Forgive me, Mr. Blackwell . .

The first time I saw the Paterson skit, I thought it was funny. I like Fred Armeson, and his bumbling in front of the camera as he tried to get off stage was pretty good physical comedy. At the same time, I felt his one closed eye and one crossed eye was a bit much and might be offensive to those who have been personally touched by blindness. Most of us have the ability to laugh at the misfortunes of others, just as most of us have the ability to empathize and feel compassion. My understanding is that the Governor can and does laugh about his own blindness, but he doesn't laugh about the blindness of others. In fact, he's concerned about the inability of many blind people to get jobs that they are qualified to get. So he empathizes and takes their problems seriously, at the same time he jokes about his problems. I think the SNL Paterson skit gives us a chance to take a look at the balance between our schadenfreude and our compassion, and see how it changes as we have different life experiences and gain additional insights. In my opinion, that personal and public introspection is a good thing, so I wouldn't like to see the skit censored. But I could also see a more balanced skit with Jason Sudekis' Blagojevich giving Fred Armeson's Paterson tips on how get the most out of being governor: Now David, you always want to work with cash, so you're going to have to have somebody under the desk counting it for you. Someone you can trust. Someone like me. But Rod, I don't take bribes. Perfect! But you have to look the judge in the eye when you say that. At least with the good eye. But really Rod, I make enough as governor to live a very comfortable life. Why would I need to sell off a Senate seat? What would I spend all that money on? David, look at me. Who does your hair?

Joey would definitely make it into my Top Ten-and-a-Half! Thanks, Tomcal!

(Maybe I shoulda stuck this in the ad thread instead.) Make your next hire your best hire! Hear what the best reviewers on the web have to say at MaleEscortReview! "Bo was on time and hairy, just the way I like 'em! Beautiful hazel eyes, and a huge pink dick that he knew how to use. But he seemed distant, wouldn't kiss, and was definitely a clock watcher. Not for everyone." Me: Fun loving bottom who loves the big boys.

Count me in. I find the whole concept of idols and heros fascinating, in part because of the dynamics at work. First, there's the desire by many of us humans to have heros. We like to idolize other people: teachers, cheerleaders, clergy, politicians, millionaires, royalty, athletes, entertainers, and all sorts of celebrities and "beautiful people". Not only doesn't their shit stink, we don't even like to think they break wind. Of course, it's unrealistic to put any human being on a pedestal that high. When we eventually find out they are fallible, as all of us are, we are absolutely devastated as our belief system is shaken. Of course, others of us don't like the idea of heros at all. We're delighted when one of them makes a blunder, and can't wait to say "I told you so." Next, there are the heros themselves. Some really like the idea of being idolized, build their own pedestals, and climb over others to reach the top. They're happy to serve as an example of all that's right and good in the world, and won't acknowledge that they make the same mistakes everyone else does. They'll even be pleased to tell other people how they should live their lives. When one of these heros eventually gets found out, he's branded a hypocrite and lands with a thud. Other "heros" are reluctant. They get put on the pedestal by somebody else. Some are aware of what's happening, and refuse to act as a role model. But many are tempted to go along for the ride, without understanding what may happen when it's over. Then, there are those who have discovered the power and money available by creating (and sometimes destroying) heros. The church can dress somebody up in a robe, and make him a gatekeeper to heaven. The politicians can get an actor elected governor or president. Kellogg's can put an athlete's picture on a box, and sell lots of cornflakes. While I do believe there are plenty of people in this world who deserve our respect for one thing or another, I'm generally reluctant to turn them into heros and hold them up as role models for everyone and everything. I feel we're all humans, and we all make mistakes. Well, except for Gandhi and Mother Teresa and a few of my fellow posters here at MER.

I hope you also gave him your card and told him about the Winter Blues Give-A-Way contest here on MER! I could handle three posts a day from Zac between now and April Fools' Day. By the way, was his girlfriend the one in the picture below? She's Vanessa Hudgens, and has allegedly been dating His Hotness since they starred together in High School Musical. Generally, I'm not attracted to the ladies, but I think I'd make an exception for her.

