  1. There was one in Varna, but the info may be outdated. Basically, look up Spartacus Gay Travel and plug in country, then location, then check the "map" pins and listings for hotels, clubs, baths etc, and see if the links work. Spartacus was my gay softcover bible beginning late 1970s. Matt Leblanc was once coverboy. They try to be current but things change so rapidly in more obscure less stable locations.

    Saw the series a few years ago, as well as the original 1970s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy tv series. Amazing how the players could carry such long scenes with minimal musical score. And of course Hurt was in the later movie TTSS.
  3. Literary license ... hahahahaha ... maybe I applied at the wrong wicket. But the counter has closed because the train derailed before leaving the station. Who wants to call it. I can call it ... time of death 21:45 EDT. oopsie, wrong thread ... partially resuscitate!
  4. tomcal you have a knack for generating eager courtier participation. Sometimes I do a final trip report in stages in another document, and then paste it all at once in the topic dialogue box. Then if it is too long and detailed the griping can get out of the way, in my case. Perhaps consider putting your engine in advance of the railtrack's careening twists and turns. The caboose can never then get bumped up in spite of observed history to the contrary.
  5. Less Karaoke, more Bukakke is the lipsynch Rodolfo needs to hear. Pearls not towels.
  6. Think fuckin' big flying scorched-earth reptiles ... in places that often look like Greece or sound like PTG translations of that area. Well, OK, middle earth sounding.
  7. I am going to have to have to give you this one !!!!! You certainly pulled that zinger out of the 'gator swamp. SNAP! You exhibited reptilian patience and Cap'n Hook'd moi. LMAO
  8. Riobard has been, and remains, a fully developed adult male. Beyond loopiness. I am confident that everyone here is of that ilk and has an upcoming maypole dance rehearsal to occupy focus.
  9. Sorry, tomcal. No, really, I got off the blocks too fast again here. Unfair to you! Mea maxima culpa! I know you'll spare me the gladiator sword!
  10. If you find it so offputting that people do not relate to described experiences the way you want; that you among few are the real deal you wish readers grasped; and you are a cut above as someone who really knows how to live, who walks the walk and talks the talk ... why review your travels here? Of course all are welcome here, but surely there is a higher caliber place with a better matched degree of competitiveness for you elsewhere. The Olympics are history but, you know, the Commonwealth Games just were on ... the Gold Coast: perfect!
  11. Early on, before I finetuned my sea legs, I answered the inevitable de onde question by saying Grécia. Of course nobody questioned it or got the economic crisis nuance. They may have thought I was a GOT groupie or an Onassis, if not an exotic moneyed Athenian. I was naïve about the dollars and sense. They need to know in simple terms what to make of you, with a very small number of multiple-choice check boxes. Their first impressions can stick like crazy glue. The advice here is so very valuable for managing that piece, IF you care to. It usually comes down to your financial resources. As oft repeated here, their stage presence supercedes your rep.
  12. Boot camp for them, booty camp for us. Camp all around.
  13. Ooohhhh ... that word that is in-our-face viral. Like, Who knew? Schoolmarms are also net-essential. Maybe more so than ... what was it? ... auntie Meme. Now, she can be fun and knew how to get it out of her system.
  14. Further to that, creativity can better be channeled into interesting sexy anecdotes. I am sure there are many attention-grabbing stories that highlight our common purpose.
  15. PS, I meant elusive (mispelled). Yes, please do share so we can gather clues. Wish I had been on to this during a very slow 2 weeks in Fortaleza.
  16. All that is explained is a word in French I understand to mean 'same', and I am the one explaining it, so the thrust is plural similarity and commonality among more than one nut, greater than one shell?? Trying to put it together. Who went the extra mile to go out and find a subject that has transformed this thread into a portrait gallery that is all over the place? Very hard to read, not so difficult to read. Sometimes that level of counterfeit gif artistry is pitch perfect funny. Otherwise, laughable. I repeat: patience is key. No need to roll over so fast to illustrate my initial point. Leave a little of the work to me. This is being made easier than I thought. Just waiting on the one busy with multiple roles as advertised in LAMD direction. My patience is not tried.

    Parker Posey plays the Smith villain-y role in the new Netflix reboot.
