Yes, this one is going to make me buy a new laptop.

You may very well be right. It will be interesting to see if the Senate Ethics Committee builds a mock-up of the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport stalls, just to show how it’s done. I’ve been practicing my footwork, in case they need an expert witness. http://apnews.excite.com/article/20071004/D8S2LR3O0.html Craig Vows to Stay Despite Court Loss Oct 4, 5:37 PM (ET) WASHINGTON (AP) - Idaho Sen. Larry Craig defiantly vowed to serve out his term in office on Thursday despite losing a court attempt to rescind his guilty plea in a men's room sex sting. "I have seen that it is possible for me to work here effectively," Craig said in a written statement certain to disappoint fellow Republicans who have long urged him to step down. . . . Craig's decision to stay and fight raises the strong possibility of public hearings - virtually certain to be televised live - centered on the issue of gay sex. . . . Craig says his actions in the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport bathroom June 11 were misconstrued by the police officer who arrested him. The officer said Craig had looked into his bathroom stall, and tapped his foot and moved his hand under the divider in a way that suggested he was looking for a sexual partner. Craig denied that in an interview with the officer after his arrest. . . .

Innocent, maybe. Little, perhaps. But a prettier one I've never seen. You have a gift, mister!

A classic closet tearoom queen Is seldom heard and rarely seen. She’ll never show her arm or leg, Or tap her foot like Larry Craig. She sits quite still upon the throne, And marks the time she’s all alone. But once you flash your nine-inch bat, She’s on her knees in seconds flat.

Charmin' !

Maybe I’ll take a heaping helping of poo for saying this, but I think that most of us humans reach enlightenment a step at a time. I’m sure no fan of O’Reilly, but if he was awakened to the fact that a “black†Harlem restaurant is every bit as nice as his favorite “white†suburban restaurant, that seems like a good thing to me. Granted, he's fifty years late to the party, but he did show up and may be figuring out how to have a good time. Much as Sylvia and I may mourn his ignorance today, I will take some pleasure if he’s a smarter guy tomorrow. Now if he’d just keep his mouth shut until he gets there.

That sure is an interesting article. You just never know who's really behind the image.

Rio de Janeiro! He’s in a thread that TotallyOz posted in the Pub a couple of days ago. (Obrigado!) http://www.maleescortreview.com/forum/inde...?showtopic=1744 Apparently he works for an agency in Brazil. http://www.topboysrio.com/topboys/ You’ll have to scroll part way down the page to find him, but it’s a very enjoyable trip! Where do they get all these hot guys?!

And who better than Kaique to come and demonstrate the various Member Levels: Curious Member Dangling Member Aroused Member Tumescent Member Esteemed Member Prodigious Member Olympian Member

Obrigado! Story of my life . . . But one more post and I’ll be a Dangling Member. Me too, and his name is Kaique! Talk about a Dangling Member! Woof!

Is it possible to add back the word “Member†to the descriptions? If there’s room, “Olympian Member†just sounds funnier to me than simply “Olympianâ€, and it might make more sense to those who have not read through this thread. Thanks! PS: If you agree, there's no rush at all. Your humanitarian work among the Cariocas of the Rio saunas must not be interrupted or delayed. Too much may be riding on it.

Ha! I notice that you are yourself just one post away from "Tumescent Member". Any plans for celebrating? If you were with TotallyOz in Rio right now, you could celebrate with the young man in the photo. According to the "Top Boys Rio" website, his name is Kaique, and he also does a very nice "Prodigious Member". Wish it were mine.

Well you just know there's a back story to that ad! And once you've got a line with "titillating" in it, the rest just flows.

Excellent! Olympian is inspired! I know what you mean about Tumescent. It is a long, hard word, and probably brings up different images for different people. Here's what comes up for me:

I knew you'd have the answer AdamSmith! What honorific do you think would best bridge the gap between Tumescent Member and Prodigious Member? I think I recall Andre passing through that state briefly, but words failed me at the time.