Looks like it's all over without even a tokin' reprimand. Phelps Backed by Sponsors After Marijuana Photo Feb 2, 10:46 AM (ET) By ROB HARRIS MANCHESTER, England (AP) -Two of Michael Phelps' leading sponsors expressed support for the Olympic great Monday, a day after he apologized for being photographed in a British newspaper inhaling from a marijuana pipe. Luxury Swiss watchmaker Omega termed Phelps' actions a private matter and "nonissue." Swim wear manufacturer Speedo called the 23-year-old American a "valued member of the Speedo team." Perhaps the marketing whizzes at Speedo can even get some mileage out of this, maybe with a "Michael Phelps is a grower!" line. If the girls can do it, why not the boys?

Hadn't heard of it till now, but interest is sufficiently piqued to add an eight ball, six feet of catgut, and plenty of rosin to my play pack. If I can get Joshua Bell to agree on Flight of the Bumblebee, I'll definitely fling a post into the fetish forum.

Yesss!!!!!!!

Perhaps Daddy could add a Needle Exchange Forum where folks who like that sort of thing can go for that sort of thing.

Eureka! In another thread on login problems, TampaYankee suggested the user try clearing his cookies , and I wondered if that might also be a solution for the Safari-freeze problem. I use Safari with tabbed windows for about fifteen websites I visit regularly, and it's a bother to fire up Firefox for just the MER site. So the cookie trick seemed worth a try. Since I'm loathe to clear all my cookies, I tried offing the MER cookies one at a time. And the second one I tried did the trick: PHPSESSID. Before I deleted it, there was either a freeze or a long delay getting back from a post or from one forum to another. After I deleted it, I breezed from one post and one forum to another. For a while, anyway. Then I got another freeze. PHPSESSID was back in my cookie file again. When I deleted it again, no more freeze. For a while, anyway. I've repeated this procedure several times over the last couple of days, always with the same results: deleting the PHPSESSID cookie takes me from a freeze to a breeze. It's the electronic "Ram-Out" of which AdamSmith speaks so highly. So it looks like there's a specific cookie (PHPSESSID) on the MER site that Safari for Mac does not get along with over time. And Firefox doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Next I checked my Safari cookie file to see if the PHPSESSID was used on any other websites I frequent, and found there are seventeen others besides MER. But MER seems to be the only one that freezes. Still curious, I Googled PHPSESSID and found out that it's a session ID cookie that's used to track a visitor's movements on a website. One developers' website had this to say: Starting a Session When you start a session . . . , the following happens: • PHP checks whether a valid session ID exists. • If there is no session ID, PHP creates a new ID. • If a valid ID exists, the frozen variables of that session are reactivated and introduced back to the global namespace. (http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/1312) Not being very techie, that was just about enough for me for one day. Except I did another Google search and found that different browsers handle the PHPSESSID cookie in different ways. So it seems plausible to me that the way the MER site programmers are using the cookie, and the way Safari handles it, are out of synch. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I used to have the freeze-up problem on Flirt4Free and, when they re-did their site, the problem went away. I'm hoping that, when the MER site is re-programmed, the problem will go away here too. It would be interesting to see if anyone else using Mac Safari gets the same results from deleting the PHPSESSID cookie. If so, it may provide a lead for the programmers to figure out what's going on, and prevent it in the new software. In the meantime, I'm going to keep using Safari, and Ram Out the errant PHPSESSID cookie at least twice a day to keep my drains flowing freely. Little Sally will have to fend for herself.

I'd suggest telling the guy - before he arrives - that you're new to the area, and discovered your hotel may be in an "iffy" neighborhood, but it's clean and safe. If you tell him beforehand, then he'll be expecting what he finds. You may run the risk that he'll cancel, but it's probably better having that happen before he shows up, gets surprised, and turns tail. And not in the good way.

I met him on a website After I had cleared my cache. He's only got an hour tonight, So I shall have to dash!

