  1. Text is easy to add to any page depending on how the website is built as well as the knowledge of the person trying to change the text. I am not a programmer so I am not good at changing text on any website if it is in a position that requires I interact with the server. Most of my websites are built with PHP and therefore it is not as easy for me to make changes. If you are using Dreamweaver or a another program that makes it easy for you to change every webpage then yes it would be an easy edit. However, if the owner of the website does not have first-hand knowledge of how to make the changes on the webpage, how to interact with the hosting company, and all the passwords that are needed to make the change then it is not as easy as it sounds. When I build a website for a client I tell them that the most important thing is a well organized and easily manageable administration area. If you have a great administration section for your website then all changes are going to be easy. The website in question is off to a great start. It looks good. It has great photos. And it has great potential. It is obvious that they launched the website before it was finished. I think we should give them a few weeks in order to complete their project. I look forward to seeing it.
  2. After I ate at this restaurant the other night, I was talking to some guys at the fitness center that I work out at and I told them about the restaurant. Today when I saw them, they said they went to give it a try and thought that it was the best hamburger that they had tasted in Bangkok. I'm sure that since this restaurant is very new that they will have a few kinks in the system but, it is a very interesting place with delicious hamburgers. If you are in the mood for a good hamburger, check out BANGKOK BURGER COMPANY.
  3. Yes, if you don't remember the mother you need to see it again. The mother was one of the best characters in the movie, in my humble opinion. The very end scene was one of the best in the movie. The mother came out as her son was dancing with his boyfriend and she gave the look of death to anyone who dared look at them cross eyes. She then took the hand of one of the other female characters and started to dance. Many years ago when I 1st came out, I took my mother to see this movie. I actually took her to see the movie, on the exact same weekend that I came out to her. I was 28 years old and had never been so scared in my entire life. This movie took the edge off of a very intense weekend. So I guess I have very special feelings about this movie for many different reasons.
  4. I think it sounds good. I'll give it a try for sure. Thanks.
  5. But, hey, I was in Bangkok getting ready for the thong night and I thought I'd wear my black socks as not to offend the white socks friends you have. However, when I went downstairs my hotel, a group of cute Singaporeans took me with them to DJ station.
  6. Sorry Gaybutton, when they saw you coming in that thong, they closed the doors and pretended no one was there.
  7. Pong, it is interesting you say that as the burger joint we went to the other night, the owner kept telling us he prepared the portions for Thais and not falangs. That is why he recommended that we get the larger burger. He also talked several things about Thai customers. Lastly, there were many others tables filled and at least half were from Thai customers. So, I can now see that scene and understand what that happened according to your statements.
  8. Speaking of brave mothers, did you ever see the film "Beautiful Thing." It is great and I love the mother in that movie. IMHO, a real tough cookie!
  9. I also think that there is more to this story and you won't really get a great answer here unless we know the history. That said, I would recommend going to the tourist police and asking for advice. They may be able to give you a heads up on what would happen if you report to police. However, I feel you do need to do something. If you do nothing, it will make you a bigger target from this same group. IMHO
  10. Well, since I have some wine experts, I'll ask something I have always wanted to know. I have always wanted to enjoy drinking wine but I don't like the taste. I drink no alcohol. No beer. No wine. No hard liquor. Nothing. I just can't seem to enjoy the taste. Years back I tried to get into the habit of finding a wine I would like and bought a different bottle every day for the BF and me and I never found one I like. Well, there were some German Reisling wines I liked. They were sweet and I liked that, but could never finish a full glass. Also, I do like very nice champagne but can't drink a lot either. I have never been drunk. I would like to try it one day. What would you recommend for me to be able to get into enjoying wines? It is something I have always wanted. I send wine monthly to family in USA via online but never partake in sharing. Any advice? (other than give up trying)
  11. It was GS for sure! I'd give you a hug for a reward if I was there!
  12. I think America got it right. Melonie was first and Sasha was second. They were stunning the entire season. My boy Marco was 3rd.
  13. NPR lists the top 100 Science fiction / Fantasy books. I love the list and have read a great deal of them. I really want to read the George R.R. Martin books. As a child, I was in love with the Hobbit and anything Tolkien. Animal Farm and 1984 were high school requirements as were a few others. Some I read in college but most just for pleasure. I am glad The Handmaid's Tale made the list. What is your favorite on this list? http://www.npr.org/2011/08/11/139085843/your-picks-top-100-science-fiction-fantasy-books?ps=cprs
  14. I loved this hamburger joint. Also, if you have not read it, this month they will give us all 20 percent off. Print out the flyer and go if you are in Bangkok. It is really a great burger and a nice place to visit! http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/7220-bangkoks-best-burgers/
  15. Are there are gay bars in the Thonglor area of Bangkok? I ask because I went there the other night and really liked the area. There were several massage places I saw with sexy boys and I know they would do private. I was curious if there were any gay bars in this area? discos? gogo? anything? On another note, does anyone live in this area? Lived there before? What do you think?
