>My own guilty confession: my favorite character is Chloe. I >would do anything to be that buckled-down. I like Chole and her boyfriend. She is loyal. I was sad at the death on the show this week. I always thought he was the hottest one on the show.

I am glad that when I travel that 24 is always available on Itunes. It makes it very easy to keep up to date.

I would love to see a Clinton Obama ticket but how about a Clinton/Gore again? I like Edwards and hope he is able to get into the race and fight.

Great news. It was my second gay bar ever. My first was Monster. I am glad it is revived.

One of my favorite shows just started the new season. 24 has always been one of my favorites and this season looks great as well. Last nights episodes were excellent. I am looking forward to a new season of this. Any more 24 fans?

My wishes are for world peace. Other than that, I think the misson statement is the place to start. And, from what I have seen GayButton is doing a great job. PS: Plus, I am having a hell of a time. hehe If EarWig could only see the boy with me this weekend. I know how he knows every boy in Pattaya with a big dick. This guy is Hot, massive muscles, 24, body like a Greek god and hung 11 inches. He has spent the last few years doing Extreme Fighting across Europe. He changed jobs and is now in charge of boxing and fitness training at a large gym on the east coast of the USA. Perhaps I'll send a pic after the weekend. Damm, life is good. While I am in the middle of a large project, he contacted me and I decided to fly him in for the weekend to spend time with me. I am hoping for an Extreme weekend myself but hope it is not the Extreme Fighting he does. He is perhaps the one guy that could break my heart or make me settle down in life or just have a hell of a weekend! Just wanted to check in and say hello Pearly. Don't forget my dreams of world peace and harmony. Tootles.

I have been given a great opportunity to do some things in life I have wanted to do for years. I have decided to take the bull by the horn and go off into the wild blue yonder. I am not able to do this and keep up the moderation of the board. Every once in a while an opportunity so amazing is offered to you that you can

Can you just take my word for it? The balls are just as amazing as the pins.

If you dream long enough and wish hard enough anything is possible. I don't have a harem. Never had and never will. I have a highly paid bowling team.

>Actually it does. OZ owns it. But that's being dictionary >correct and doesn't have any bearing on this thread. Are you sure? I didn't know that. Really, I didn't. I am not discounting your claim but I did a search for the name and don't have it in my records. Can you get me the username and password for the registrar so I can make some modifications?

>It is 99% because women did not know they could review guys. >Now that they can we will see how fast the % changes. The numbers will not start pouring in from women. If they do, we will revisit the issue. We are a gay site. >I respectfuuly but strongly disagree with your decision and >actually take offense as a gay male to it. We appreciate this view and will take it into account for the future.

Thanks for the first hand account KY. I appreciate it. I think we both saw pretty much the same things. I think part has to do with what was once a high season is now blending over to be a more medium season year round. At one point, the establishments made a great deal of their income off of the high season cash. I don't think this is now the case. In Pattaya, I saw steady business most of last year. It was often up and down and most of the owners were looking forward to high season. I didn't see it when I was there and have been told by friends that most don't see it now. I am sure the numbers are up. I am not sure what accounts for the lack o more gay tourists traveling there. BTW: This is just my opinion and not based on anything other than my observations.

Jesse, I hate I never got the chance to meet you. You always held yourself out there with head high and a strong spirit. I wish you the best in all your future endeavors! Oz

The site has no intention of becoming a site for lady reviews. However, we have two of them that came in and discussed it and decided to post them. My rational was simple. The guys that were reviewed were listed as willing to see both men and women. If someone places himself into a market, then it is no surprise that they get clients. I want to know if someone is also seeing women as well as men. For me, this makes me less likely to hire them. I am usually looking for only gay guys and the ones that see the girls as well are usually not someone I would hire. I often find reviews are often a double-edged sword. When I attended the Gaiety years ago, there would be women show up and hoot and scream. When this happened and the guy on stage gave them more attention than he would a guy, which just made my decision not to hire him easier. I know a lot of gay men do not like ladies in bars and clubs. But, I enjoy it. I much prefer an open mixed environment than only a group of gay men. I like that sometimes as well, but I don't like excluding women just because they are women. The decision to post the 2 reviews we received was tough ones. It came down to the decision that there was information to be gained from the reviews. In my mind, it was not a big deal. The site was established to become a male for male site. And while 99 percent of all reviews will be from men, I think good information can be obtained from that other percent from time to time.

