Sometimes I post something that I don't expect much result from, but sometimes I hope that others will share the enjoyment I had when, for example, I saw this funny and sexy video. I really liked it, but apparently it leaves others cold. Can you explain why if that was your reaction? Thanks.

Which leads to the question- how did you like the novel as a whole? I reviewed it: There is an element of disappointment in my reaction to The Sparsholt Affair.In my mind, the author did not bite off enough. He seems to have held back on the story, especially n the Sparsholt affair itself. At times the novel is captivating, at times quite dull. There are small points where it is confusing. I liked the beginning, where David Sparsholt is admired at Oxford. The tale goes on less convincingly. It hardly seems right that the father would not talk to the son about personal matters. So much communication did not happen. The lesbians seemed forced into the story. Daughter Lucy added nothing. Evert Dax and his cronies were both intriguing and boring, just not at the same time! Finally, son Johnny is left to shoulder the story. We hear that he married, but that section of his life is not in the story. Could not father and son bond at Johnny's loss of his husband? Why didn't they? We are left to feel that the subject of the Sparsholt Affair ended up cold and bitter. Not satisfying to me, but the author seems okay with it.

I thought it was interesting but not funny.

I guess this shows that I didn't do my homework. I didn't need to start a new thread on Colombia, this one would do. Sorry for not doing some research first, guys.

I read The Sparsholt Affair and am struggling to relate your post to my recollection. Are you referring to the novel as a whole or to one of the periods of the novel?

I agree that it may have been necessary to get those screaming teen girls in to see it.

I saw the movie and am interested in knowing why you think it is a great movie.

Stereotypes! You should know better! Dim Sum, incidentally, is of Cantonese origin. Guys on gaythailand.com might like it, but they wouldn't expect a get-together in Boise, Idaho to be about it.

His before pic is in the first post! You seem to like the thread, so it's okay to "like" my post! Peter O' Toole and Brahim Haggiag are deceased, so I didn't think a later pic of them would be in good taste. Am I wrong?

Snooty is not appealing, young or old.

Leonard Whiting (Romeo) is now 67.

Relax, mvan, I was just kidding!

OneFInger, you are welcome!

50 years later, the Los Angeles Times today does a retrospective of the year 1968. What I remember is the assassinations, the police brutality at the Democratic Convention, the advent of hippies, and the last of the real idealists who supported McCarthy for President. But for Boytoy, why not remember the cute actors pictured in the Times piece? A big movie that year was Romeo and Juliet. Here we see very cute Leonard Whiting... Some might have liked Brahim Hagglag in The Battle of Algiers. Peter O'Toole in The Lion in Winter... Well, okay, there weren't likely any big Asian actors in 1968, but this guy would have won my heart! Manish Dayal... Now how many actors from 1968 did you lust for? (You had to be alive then to make a suggestion!)

But, if you didn't swallow, was there no credit for the sucking? I mean servicing! What if the guy with the huge tool couldn't stay hard? Who was that blamed on? I've always thought that they should have given credit for rimming, too.

With the dates for the 2019 Weekend now set, I will plan ahead. My regret this year was not meeting LoveNDino. I was wondering who the man is behind his posts. But mark your calendars for April 13 and 14. Boytoy posters are invited too. That's Palm Springs, California, not to be confused with Palm Desert.

I did check them, but GayThailand members had already reserved it for their event.

Who is Oscar Wilde?

Absolutely! I would love to post every detail here and have you guys admire my wisdom, my choices, the guys I went with, and even my choice of venue! My report will be so popular that even Badboy will rave about it. However, it does look like Colombia will not be this year as I am booked with several other trips, including Brazil Merida will also have to wait...until I get invited! (Post is written with tongue in cheek. But yes, I would share!)

If I was a garoto I would demand that the session take place at a fancy hotel...in the lobby!

Gay Thailand seems so civilized, I cannot imagine the members all being crazy. But then, it doesn't take many! Right now it looks like Boise is the leading site for the Weekend...IF, and that's a big if, the local Waffle House can free up space for us. All other restaurants turned us down! Was it something Suckrates said?

Since get-togethers among forum members are the topic ju jour, I was thinking what a hit Oz would have on his hands if he invited us all to Bangkok, where he lives, for a Bangkok Boytoy Weekend! We could all fly over there and pick up a date for the event. Oz could add to it by inviting all of the guys he has hired in Thailand to entertain us. The popular Bangkok street food would do for the eats part. But, you say- Bangkok is too far away! So why not a Brazilian Boytoy Weekend, where Oz would join us in Brazil with all of the garotos he has hired? Still too far away? Okay, in the interests of getting this thing off the ground, I suggest the Boise Boytoy Weekend, where there would be no locals hired by Oz, but we could ask the famous Boys of Boise to join in- if they can get a pass from the nursing home!

Interesting article in today's Amazon-owned Washington Post on the dilemma facing Amazon as it chooses a new site. Progressive places that enforce equal rights for gays, or a place less progressive (if at all) but with lower taxes: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/the-unspoken-factor-in-amazons-search-for-a-new-home-jeff-bezoss-support-for-gay-rights/2018/04/20/9cfa8c66-31e6-11e8-8bdd-cdb33a5eef83_story.html?utm_term=.6ea43620ecee

What else would you post about, knowing how limited your time for the board is!