I've noticed the same thing. But I can get in OK using Firefox instead of the Mac Safari browser. Recently cleared the Safari cache, and the problem hasn't shown up since. Safari also used to give me trouble on the Flirt4Free website, while Firefox worked fine. In fact, once I punched through to the site with Firefox, Safari would connect immediately and work fine, as if a drain had been unclogged. You might see what happens with another browser, and try clearing your cache. I'm hoping the problem with MER will disappear with the new software upgrade, as it did with Flirt4Free.

Gosh, fellas, let’s not shy away from gilding the lily a little. Remember it’s a pas de deux that we both do, and not much fun if it’s done by one. For me, there’s always been a certain symmetry to the dance between escort and client: Boyfriend experience: I only fly first class. I’ll treat you like a prince: Hamlet comes to mind. Cute bubble butt: Think Danny DeVito. Athletic build: Sumo’s a sport. Only one client a day: Unless somebody else calls. Loyal to my special guy: Nobody else returns my messages. Ninety-percent of my clients are repeaters: "I told you kissing's important!" My guys call me: "Don’t you ever contact me again!" Young movie star looks: Mason Reese. Mature movie star looks: Burl Ives. As long as we mirror one another’s steps, won’t we finish pretty even? Even if one of us is doing it backwards, and in high heels.

All right, here's some that have served me well. HWP: Think Divine. Thick dark hair: Ears and nose mostly. Generous and reliable: I've been paying for it since 1973. Friends consider me handsome: It says so in my yearbook. Successful executive: Have my own desk at work. Laid back: Check pulse every few minutes. Gregarious: Drunk. Looking for long-term arrangement: Rarely get a second chance. Sugar Daddy: Freezer full of Häagen-Dazs. Good physical shape: Oval. Attentive: Stalker. Fun loving: Sometimes forget to pay.

The cute young escort lay in bed looking up as his elderly client undressed and sat on the edge of the bed. The young man watched as the old gent slipped on a condom, stuffed a wad of cotton up each nostril, and put in an earplug. "What the heck are you doing?" asked the nervous young bottom. "Well," said the old bird, sliding in the second earplug, "at my age it takes me an awful long time to come, and I don't like hearing all the yelling, and I can't stand the smell of burning rubber."

If you put a value on your time, or moving from to , then the Mac might start looking like a better deal. It often surprises me when folks are willing to spend hours "upgrading" and cursing their Windows system because it's "cheaper" than a Mac. A friend of mine bought a $700 PC laptop for his parents last Christmas. He also offered to help them set it up, get it connected to the internet, and transfer their software from their old PC to their new PC laptop. I saw him when he was one week into the process, and he was bitching up a storm. He had spent at least ten hours getting almost everything to work, but he was still having trouble getting all their data transferred, and their email still wasn't working. He had spent the morning on hold with tech support, he was on his way to Radio Shack to buy a cable, and he was going to have to spend most of his weekend trying to get everything working. He was not a happy camper. We figured out he had saved almost $400 by not buying them a Mac laptop, but he would gladly have paid $400 to save himself the aggravation he had already gone through, and it wasn't over yet. Without rubbing it in, I told him what I had gone through when I bought my Mac laptop a couple of years ago. I turned it on, and it asked me a few easy questions, one of which was "Would you like to transfer information from another Apple Macintosh?" After I said yes, it told me to connect the two computers with a firewire cable, and to restart my old computer while holding down the "T" key. That set my old computer up as a target drive. Then my new computer asked me if I wanted to bring over everything from my old computer, or just certain applications and files. I told it "everything", gave it my password, and it told me it would take about an hour. When I came back and restarted my new laptop, it was the spitting image of my old desktop. Everything was there, my desktop wallpaper, my applications, my files, my old emails, my browser bookmarks and cookies, even my passwords. No more to do, and everything worked. A few months ago, my friend got an iPhone. His next computer will be a Mac. Me? I can't wait to see the new MacBooks!

I've been casting about for a robust yet stylish headband that would allow me to have a discrete Cialis IV drip installed when the time comes. This thread has got me rethinking my approach to the looming Golden Years.