I wonder how many of those were actually planning on going? I have spoken to 4 friends who are headed to Thailand in the next 2 weeks and all are planning on going. None have cancelled and none had reservations about going. However, I think it all will depend on if these attacks continue.

I agree. Tom is very nice and Manhattans is a real treat. When I was there he was doing pretty good business especially on the buffet nights. The food is great and the price is reasonable. I ate there many times and enjoyed each meal.

There was a thread here about the bombings and it was deleted. I apologize for that as I hit the wrong button. I had posted about the bombings and said that I thought tourism was down and this may negatively effect tourism. Icon posted that actually tourism was up 20 percent. I was trying to post that when I was there, the streets of Pattaya were not as full as the same time last year. Also, I didn't see the same numbers in the gay bars in Bangkok or the hotels I stay at. When I was in Thailand, I had no problem with reservations for friends during high season this year. I had problems the year before. Perhaps their are just more families going to Thailand and less gay tourists. Perhaps I am just getting old and blind. I don't know. It just didn't feel like the same to me. My first trip to Thailand several years ago I had problems with hotels as many were booked. I have not had this problem at all in 2006. As much of a pain in the ass as that is, I hope that 2007 that all the places I try to stay are booked and I have to pick something different. I enjoy Thailand and hope they keep the tourists coming.

Well, I hope to be there. I was making my final reservations today and the HustlaBall is not the same week as the Internext Expo. In previous years, that had been together but they are not this year. I always attend the Expo and not sure if I will be that long in Vegas but we shall see. http://www.internext-expo.com/

That was fast. I am not sure how this will play out. I am against the death penalty but I do think this may have bad reprecussions for America down the road. We were not the ones behind the noose but it happened during our watch.

Looks like it is still going to be around for a while. http://www.bangkokpost.com/Business/29Dec2006_biz31.php Phornsiri named TAT chief, Elite Card saved CHATRUDEE THEPARAT Phornsiri Manoharn, a deputy governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) was selected as its new governor yesterday. Mrs Phornsiri, 57, has been working for the TAT for 36 years and currently oversees domestic markets. She was one of 16 applicants to succeed Juthamas Siriwan who retired at the end of September. Three hopefuls were shortlisted by the selection committee headed by Kriangsak Lohachala. Besides Mrs Phornsiri they were Praphan Assawa-aree, a former managing director of NCC Management; and Pimol Srivikorn, a Thai Rak Thai Party member and a former member of Parliament. Tourism and Sports Minister Suvit Yodmani, who also serves as the chairman of the TAT board, said that Mrs Phornsiri had received the highest votes from eight of the 10 members of the state agency's board. ''She has impressive qualifications with strong experience in the tourism industry and good intentions for development of the sector,'' Mr Suvit said following the selection. Anake Srichivachart, former president of the Thai Travel Agents Association, welcomed the result, saying that the tourism industry wanted TAT insiders to run the agency as they knew the ins and outs of the business and how to disburse the tourism budget. In another development, the TAT board yesterday decided to continue operating the Elite Card, a project of deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra launched to attract affluent tourists. The board suggested, however, that state-owned Thailand Privilege Card Co, set up to market the Elite Card, improve its management and produce clearer financial plans. The board came to the decision after studying options proposed by an evaluation committee chaired by Seri Wangpaichitr, a former TAT governor. The decision to continue the card will avoid huge costs to the state of at least 10 billion baht, including fee returns and estimated future losses.

I am happy for this. I do hope that Hillary goes for it but I have always liked Edwards and wish him well. Do you think he will have baggage left over from the last election?

>LOL....Remember the Crocodile Dundee movie where he crotch >grabs the cross dresser? Well maybe in this case you need to >grab the crotch to make sure there is a something to >grab....:+ Great idea. I have never been much of a crotch man but I think this is a great idea!

>"Always ask a name before sex and >>when they tell it to you, pay attention." > >As in Pat, Lee, Robin, Marion, Kim, Chris, Franc's,.....? ;-) > > >Dick Well, I don't think I have met a Dick I didn't like. Your name is easy.

I am not the eye candy you are looking for but I'll be there.

Anyone hear anything new on this?