  18. Apparently some people make a living on Instagram, with vast followers, but more product placement than Youtube tally payments. Then you have millions of wannabes with little life direction who want to cash in. I think the money symbol represents a desire to convey they are keen to parlay their time, which they have lots of, into profit, which is illusive. What that employment might entail is something you have to delicately explore. It is hard to make symbol generalizations.
  19. I will pick it up here, not hijack a thread. On many social forums exist fringe trolls. These bottom-fed miscreants share one purpose. The aim is to criticize, embarrass, or shut down other members. They are usually not well organized as a subgroup, each attempting to stage their own usually futile attempt at a mandibular paralysis hex on another member, sometimes desparately trying to recruit support, often demonstrating antipathy even among themselves. The digs can range from subtle to unambiguously obnoxious. I find it fascinating as a theme but usually droll. The central MO seems to be fruitless vying and lobbying for control. Oddly, once in a while these interlocuters contribute something of interest and value ... you might want to reserve your overall judgement about them, until, etc. There are two fundamental ways to respond. First, ignore and avoid engagement, wait and see, shrug it off. Second, experiment with overtly holding your ground and critiquing the editorializing, gentle or more vigourous pushback, reciprocating the less than welcoming tone with a dose of the same medicine. When someone is a pill, dishing back to them is tempting. Even the most guileless here can get their hackles up and behave against type, that is how pervasive and insidious the sick dynamics. That often results in a cascade effect as others weigh in and try to sort alliances. Before you can say boytoy, an elaborate set of overt or subtle vendettas sets all of us back on our heels and permeates completely neutral topics. Look, this is likely to keep occurring. Think letters/comments to news articles. Who sucks up disagreement any more? Already I sense some readers making stabbing motions with their sharp red pens. So impatient, the same lack of delay tolerance that prompts seemingly random nastiness in the strangest of thread places. [OMG WTF why did he use that word or phrase oh me oh my I have an 8-second attention span and it takes 9 seconds to look up a word in my dictionary ... oh kentucky fried krispy kreme kreist I don't have a thesaurus just an emoji pictionary. But, like, it only takes a split-second to be a cunt] I have not met anyone here. It is not a vital source of social oxygen, but I sometimes find enough enjoyment to participate at various degrees. My approach is friendly but not friends. If I call something out it is because it grinds against my principles. If anyone thinks a personal attack is of any consequence you are sadly mistaken. This forum is a mere sliver of the real world. I write this as an attempt to center my own thoughts on the unusually extra intense level of antagonistic spiciness that has flavoured our topics of late, as much as an attempt to offer some perspective that may be useful to some of you within the LAMD heading. Oh, and did I forget to say that nobody here is my editor. If you want to be my editor we can have a private discussion about my writing goals and what wages and benefits you have in store to provide.
  20. I like ginger Brit Lewis a lot ... Band of Brothers, Forsyte Saga, Homeland, Wolf Hall, and Billions. And here he is in production playing Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto when I was living there and he was publicly open about getting chemotherapy across the street. Or did Chuck get the edge on Bobby, forcing him on the lam? M
  21. You are killing me!!!!!!! 110% what I go after ... counting down the months!
  22. Someone directly asked about events this weekend ... I had happened to see one earlier today, on netgay. It is when MR is closed. It got somewhat "overposted", true. I thought visitors might like to know about these regular events, and it is rare to find porn clips. If you still think it is irrelevant, so be it. I would be happy to censor it if I could. I also grasp now that the question seemed to be directed to you specifically. So that is wtf ... you be the judge. You asked, you also made a valid suggestion I won't re-post it. Members here can look these things up on netgay. That site is referenced here a few times. I initially mentioned the model in the ad to explain the absence of his hole on Sunday. He may be at nearby Sao Bento church services. What is in the water lately? Not cachaça.
  23. Carioca Metro/VLT, or Sete de Decembro VLT is even a little closer.
  24. David McIntosh ... strikes me as a bit dunderheaded. Has been in a Jennifer Hudson track vid.
  25. I have not been to these ... there is a blogspot, and a few short ass-fuck clips from the xnxx vid site. The model in this photo is a Brit, just the usual ad agenda.
