Khun BaoBao, I have always enjoyed your blog and think it is excellent! I hope that you continue for a long time! I also hope that Shamless Mack's returns soon.

Another great NYT article on the New York law as well as the impact this may have on national laws and Constitutional challenges. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/28/us/politics/28doma.html?_r=1

I heard one bar in Chiang Mai had a customer named Bob that went for a drink at the bar one night. He got so drunk that he ended up banging the bartender right on the bar. The bartender did not want to loose his job so he continued mixing drinks while the pounding was underway. (Health officials have declined comment on whether or not any unforeseen liquids were mixed with the expected liquids) Bob, being a rambunctious character then took on the entire waiter crew on the stage. This infuriated the gogo boys when then joined in on the shenanigans. Needless to say, all hell broke loose (not the only thing loose that night). The end result was the owner of the bar closed for the night and decided he was done with Thailand and customers who feel they had a right to do whatever they wanted in his bar. Bob (not his real name according to my spies) then bought the bar and lived happily ever after. At least that is the way I heard the story the other night sitting at the Corner Bar in Pattaya!

A good article in the NYT about what this means for the Defense of Marriage Act and the problems that have now been brought to the forefront. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/28/us/politics/28doma.html?_r=1

I think I was pretty clear in my posts in the other thread. No posting of gossip is acceptable. It may well be posted within the board rules but I hope that posters take it upon themselves to keep it to themselves.

The Green Lantern - while getting panned by almost all, I enjoyed it. I like the lead actor and thought the movie was pretty to watch. Not a great movie but fun to watch. Super 8 - I wasn't sure what this was about until I saw it. I did like the movie and it was intense a few times. I thought the ending was great and the love story (young kids) was sweet. X Men: First Class - Well, I love the X Men series. I liked this one as well and was glad I went to see it. Remember, I am currently in Thailand so it is hard to find really good independent films here. The only thing that seems to come to Thailand are the big pictures. When I was in NYC, I love the variety of good movies. I don't get that here.

Nice. I have only heard amazing things about Sao Paulo's pride parade. In Brazil today: Brazil judge OKs country's first gay marriage http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/06/27/2287957/brazil-judge-approves-countrys.html I wonder if Tomcal has his sights on someone down there?

I love quotes. I especially love sexy ones. Have any to share with the other members at Male Escort Review? “Fuck me badly once, shame on you. Fuck me badly twice, shame on me.” Samatha Jones - Sex in the City and "I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy." -Steve Martin

Looks like she is ready to take on Obama. What do you think? Has she got what it takes to get the Republican nomination? http://edition.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/06/27/bachmann.2012/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

Perhaps it is I don't make fun of people or their names when posting. You do. Sorry Bob, I guess it went over my head. I thought Geezer was stating that the only things he has heard in his group is positive comments about Mike. I stated that Heyday didn't write anything negative. His comments were also positive about Mike and what a good guy he was. Perhaps I just missed something and if that is the case, I do apologize. Sometimes I get a "blond" complex and have a brain fart. Bob: And my guess is he would absolutely bristle at your "birds of a feather" comment. Geezer: I only smile at Michael's gentle needling. Glad I was able to bring a smile to your face. You realizing I had no malicious intent and was only having fun brought a smile to my face. Some people love to dish things out but can't take it. You seem to be gracious in both. Kudos! And, for the last time (I hope and everyone else hopes) this will be my last comment here. (I know I said that before but I really really mean it now).

If the taxi drivers in Bangkok are correct, you are right in that this party will will. I have been saying this for a long time. I know of no Thai who is not wealthy that wants to vote for anyone other than Taskin's party. I think it will be a landslide. I hope those that loose will stop trying to overthrow the elections.

That a motivated Governor and billionaires from the opposite party can effect amazing change with meticulous movements working in cohesion with each other and other groups.

But, be careful if the two of you become good friends. He has paparazzi following him all the time and you never know when some nut job will jump out from the dark abyss and snap his photo as a keepsake.

Great NYT article. Worth a good read IMHO http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/26/nyregion/the-road-to-gay-marriage-in-new-york.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&smid=fb-nytimes

As does Heyday's post. Looks like the two of you are in agreement on this. Birds of a feather....

LOL Really? It is a discussion among friends (often loud that others who are not friends can hear) that are discussing someone else. That person is not there to defend themselves or to knock down any allegations. The only difference is one is written and one is spoken. Sorry, Fountainhall, your argument does not hold water. (think Marisa Tormei in My Cousin Vinny) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J-2EIvItVY

LOL Well, the day the President get balls and allows married people to immigrate their boyfriends to USA, they will all be there with me. Wait, can I marry more than one?

One of the best written shows on TV. Like you, I can't wait to see next season!

loved the story, gcursor. I am a horrible dancer and have tried on many occasions to dance with little success. My major accomplishment is to always get a get boy dancing with me and that way my friends don't notice how bad I suck!

I update every program including Firefox, IE and Safari the day it comes out. I rarely have issues with anything other than IE. As a programmer, I can tell you, EVERY time IE updates, it costs thousands to get compatible with them.

Do you see any reason in the world why ANY personal information about others belongs discussed in chatty dinner groups?

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signs state's marriage equality bill. Same-sex couples can marry within 30 days.

I'll go back on what I said earlier for one more comment. I made the statement about the mods going a good job as one jerk (mentioning no names my dear) was trying to tell them how to do their job. Having moderated sites for years, I know it is a hard job and without much praise or support. I wanted to give them that. They deserve it. They don't deserve snide comments from someone else. IMHO BTW: my issue has been the same since the beginning. Gossip in all forms is bad. Period. You can say what you will about it, as you may like it in person and feel it is OK face to face. I disagree. That is my issue! Don't tell me what my issue is. I have too many issues to deal with on a day to day basis. I don't need others telling me my issues. I have an issue with that! (damn, another issue)

It is a done deal at this point. One giant step for New York, another step to equal rights for all of us!
