An older woman comes to the doctor complaining that she's passing gas all the time. They're quiet, thank goodness, so nobody knows it's me, and they're completely odorless. It's just that I know it's me and I feel like everyone's staring. Here, try these pills, says the doctor, and come back in a couple of weeks. When she returns, she's no happier. Not only am I still passing gas constantly, but now they're starting to smell just awful! Fortunately, they still don't make any noise so I'm getting away with it. Well, says the doctor, it looks like your sinuses are clearing up OK. Now let's see what we can do about your hearing.

Well, the NY Times is the talk of the island here. While going down the boarding ramp after exiting the ferry this afternoon, a very hot evangelical pastor who definitely knows my "persuasion", just said loudly to me, "otimo comentario" or "great commentary" that I posted to the paper. My friend who rents bikes and quadricycles was quite proud to see Seth exiting his shop during the video. Fun to at times be remembered in this northermost point of the city of Rio de Janeiro. However, more fun to have a hot Carioca in the sack.

No, (per another old wheeze) I'm trying not to tell you something.

One interesting takeaway from this race is that many traditional party moneybags took a walk as a way of firing a shot across the bows of the radical wing of the party. For months donors from finance, big business and high tech have been kvetching that tea party types were behaving irresponsibly on immigration and fiscal issues (read: costing them money). There's been a (somewhat) organized movement to pull a cash boycott of tea party candidates during next year's election cycle. Some of the more irate fat cats are even talking of taking a page out of the tea party play book and sponsor primary opponents against congress critters who get too far off the reservation. Given the shift to the right in the party base, they might not have too much luck with more moderate pro-business candidates but could be successful in forcing incumbents to exaust limited funds and leaving them with a tarnished image with which to wage the general election.

Huntsville, Alabama and the Tennessee River? Oh my Lucky, you know me too well. I just didn't want to bore you with my catfish tales or frog gigging stories. http://gaybangkok.boytoy.com/

Newark?

Me too. Even if I do get a little envious at times, lol.

---- "The Finding for Suspension shall require a vote in the affirmative by at least 50% + 1 voting with a minimum of nine votes in the affirmative. Consequently, a minimum of 19 members must participate with at least 9 voting in the affirmative." ---- LOL, and what are the chances that 19 regulars will voluntarily jump into a very public brawl here on BoyToy? Oz, you sneaky old dog, with that as the threshold criteria, we would be hard put to evict Attila the Hun. So you've effectively banned us from banning anyone while simultaneously seemingly shifting the full onerous responsibility onto the membership. Thought you'd slip that one by me, did you? Hahahahaha...I thought you were supposed to be busy doing something important in India with the programmers? [Hmmm... I guess none of them has a cute ass...]

Occasionally, I forget that Totally Oz is a lawyer. I won't forget today! I hope that no one gets banned and that we all treat each other with respect, even when we disagree.

It's all over the news that a Jewish man let a black man sleep on his shoulder for 30 minutes on the subway. Some think it is being hyped too much as a sign that all is right with the world, others wonder what being Jewish has to do with it. I didn't much care. For me, it brought back a fond memory from almost 40 years ago. Back then, New York had an East Side Bus Terminal, so you could take a bus from La Guardia to Manhattan's east side. Next to me was a cute young flight attendant, and, sure enough, he soon fell asleep on my shoulder. We didn't make the news, but we did talk as he woke up nearing the terminal. He ended up in my hotel room, which apparently was the goal of the "nap."

At the 2:20 mark, the food market here makes their own ice cream which is quite nice At the 3:34 mark, Seth gets saved by a guy in a sunga who offered himself up to me one afternoon after gaining entrance to my yard by some subterfuge about comparing our lawncare regimens. He is currently married to quite a cute little dyke.

hahahahahahahaha... Wait! Are you trying to tell me something, lookin?

That was no lady, that was my wife or something to similar effect. Best regards, RA1

Perhaps Justin hired a woman with a strap-on? ;-)

The Bangkok city guide is very well done, Oz. You hit all the right topics, although I will note that in 13 trips there, no one has ever offered me drugs, nor have I ever been mugged. I did get pick-pocketed by some little kids at the Weekend Market, due to my own stupidity in keeping my wallet in a lower pocket- right where they could get it. Anyway, sorry if I rushed the report, but it sure looked like it was ready for the presses.

Note to self: No cow-tipping in Hindu countries.

You got me hooked on this author back last year and I keep up with him. He is very good and he has posted some great info on Brazil and the things most never see in Brazil. For anyone who has never been to Brazil and likes going off the beaten path, please go over all read all of this NYT's author's writings. It is fascinating and will give you tons of great times.

Respectfully, of course, I suggest that the boys call tomcal to see if he will be at the sauna, then tons of boys will show up, all with that hopeful tomcal look in their eyes...

Our dear Mr. Oz is the master of conning folks down his yellow brick roads. Just remember, always look behind that curtain!

Thank you, AS. Nice to know that at least one person here took my plea for help seriously. Now if I can just give up cokes, straws, my nicotine gum, chew more slowly and fix my dentures, folks might be willing to sit on my side of the table down at the coffee shop. Of course it might help too if I took a shower a little more often.

Halfway through the Citations and References Section, our Complainant decides it's easier to banish himself.

Hasn't tomcal's return been a real boost to this forum? I am so glad that he is back to posting here.

As long as we're at it...

No joke. I had forgotten he said this.
