Lucky, some years back a guy by the name of Alan Socal submitted (and had accepted ) a completely nonsense paper to a respectable literary journal. The paper, "Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity" , was stuffed higgledy piggledly with whatever academic buzz words and concepts were fashionable in literary criticism at the time. Shit storm and much hilarity ensued as left wing feminist theory borrows heavily from this particular school of thought (or non-thought). See the second link above under "other papers" toward the end of the other post. Socal's paper was addressing what he saw as wooly-headed intellectual fraud in academia whereas the paper AS is posting about really is more about a finantial scam run by some ex prof who basically pretends to run a legitimate scientific journal but accepts all papers submitted on payment of his "editorial" fees. He preys on post grads and junior academic types desperate to publish a paper.

What, HE likes Camilla too?

Such lovely long eyelashes!

I like manscaping.

Now we know how Adam smith is able to post as much as he does. Auto-generation while he auto-stimulates.

Francisco. A perfect guy that I met at the beach. He is from Poland and has a very hairy torso that he normally shaves. Hope I will meet him again end of November ...

Yep, beautiful.

I'll bet he was a Belgian of the Walloon persuasion. A Frog is a Frog is a Frog even if he holds a Belgian passport.

Eyelashes and sixpack, no excess of mussles, just right. Sorry guys, English is not my mother language. What is manscape ?

Thanks, I'll see what I can do!

Tomcal, thank you so much for sharing your trip with us!

Pauleiro, thank you for being so kind with me! I love the picture. The Poland guy is perfect. I hope you could see him again.

Edouardo. My regular in Porto Alegre. A great looking guy and very often wilde. Loves to come wanking his big cock close to a Customer while looking for the next Customer. Looking forward to meeting his end of November when I am in Porto Alegre !

Swanny, Enjoy yourself in brazil. And return us a favor. When you are there , write some nice stories from sauna or outside. I hope that you will enhance text with some nice hot pictures...

I'm now a big fan of duolingo! It is great and I think I'm hooked, thanks for the tip. I used to be an online subscriber to Rosetta Stone and Duolingo seems quite similar with the exception of it being free! That is what I call value for money! So, I'm now on an intensive two weeks to brush up before my trip. I've also downloaded iSpeak Portuguese which seems like it will come in useful to negotiate fun in the sauna as I suspect Duolingo may not cover such conversations in detail! Thanks again Trzinko and tomcal. Swanny

Thanks for the tip Trzinko, I'll give that a go. Thanks also Tomcal, for the info on iSpeak Portuguse, I just hope that I get to translate hot messages like you describe when I am in Rio! Swanny

tomcal, i also like the third guy. and also this one from yesterday: "do you want bitch or love? it is a tough question. i don't know what i would answer, if i would be in a brazilian sauna. do you know?

Thanks Tomcal for replying to my post. I've been away from this forum as long as you have been, you are the one who inspired me to return, the level of the interations certainly goes through the roof. Your Porto Alegre chronicles have been breathtaking! You are topping yourself !The photo of the third guy is certainly the best you ever took. You are certainly an accomplished photographer, I don't know anything about photography technique, but I do know that having an eye to sense the moment that reveals an inner self is part of it. You don't have to tell us that the guy is one of the greatest things you (or anyone) ever had. Is all there, the expression, the body language, yes is possible to sense a body language in a still (masterful shot) picture. I've already copied and I've been looking at it non-stop, figuring the devastation, the fireworks. Congratulations, guess you are moving to Porto Alegre soon. Enjoy!

The third guy is a hottie

TomCal, I have been enjoying your "read" -- and while I read I thought about the US visas for Brasilians, esp. for guys who work the saunas, etc. Those with whom I've spoken to both in Brasil and Argentina had stated that it was difficult; apparently things have changed. You might want to broach the topic with some of the guys to see what they have to say if you feel comfortable in doing this [2013]. It's super for the visitors as well as for us who find ourselves engaging their services.

i use google translator. and i learn some portoguese with FREE computer application called duolingo. i use it now for month and i can use 260 words. i travel in 60 days, and my aim is 1.000 words, but i will let you know how far did i get. it is frendly user application, and i use it for 30 - 60 minutes a day. it's fun.

I'm heading back to Rio at the end of November after a break of a number of years. My Portuguese is 'pouco' at best, but I'm trying to brush up before my visit. I'm interested which translator app do you use on the iPhone? It sounds like a that would be a good additional tool for me. Thanks for your posts, I've been reading up on here and it is really getting me in the mood for my visit! Cheers, Swanny
