Nobody loves a good yock more, but I won't start laughing until they rule out rape. Interesting to see the French cartoons. Unless they tolerate rape better than I do, which I don't believe, it must be their view that it is in fact a coup monté. I do hope that's what it turns out to be. Now that could be funny. The part of Charlie Brown is played by Dominique Strauss-Kahn, while Carla Bruni-Sarkozi appears as Lucy.

Nice story, OZ. Thanks for sharing.

I'm holding out for next year's talking models. What an asshole! Make that a flaming asshole!!

What a dump !

With friends like these, who needs enemas?

Personally, I tend toward tolerance. The only kind of posts I really dislike are cruel posts, especially the ones designed to tear down one of our own. And there aren't many of those here, thankfully. No doubt my posts aggravate some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time , but I appreciate not getting tossed out of the clubhouse when it happens. I know that being ostracized hurts, and I don't want to kick somebody else to the curb if I can avoid it. For all I know, this Board provides a bit of support to some of our members and if indulging their posts is the worst thing I ever have to do in life, I'll die a happy man.

Indeed. And the names! WillaCatheter?

Once I overtipped the caddy and the next thing I knew he was washing my balls.

Try one bite. If that's too much, try a nibble. Discovering the ideal dose that provides only the desired salubrious effects, and not the unwanted ones, will be a highly individualized process and may take some time. In my own case, forty-five years and counting.

Thanks, lurkerspeaks, for the outstanding posts! And please give your 'advisors' a high five for luring you back. I really like hearing the blow-by-blow descriptions of sauna life and the types of guys you are meeting. Found myself wondering, though, what the other customers are like. Do you get a sense that they are local men? Tourists? Regulars? Rich? Average looks? Shy? Sociable? Not that I'm encouraging you to shift your focus away from the heartthrobs that brought you in the door, but would be interested in any observations you've made about other sauna clients. Thanks again for sharing your adventures!

Well, OK, I'd be willing to help you become a perfect poster, just like the rest of us. But it might take some hard work, and it won't always be easy. PS: Kidding aside, Hito, you're a thoughtful guy with a good heart and I think we can use all of that we can get. I know I can.

That's a really good question, ZZ! I'm sure some members of future generations won't be lobotomized, but I bet a goodly number of those who rely on television for their daily mind-fill will definitely be dancing pretty close to the edge of idiocy. I think one of the long-term trends that has been moving us in the direction of lower-quality television is the sheer number of channels and programs that make large audiences a thing of the past. And, without large audiences, there isn't enough advertising revenue to hire good writers and talented actors. Reality TV doesn't require much in the way of writing or acting, so look for more of it in the years ahead. As there are more and more channels with more and more hours to fill, the good programming gets used up pretty quick and we're left with stuff that nobody has put much thought into, except the thought of how to run an extra commercial or score some product placements. For the most part, I think we masses are being 'entertained' by hacks. On the plus side, as our entertainment becomes less cerebral and more primitive, we should eventually find our way back to our roots.

Is he trying to say Lucky's full of shit? . . No, I think he's trying not to say Lucky's full of shit.

Well, that took me deeper into HTML than I ever hoped to go. If OZ or TY can delete these two core dumps, I'll get on about my business. If not, at least I should make the Today's Top Posters list.

MER has become my purlieu, As there's always a fun thread or deux. But is it très gay If I post en français When I'm here in my favorite milieu?

Perhaps you could give us a glimpse every now and then.

I had planned to sit next to Princess B but, alas, never made it through check-in.

Apple says it's a bug and all a big misunderstanding, and then proceeds to show they understand it very well by: • cutting the stored data down to seven days worth • eliminating it from backups to your computer • stop collecting it when you have "Location Services" turned off • encrypting it when you have "Location Services" turned on They also said that some of the location data comes from cell towers that can be a hundred miles away from where you actually are, but neglected to mention that location data can (and often does) also come from a wifi point in the very same room. The software update with the fixes should be available shortly.

Well, it turns out the Danes have a much smaller economy than the U. S., and they work less than anybody except the Belgians, and they usually pay the highest taxes in the world. And yet they're the happiest people on earth. Go figure.

Odd topic for an escort site, but an interesting one, and it seems to have 'legs'. OZ sure knows how to pick 'em. Thanks for all the insights. The only thing that surprises me about your info is that Coke now ships the product ready-made. I don't doubt you; it's just that I thought Coca Cola would rather ship a lighter product if they could. I'm sure they like the control it gives them over the syrup/seltzer ratio. I know I hate it when somebody serves me a Coke with very little syrup and very little flavor. Not only does it taste bad, but I know the soda jerk is nickle-and-dime'ing me. As long as I'm ranting, the guys who piss me off most are the ones who started using artificial flavors. Dr. Pepper tastes like it came out of a lab. (A chemistry lab, not a labrador retriever. Close though.) And A&W used to be the best national root beer brand, but now it tastes like tiger piss. Or so I'm told. Don't want to give anyone the wrong impression.

Woe betide the Coca Cola territory manager who failed to have his sales territory shipshape when the Brass came through. He would hear about it from the regional manager, who would hear about it from the vp of sales, who would hear about it from the senior vp of sales and marketing, who would hear about it from the executive vp in charge of reaming everyone a new asshole. Plenty of grief to go around. There's lots of profit in a serving of Coke (even more now that sugar has been replaced by HFCS) and distribrution is the name of the game. Sodas are usually impulse purchases, and the customer can't buy what he can't find. That's why Coke and Pepsi spend huge amounts of money getting shelf space in the grocery store and other retail outlets. The nozzle-clogging story is a funny one and would certainly be consistent with a high-margin, impulse-driven product. Coke and Pepsi each want to be the exclusive brand, and pay big bucks for the privilege. They do it in fast food joints, and they do it in schools. Can't remember the last time I went to a fast food restaurant and had a choice between Coke or Pepsi. Does make me wonder though how Coke managed to get an exclusive with Santa Claus, and if the switch to HCFS will have any unintended consequences.

Apple's in the spotlight this week after two British software developers uncovered a hidden iPhone file that tracks and records the owner's whereabouts for up to a year. They've released an application that will let you see what your phone's got on you. Of course, anyone else who has access to your iPhone, or your unencrypted backup files, can see it too. In other smart phone news, the ACLU is asking the Michigan State Police how they're using some high tech data extraction equipment they acquired a while back. According to the manufacturer, the UFED devices are capable of getting around user passwords and downloading "existing, hidden, and deleted phone data, including call history, text messages, contacts, images, and geotags", even mapping existing and deleted locations on Google Maps. What's more, it can do it in a couple of minutes or so. The ACLU is asking the State Police to show how they're using the devices, and whether or not they're being used during traffic stops. The police say it will cost the ACLU upwards of half a million dollars to get the info. I'd been planning to get an iPhone 5 when it's released later this year to finally replace my old-fashioned Samsung clamshell with its rudimentary camera and texting capabilities. Maybe I'll hang out with my fellow cave dwellers a little while longer.

TY swears he'll never borrow OZ's Spyder again!
