Tomcal waltzes into a restaurant and before he can sit down, his waiter's rushing over to pimp his handsome friend. MsGuy takes a table and the wait staff are playing rock, paper, scissors for who has to bring him a cup of coffee. Sigh... Half an hour and still waiting on my coffee.

Samsung pays Apple $1 Billion sending 30 trucks full of 5 cent coinsNovember 13 This morning more than 30 trucks filled with 5-cent coins arrived at Apple’s headquarters in California. Initially, the security company that protects the facility said the trucks were in the wrong place, but minutes later, Tim Cook (Apple CEO) received a call from Samsung CEO explaining that they will pay $1 billion dollars for the fine recently ruled against the South Korean company in this way. The funny part is that the signed document does not specify a single payment method, so Samsung is entitled to send the creators of the iPhone their billion dollars in the way they deem best. This dirty but genius geek troll play is a new headache to Apple executives as they will need to put in long hours counting all that money, to check if it is all there and to try to deposit it crossing fingers to hope a bank will accept all the coins. Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, told the media that his company is not going to be intimidated by a group of “geeks with style” and that if they want to play dirty, they also know how to do it. http://thebladebrownshow.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/lawsuit-paid-in-full-samsung-pays-apple-1-billion-sending-30-trucks-full-of-5-cent-coins/

I want to read this. The Food of a Younger Land: A Portrait of American Food--Before the National Highway System, Before Chain Restaurants, and Before Frozen Food, When the Nation's Food Was Seasonal, Regional, and Traditional--from the Lost WPA Files By Mark Kurlansky A remarkable portrait of American food before World War II, presented by the New York Times-bestselling author of Cod and Salt. Award-winning New York Times-bestselling author Mark Kurlansky takes us back to the food and eating habits of a younger America: Before the national highway system brought the country closer together; before chain restaurants imposed uniformity and low quality; and before the Frigidaire meant frozen food in mass quantities, the nation's food was seasonal, regional, and traditional. It helped form the distinct character, attitudes, and customs of those who ate it. In the 1930s, with the country gripped by the Great Depression and millions of Americans struggling to get by, FDR created the Federal Writers' Project under the New Deal as a make-work program for artists and authors. A number of writers, including Zora Neale Hurston, Eudora Welty, and Nelson Algren, were dispatched all across America to chronicle the eating habits, traditions, and struggles of local people. The project, called "America Eats," was abandoned in the early 1940s because of the World War and never completed. The Food of a Younger Land unearths this forgotten literary and historical treasure and brings it to exuberant life. Mark Kurlansky's brilliant book captures these remarkable stories, and combined with authentic recipes, anecdotes, photos, and his own musings and analysis, evokes a bygone era when Americans had never heard of fast food and the grocery superstore was a thing of the future. Kurlansky serves as a guide to this hearty and poignant look at the country's roots. From New York automats to Georgia Coca-Cola parties, from Arkansas possum-eating clubs to Puget Sound salmon feasts, from Choctaw funerals to South Carolina barbecues, the WPA writers found Americans in their regional niches and eating an enormous diversity of meals. From Mississippi chittlins to Indiana persimmon puddings, Maine lobsters, and Montana beavertails, they recorded the curiosities, commonalities, and communities of American food. http://www.amazon.com/Food-Younger-Land-Food-Before-Restaurants/dp/1594488657?tag=vglnk-c53-20

Depending on the cost of metals, it now costs around 10 or 11 cents to mint a nickel, so one can see where Uncle Sam might get a little peeved at some clever fellow melting the little buggers down to make a few bucks. LOL, melt 'em and sell the metal back to the mint! The perfect racket.

Somehow that line seemed much more clever when I was 21.