At the base of the obelisk, way down low, Stand a couple little girlies with a titillating glow. All the hotties look away, as they hide their swollen dicks, ‘Cause they know that later on they’ll be one anothers’ tricks.

I see what you mean, and it's driving me back toward Turgid Member. Maybe I'll do some research over the long weekend and see if anything else springs to mind.

According to Wikipedia, statues of Priapus, in full rampant splendor, were used in Roman gardens to promote an abundant crop, and to guard against thieves. Epigrams were included, so that would-be robbers didn’t miss the point: "I warn you, my lad, you will be sodomised; you, my girl, I shall futter; for the thief who is bearded, a third punishment remains." "... If I do seize you . . . you shall be so stretched that you will think your anus never had any wrinkles." And to think I've been getting by with just a sundial!

I don't know if this is a serious obsession, or just a casual one, but I think it would be nice to celebrate our most steadfast contributors with fitting honorifics. I recently was graduated from a plain old "Member" to an "Advanced Member", and don't think the champagne didn't flow! It took 30 posts to get there and now all I can think of is what's the next mountain to climb, and what lies at the summit? I guess I've been talked out of "Turgid Member", but what about "Tumescent Member"? Or, dare I dream, "Prodigious Member"? OK, I'll say it, here's what would launch a plethora of posts from yours truly, and settle the question of obsession once and for all: 1. New to 99 posts - Dangling Member 2. 99-250 posts - Aroused Member 3. 251-500 posts - Tumescent Member 4. 501-750 posts - Esteemed Member 5. Over 751 posts - Prodigious Member

Priapus, the God of the phallus and male sexuality, weighs his prodigious member. This is from a painted wall at the House of the Vettii, in Pompeii. (The culture of Pompeii was abruptly ended in 79 A.D. by an eruption of mount Vesuvius.) He must have been very popular. I wonder if he ever escorted. He would have been a top, surely, and may have charged by the pound.

Good distinction. Thanks for the insight.

Hypocrisy is a very interesting subject for me. I can’t recall the last time I heard anyone admit to being a hypocrite. But it’s very common to hear people say of others, “Oh, they’re all a bunch of hypocrites!†Makes me wonder how there can be so many hypocrites, and yet so few owning up to being one. The only two explanations I can think of so far are (1) a person is pretty much incapable of seeing his own hypocrisy, and/or (2) he’s being a hypocrite about his hypocrisy. Like you, I don’t judge the Senator’s toe tapping, although I am very tempted to judge his hypocrisy. Then I recall that the downside of judging others is that the tables may get turned one day, and I will be the one getting judged. With all the scandals in the news these days, I’ve been thinking a lot about hypocrisy, and especially with regard to any hypocritical viewpoints or actions of my own. I try to make sure that I’m not a hypocrite, since I dislike hypocrisy in others. But how do I know if I’ve rooted out all of my own hypocrisy? And, until I can be sure, should I really be judging hypocrisy in others? It’s making me nuts. I just sit on the throne some days, tapping my foot.

I loved today’s CBS radio commentary from Dave Ross, in which he explains toe tapping. He says it’s a highly evolved men’s room code meaning, roughly, “I love you.†He ends by asking all us men to try to control our “happy feetâ€. http://sea.bonnint.net/2007/0828rosstue.mp3 After Dave Ross’ commentary, the San Francisco Bay Area traffic report came on. In his usual friendly voice, the helicopter guy said, “People are tapping their feet trying to get through the Caldecott Tunnel tonight . . .†I’m finding the whole thing pretty funny, but I am reminded of the downside of spending your life judging the behavior of others. It can probably make you feel superior for a while but, when the tables get turned, they can get turned with a vengeance. The Senior Senator from Idaho is twistin’ in the wind.

I was looking for an image of him working the stalls on both sides but, alas, no. Too bad the Senator from Idaho didn't consider switching sides.

Once you get the hang of it, I bet you'll be a regular Gene Kelly!
