And not just space fillers either but informative, funny, clever, thoughtful and some, dare I say, titillating ones too. You've made this Board a better place, AdamSmith, and we are all in your debt! (No doubt Wallace Stevens would have a few thoughts on this singular event and perhaps, with a little encouragement, we'll get to hear a few.)

Grazie. At 3.2 posts/day average over the past 8-1/2 years, I suppose I put more attention into these forums than anything else except scratching for dollars. Even that! Forgive the self-absorption, but it occurred to look back at a few threads that call up strong memories across the years. Introduction to love of my life; also incidentally the inaugural post by anyone in the Escorts forum, if I recall. (Note that, like many older threads here, the entries are inverted, so that oldest posts are at the end of the thread rather than the beginning.) http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/554-boston-twink-alert/page-2 On handling the dangers of falling in love with one’s escort. (The posts in this one again run from newest on top to oldest at bottom.) http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/680-andre-in-nyc-aug-28-29/ Never-ending poetry post that others nevertheless put up with and even got into the swing of. http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1672-credences-of-summer/ Altogether different poetry post. http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2782-martha-stewart-likes-big-wieners/ Reunion. http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2531-two-dinners-with-andre/ Winning Oz’s filthy lucre. http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/3533-congratulations-adamsmith/ How I spent it. http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/3724-three-dinners-with-andre/ Raving about The Web/NYC. Several dancers told me that my post #12 in this thread was apparently TMI for club management, who printed it out, posted it in the dancers’ dressing room, and ripped them up one side and down the other about it. http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2426-nyc-the-web/ Now (inevitably! ) to Stevens. As a space for reflection, self-presentation, self-constitution, these forums put me in mind sometimes maybe a little bit of this: The Snow Man One must have a mind of winter To regard the frost and the boughs Of the pine-trees crusted with snow; And have been cold a long time To behold the junipers shagged with ice, The spruces rough in the distant glitter Of the January sun; and not to think Of any misery in the sound of the wind, In the sound of a few leaves, Which is the sound of the land Full of the same wind That is blowing in the same bare place For the listener, who listens in the snow, And, nothing himself, beholds Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

10,000! That is fucking awesome! Congrats on the milestone and thank you for all 10,000 posts.

Yes, Congrats on finding and posting ALL those Liquor Bottles and song Lyrics !

Always enjoyable posts. Thanks AS!

Again, Happy Birthday Tom!!

RE; The Title. Is there anything else? A little dated but not very tedious. Excellent. Thanks. Best regards, RA1

I knew it was right around the corner and, here it is. Congrats. Best regards, RA1

Meio Mundo now costs 40Reais entry. And Clube 117 is now up to 50Reais. Both saunas have a Cavalete in some of the rooms/suites. MM bar has vinyl covered banquets that run the length of the room. Haven't been to 117 since last year. But when last there, part of the bar had been built out with more suites with part left as a second TV room with the bar at times staffed, more often not. There is a round bed in the center of the space, chairs and tables, sofa along the walls, all of which is fairly private and a good place to get to know the boy even more intimately before deciding to actually get a suite. Have not been to 202 since 2007. MM does not have wifi.

I was really sad to read that post of yours, Tom. I do hope the illness will be as non-progressing as it can be ! And I am sure that you will continue to fight against it with the same energy and courage that you showed since you were aware that you had it. It has been a pleasure going with you to Prague, Brazil and Fort Lauderdale. We had some identical taste as for boys and we shared a lot of boys together (not at the same time lol) in many places. I had great time travelling with you, since you were knowledgeable, good company and easy going. I wish you the best of luck. Next time I will enter the Mezzaninu sauna, the Meio Mundo sauna or Boardwalk or Monty=Little Temple in Prague, I will have a big thought for you. Thanks for having permitted to me - and to a lot of readers of this forum - to discover the Mezzaninu sauna. Best of luck ! Paulo