It seems I have heard of pennies being refused, although 500 billion pennies might be worth melting down for the copper content, depending upon the current commodity market price. Is it illegal to melt pennies? I have personally had every form of payment legal in the US either be bogus or stopped payment upon. I have had wire transfers already in my account go back to the sender. I have had cashier's checks stopped. Bogus bank checks are a dime a dozen. Naturally there is counterfeit cash as well as "tainted" cash; tainted by being over $9,999.99 or actually having drug residue on it. I once had a guy to offer gold coins for a purchase where upon I pointed him in the direction of the nearest coin dealer. I have said for a very long time that there is a better class of crooks in aviation. So far, no one has pulled a gun on me or mugged me or done anything other than try to get into my pocket. Of course, there are some I don't mind reaching into my (front) pocket. Best regards, RA1

I always check out these too-good-to-be-true stories, but not this one. I wanted to enjoy it for a little while. I had a good ten minutes until NCBored did the needful. During that time, it occurred that Apple hasn't caught many breaks lately. Twenty billion nickels in the driveway would have been a kick in the iKeister.

Wherever did you get the notion that I evaluated it? As lookin, more or less, concurred.

There are so many gay massage places in Thailand. They are all over the place. Some are very economical and others are posh and charge prices that I consider to be bordering on expensive. On my most recent trip to Thailand, while in Pattaya (The beach area). I hired a massage guy from Gayromeo. He promised a sensual, not sexual; massage that would have a lot of "nude" body to body contact. During the massage, he paid more attention to the detail of the massage and less attention to the body to body aspect of it. Once the "real massage" was over, the body to body contact began and finished with him giving me a hand-job. It was an ok experience that cost me 1000 baht for his 1 1/2 hours of time. As experiences go, I wish I had not had the orgasm in the session only because I planned to go out and have more sex that night. It's not hard to get lucky in Thailand. The average visitor is spoiled with choice when it comes to finding a sex partner. There are Massage guys everywhere, massage businesses in all the gay areas and in a lot of the non-gay area. There are host bars where you can hire the guys away from the establishment by paying an off fee that ranges from as little as 250 baht to 700 baht. Keep in mind that 1000 baht is about $30 USD. You would also need to tip the guy you are with once the deed is done and that tip depends on what city you are in at the time and where you found your friend. You would tend to tip more if you are in Bangkok and less if you are in Pattaya. This past trip (Oct of 2013). While on the beach I saw a very hot Cambodian massage guy giving a massage to a guy on the beach. I was so into him that I looked for him the following day and got his cell phone number. Later that night I sent him a message asking him what time he stopped doing massage? It was about 11pm. He asked me where I was and I told him I was in Boyztown. (A gay area in Pattaya). He told me to call him when I got back to my hotel. I called him when I was on my way back and we met along the beach and both walked back to my hotel. When we got back to my hotel he shared a joking conversation with the security guards on the ground floor. I don't know what was said as I only speak English. Once the doors closed, he told me that he use to work with them and they told him I was a nice guy and to give me a good massage. Once in the room he told me he was not Thai but was from Cambodia. Somewhere along the way we had agreed to how much I should tip him for the massage which was 1000 baht. (For a non-sexual massage on the beach the cost would be 400 baht). The thing I liked most about this guy was that he was not only handsome and sexy, but also masculine and confident. You could put him in a group of Muay Thai boxers and he would fit right in. Later he told me that he did train to be a boxer but no-longer has the desire to fight. Once we showered, I set the lights and music and prepared the bed for our massage session. I thought I was going to get massaged but once on I stretched out across the bed, he knee-walked himself up to where I was resting my head and started things off by getting a blow-job while reacing over and palming my ass with one hand and his other hand at the back of my head near the top of my neck while whispering words of a language I didn't speak. We went through many sexual positions on the bed with him in the dominant role before we settled into a 69 position before he ripped himself away from me, went to his pants and returned to the bed rolling on a condom, opening a packet of lube with his teeth and spitting away a piece of plastic still in his mouth, lubed-up his condom covered cock and...... Well... Lets just say that the time I spent with him was equal to or better than any porno I have seen to date. We spent several nights together but he spoiled me. When we had sex, it was as if he was reading my mind and knew what to do and when to do it. After him, I felt unsatisfied having sex with others. Oh.. Hey... What were we talking about? This picture does not do him justice, but this is him the 2nd day when I saw him and decided I would get his phone number from him. http://tinypic.com/r/wiat04/5
