep it up, Oz!

The show is doing well at the box office, although the reviews might have an impact on future sales.

Interesting article in today's Guardian about the rise of the Continental Baths in New York in 1968. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/apr/27/sex-disco-and-fish-on-acid-how-continental-baths-became-the-worlds-most-influential-gay-club

I am so out of the loop. I didn't know that Riobard was Bobbalino! Is he?

A favela tour can be quite educational. We talk about the poor and even offer sympathy and money. But rarely do we see life from their view. I was amazed at what I saw and learned on a tour a few years back. I agree that if you are treating it like visiting a petting zoo then it is not a good idea. But go with a desire to know more, even if just about where many of the garotos live. But I took a small tour led by a private guide. It was very much worth my time.

I was so busy cooking the dinner...

Funny story about the deviled eggs. Oliver came over for dinner the other night, and I had bought some deviled eggs at the store. I was going to serve them and tell Oliver that Epigonos had sent them over for our dinner. But, being an old fart, I totally forgot about them once Oliver arrived. It was only after he left that i remembered the little joke i had planned.

OneFinger, the Donna Summer musical opened in New York last night, and I was curious as to how the professional critics reacted. The NY Post gave it one star, saying it is "not hot stuff." https://nypost.com/2018/04/23/looking-for-some-hot-stuff-dont-see-the-new-donna-summer-musical/ The NY Daily News didn't like it either. They say "it drops the disco ball." http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/theater-arts/summer-review-donna-summer-biomusical-drops-disco-ball-article-1.3949934 The NY Times says that "Hot stuff turns cold." It's "the cockroach of Broadway," the Times says. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/23/theater/review-summer-the-donna-summer-musical-broadway.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Ftheater&action=click&contentCollection=theater&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=sectionfront So what are we to make of the ad for the show that quotes the Hollywood Reporter calling it "pure bliss." I read that review, which was for the La Jolla production, and the Reporter didn't like it either. The "pure bliss" line was for one scene in the show, not the entire show. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/summer-donna-summer-musical-theater-1060604 Of the new show in New York, the Reporter says " this tacky little show, a feebly dramatized Wikipedia page with lackluster covers, which was rushed to Broadway following a fall tryout at La Jolla Playhouse that received mostly tepid reviews. And yet it shows no sign of improvements having been attempted. Heaven knows it's not the way it should be. " The pure bliss quote is renamed " jolt of bliss" to make sure we don't think it applies to the entire show! https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/summer-donna-summer-musical-theater-review-1105049 So, we figured that the show needed work before it hit New York. It didn't get any. Donna Summer is as shortchanged in this show as her gay fans are. "The cockroach of Broadway>" I doubt they will put that in the ad!

Thanks for the explanations, guys.

Grandma, I have no interest in posting at the other site or schmoozing with the owner of it.

I am told that no social formalities were observed, so it is interesting to note this new post over there from Oliver as he sets the dates for the next event: Hi CS - we would welcome you to the events and you may certainly bring a guest, as long as you have informed me beforehand. In addition to needing to know how many people for the restaurants, and for my chef de cuisine, Epigonos, I must know who will be in my home, as I'm sure you understand. This year I was taken aback by having some people I didn't know about show up at my home on Sunday afternoon. Someone had apparently give them an invitation without clearing it with me. There were a couple who attended that I had been asked about in a polite manner prior to the gathering and I was happy to meet them. Back to Lucky writing: Years ago an escort wanted to bring a guest who did not post. We said that the party is a private on for the members of the message board, so the guy registered and posted. It isn't required any more that the guest be a poster. With all the new rules introduced at the other site this week, perhaps the need to follow rules will rub off on the guy who let these three intruders attend. I am told that one of the intruders returned to Oliver's house on Monday morning and knocked on Oliver's bedroom door- he and his date were still in bed!- so he could arrange a date with Oliver's date. The nerve of doing something so intrusive is astounding.