  16. Oscar Wilde was not a man who lived in fear, but early reviews of “The Picture of Dorian Gray” must have given him pause. The story, telling of a man who never ages while his portrait turns decrepit, appeared in the July, 1890, issue of Lippincott’s, a Philadelphia magazine with English distribution. The Daily Chronicle of London called the tale “unclean,” “poisonous,” and “heavy with the mephitic odours of moral and spiritual putrefaction.” The St. James Gazette deemed it “nasty” and “nauseous,” and suggested that the Treasury or the Vigilance Society might wish to prosecute the author. Most ominous was a short notice in the Scots Observer stating that although “Dorian Gray” was a work of literary quality, it dealt in “matters only fitted for the Criminal Investigation Department or a hearing in camera” and would be of interest mainly to “outlawed noblemen and perverted telegraph-boys”—an allusion to the recent Cleveland Street scandal, which had exposed the workings of a male brothel in London. Within five years, Wilde found himself convicted of “committing acts of gross indecency with certain male persons.” The furor was unsurprising: no work of mainstream English-language fiction had come so close to spelling out homosexual desire. The opening pages leave little doubt that Basil Hallward, the painter of Dorian’s portrait, is in love with his subject. Once Dorian discovers his godlike powers, he carries out various heinous acts, including murder; but to the Victorian sensibility his most unspeakable deed would have been his corruption of a series of young men. (Basil tells Dorian, “There was that wretched boy in the Guards who committed suicide. You were his great friend. There was Sir Henry Ashton, who had to leave England, with a tarnished name. You and he were inseparable.”) At the Wilde trials of 1895, the opposing attorneys read aloud from “Dorian Gray,” calling it a “sodomitical book.” Wilde went to prison not because he loved young men but because he flaunted that love, and “Dorian Gray” became the chief exhibit of his shamelessness. Wilde died in 1900, in a run-down Paris hotel, at the age of forty-six. Almost overnight, a legend was born: Wilde the homosexual martyr, Wilde the moral rebel. A nascent gay-rights movement embraced him as a hero of defiance. When, in 1967, Craig Rodwell opened a gay-and-lesbian bookstore in New York, he named it the Oscar Wilde Memorial Bookshop, and after the Stonewall riots of 1969 Rodwell used the bookstore’s mailing list to help organize the first gay-pride parade. As recently as the late eighties, you could still find bookish young people coming to terms with their sexuality by way of reading Wilde. (You could at least find me.) Whether or not Wilde saw himself as part of a cause, he did not lack courage. The multiple versions of “Dorian Gray”—the earliest surviving manuscript, which is at the Morgan Library; the typescript sent to Lippincott’s, which Harvard University Press has just made available in an “uncensored” edition; the published Lippincott’s text; and the expanded book publication of 1891—show Wilde deciding, sentence by sentence, just how far he would go.

  17. Lucky, have you been watching The Borgias? The election of that pope was really along the lines of what you are talking about.
  18. I walk in NYC all the time with never an issue. I also love walking in Montreal. As far as feeling safe, I feel safe in Thailand but I also ride motorbikes here and there is no true tally of the deaths on them here. I have seen tons of accidents here. Does anyone not feel safe walking in NYC? or Montreal?
  19. For me, this one is easy. I'll let others have a go. I went to one of the 7 sister schools in USA (not in drag) and this photo is great!
  20. This is easy for me. I'm a Rhinestone Cowboy. Growing up on a farm and in rodeos as a kid, I always loved horses and riding. But, I wanted to do it with a flare. I'd have stayed in the rodeo if my parents let me keep my Boa!
  21. Yes, it is Charles Darwin.
  22. Is this one a bit more difficult?
  23. That was quick. Too easy? I was a kid when I saw my first Maplethorp book. In fact, I bought it at a bookstore and hid it from my parents. They knew I wanted to be a photographer and I never thought they would see the book. I didn't come out until I was 28 and I asked my mother about the book. She said she found it but didn't think anything of it at the time as she knew I loved photography.
  24. The list is growing, keep it coming guys! http://www.maleescortreview.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7386-what-strip-clubs-in-north-america-allow-fully-nude-dancing-a-good-male-escort-review-list/
