I think that is good news. He is just a football player. Not a gay football player. To me, this is a step forward.

Michael Sam is near to his debut. I am not much of a sports person but I am very happy to see him back in the spotlight and back to playing the game he loves. http://montrealgazette.com/sports/football/cfl/montreal-alouettes/cfl-debut-of-alouettes-sam-is-close-at-hand

I don't think a tour guide is really needed in Thailand. It is easy to get around and go places and do things. But, if you want companionship, I suggest hiring a guide that is cute and gay. There was a recent thread on GayThailand about that. For me, I would have loved this on my first few trips. The cost is about 30-40 USD per day and I am sure it would be well worth it. Or, just go and find a guy you like that speaks English and have him stay with you the entire trip. Don't do like I have done and find one guy (or two in my case) and keep them for 10 years. That shit gets really expensive. I know you will love Thailand.

They are now both doing 75 nights for this tier. But, IHG use to be 50 and it had the same benefits as Marriott but 25 less nights a year. In the end, it gets to the point where these are not of the value they should have and I am now at the point of deciding not to work to get elite in either program. I have held Platinum Elite with both for over 10 years and while I get a few perks when I check into the hotel, it may not be the value I should be getting based on the money I spent on their hotels. IHG offers Royal Ambassador which is harder to get and requires 20 nights in Intercontinental branded hotel. I have been Royal for 10 years as well and that always gets me a free 1 bedroom suite and free mini bar. Both are great perks if and only if it is an Intercontinental Hotel. On my next trip to Thailand, the Intercontinental Hotel in Bangkok is nearly 9k baht per night. For that rate, I can easily get a just as nice 2 bedroom suite at The Ascott and have money left over. The same is true for a stay I have planned for Egypt. It is hard to give up status for IHG but this may be my last year to retain it as I just can't justify the expense.

Nice!

I always enjoyed the photo threads. But, for those that don't, I just don't get why one can't just ignore them. I was having a discussion about another message board yesterday with some long time posters. It is not a gay related site but one based on politics. There is a firestorm brewing and many members are upset and leaving because a poster is posting. My friends, who all have over 20,000 posts on that site, said the same thing I thought and that is that they cannot for the life of them fathom why someone can't just ignore someone that they disagree with. Most forums have a built in ignore feature that allows this to work great. B I hate nasty negativity and I don't see the need for it here or anywhere else.

Tawan? What is that? No Boys at Tawan.

Yes, that is him. He was wonderful wasn't he? He loves me. He says that every time I see him. He says he only has eyes for me and that mama loved the new water buffalo.

On my last trip, I had a great time with this wonderful guy named Boy. Does anyone else know him?

I thought it was a good movie. I always like Tom Cruise and he still has a great body at his age. The show was enjoyable for me and I liked seeing Alex Baldwin in the show. I saw Tom's interview with Jon Steward the other night and it was good. But, his sing off with Jimmy Kimmel was amazing!

Firecat is the master of these apps. I would believe what he says on this! I have seen his results personally many times over the years.

6 people who gathered to celebrate this year's Pride Parade were stabbed today. An orthodox Jew was arrested for the incident. He had just been released on parole for another Pride stabbing 10 years ago. Sad to see this is still so much hatred in the world. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3180270/Ultra-Orthodox-Jew-stabs-six-people-Jerusalem-Gay-Pride-march.html

One of my favorite movies of all time is Sordid Lives with Leslie Jordan. His character Brother Boy is one that I can never forget. LOL Great article today on his throwing coffee in some homophobes faces. http://www.queerty.com/leslie-jordan-throws-coffee-at-men-screaming-antigay-slurs-inside-west-hollywood-starbucks-20150730

Are you an ass man? Nice asses in the photos.

I will be taking British airways overseas, and I have a 12 hour layover at Heathrow airport in London. Has anyone had such a long layover? If so, were you able to check your bags into either the airport are the lounge? What would you do in the city into such a short timeframe? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

LOL I didn't read that. I guess I am going blind in my old age. Can I join the army?

No, it does not disqualify you at all. Was this a side step to avoid answer who is moderating your board? I think I smell a side step. I am not making a federal case out of anything. I am simply asking the same question you did. What's the problem with that?

Meanwhile, the question as to whether YOUR board has moderators is a question for GayButton, no one else, to address - unless, of course, you happen to be a moderator on his board. It is fine with me as well.

I have been actively watching the media uproar from the Cecil the Lion murder that occurred in Africa. (You can see from the murder statement that I abhor this act) Many news articles have done a good job at uncovering the dentist who did this. The dentist website crashed yesterday. His Yelp reviews are a hoot. The social media has been destroying him left and right. I am not sure he will ever move on from this. Or, at least I hope he won't. Here is a good article I read: http://deadspin.com/dipshit-midwestern-dentist-identified-as-cecil-the-lion-1720587798

I like my legs and back equally massaged. I could care less about the time spent on my arms. To me that is a waste. But, when they start with my arms, I normally place my hands on their cock so as to them them know I like things long and hard. They get the picture and before my first hand is massaged fully, they are erect for the rest of the massage.

Interesting analogy to the Hunger Games. I had never really thought of that before but the more I think about that with Bangkok and the rest of the country, the more I see.

Gaybutton's first site was the one I used when I first came to Thailand and it was full of great information. I did not post back then, but I did get tons of information from it. His current site is also one that I would use if I would be coming to LOS for the first time. One can learn a lot from it and from him. I have nothing but the utmost respect for him and he has always been kind to me. That said, I don't think I was criticizing him when I said his board was heavy moderated. He states that to everyone and it is his "iron fist" style. For me, that is OK and I still learn a lot from it. This board is more the limp wrist style and lets most things go. I much prefer no fisting or fingering to my sensitive areas so a completely unmoderated board is my style. But, it is not my board and I don't get what I want.

Why is that important? I am curious why anyone would need to know who a moderator is. Who are the moderators on Gaybutton? Give us their names. Who are the moderators on SGT? Give us their names. Who owns SGT? (I know but most people do not know the real owner) All questions above are there for GB and not to be answered as I don't care to know the answer. I have never found such questions important to me. I want to know if a board is run well. This one appears to be. GB's appears to be. (but, I think a little heavy handed at times) Other than that, it ain't my business what others are doing or not doing. I know the gossip group in Pattaya wants to know everything but as they have no one on the in, they can't find out what they need. So, what?
