Several years back, I lived in Thailand in a beautiful 5 bedroom house with a huge swimming pool next door to the ocean. I love it and I filled each of the 5 room with beautiful Thai boys who were there with me day and night. It was a very fun year and I am still friends with those boys and 2 of them are still living with me now many years later. I wanted to throw parties and have fun and I did. I threw the most amazing parties with tons of booze, good music and great food. My parties were famous for being the gay events to attend. There were a few groups of people in the city that I was friends with. One group hated some other gay men in the area. As I am the friendly sort, I was able to be friends with both groups. At a party I was having to celebrate the King's Birthday in Thailand and no bars are open and no liquor can be sold in the stores that day, my pantry was full and the party was going to be filled with over 70 of the hottest gogo boys you could imagine as many were friends of the boys living in my humble abode. The party quickly grew in gossip and everyone wanted to attend. I invited them all as I really wanted everyone to have a great time that night. Finally, my best friend in the city said that he hated one guy so much that he would not be going to the party unless he knew that the guy was not invited. Now, that guy he hated was hard to take, very boisterous and pretty damn controversial in the city. He even pissed me off from time to time on the message boards by spreading gossip. But, I loved hanging out with him. He was great fun and all my boys loved him as he treated them with kindness and they loved his goofy demeanor. My best friend threw down the gauntlet and demanded that I now cater to his need to have this guy uninvited. I thought about it and finally I decided it was not a road I was willing to take. I told my best friend that I care about him but I was not going to play games with inviting and uninviting people to the party. He said that he would not be there and that his friends would not come either. I said OK and that was no problem for me. The party was really for the Thai boys to have fun and they did. The foreigners that did come had a blast and to this day tell me when I see them about the amazing parties they have in their memory. My best friend, well we are no longer friends. He did not like that I "chose" someone else over him and I did not like being put into an uncomfortable position. Parties are supposed to be great events. My house was huge and would have been very easy to avoid one guy when over 200 were in attendance and more than 80 percent were hot sexy boys. But, my mother always told me something good when I was a kid and we were having a small party for family and friends. A similar situation arose. She said to my cousin, "don't ask me to choose between you and someone else. As much as I love you, I'd always end up choosing the person who didn't ask me to do that." That has stuck in my memory all these years and perhaps that is the main reason I love to have parties and invite many and let them all decide if they wish to attend the party. For those that don't want to attend, I am saddened but life goes on. For those that wish to attend, I can promise a good time and good conversation and good food.

What'd he say? He said he doesn't like us. Hell, I don't like us either.

A few hopes and dreams before heading out for a nice afternoon hike: As I posted on Daddy's site before it went down, I had something I believe was similar to what he's going through now. It was a skin infection that made it into my bloodstream. I was sitting in the emergency room when my temperature spiked to 104º and they made me a paying guest immediately. After a few days of figuring out what it was, they finally found the right antibiotic, started to kill the bug, and then sent me home with a battery-operated gizmo that I had to keep supplied with sterile IV bags several times a day and wear around for six weeks. Then they had to keep testing me to make sure the bug wasn't hiding in my bones somewhere, ready to strike again. Twenty years later, I can tell you it was tremendously worrisome and not at all pleasant. I hope Daddy will be as lucky as I was, and no doubt he could use a little support even from those who may be pissed off at him for some reason. Whatever some may think about Daddy's website and the way he runs it, it's what he's got. The man has put many years of his life into it and deserves some respect for that alone. Personally, I've had several years of good times there and hope to have many more. And whatever some may think about the way OZ moderates this site, I can guarantee you that it is not unmoderated. There's a long fuse and folks will get the opportunity to act out a bit longer than at some other sites. The underlying assumption is that we're all adults and that we have, or can quickly develop, the skills to get along with one another. But terminal cases do get terminated, if not with a lot of fanfare. One minute they're here and the next, they're not. I don't think we need to worry our pretty little heads that OZ is not paying attention. And last but not least, I hope, as others have also hoped, that many of those who have dropped by in recent days will stick around for the long haul. This has been a place where other Daddy's refugees have found a home. It may take a few days to get the lay of the land (so to speak ) and some patience in learning one another's quirks. But I think you'll find that, over time, your quirks can likewise be assimilated. None of us is perfect - with the possible exception of Hitoallusa, and even he might demur - but why not hang out for a bit and post some stuff that you would like to see. Any community goes through some rough patches but, in general, I think it's better than the alternative. Which reminds me, I've got a hike to take.

And I want to be the ring bearer....

Me, Me, Me - Bridesmaid duty

I observe both sites (specifically the forums) and it seems to me to be pretty clear that the two have different philosophies in how to moderate. Simplistically speaking, Daddy's is over moderated and Oz's is under moderated. Assuming Daddy's forum comes back on line, which I believe it will, this provides people who want to participate with choices, always a good thing imho. People that are put off by the way one is operated can go to the other or just go away if they don't like either (or start up their own site and see if they can figure out how to be somewhere in between). The "marketplace" will provide some indication of overall preference for the style/philosophy (as in how many different people post at each site, the number of guests observing, the number of different threads, the liveliness of discussions, etc). The "under" moderation here seems to have worked for the most part for the group that regularly posts here but like all things there are times when situations arise that test how well it works. Both forums have their hot buttons that typically cause a huge kerfuffle (topics with Benjamin Nicholas comes to mind over there as an example and topics about Daddy's site over here). Those topics (among others) often bring out the worst in some posters. The difference is that the BN thread would likely be locked down while threads about Daddy's site are left open. And would a thread even be allowed to go on over at Daddy's discussing BoyToy? I don't know for sure but I have my own speculation on the answer to that question. Based on that, and considering one takes the bad with the good, make a decision as to which one suits your sensibilities better. As far as more escorts participating in either forum, after years around both I have reluctantly concluded that it ain't gonna happen. It doesn't work at the over moderated site and it doesn't work at the under moderated site.

Love it.....Thanks for that. Btw, to show how dense I can be, I always thought the term was "com" as in command. I learned something new. And for those Star Trek fans, here is an interesting article about its use there http://www.startreknewvoyages.com/?p=3907 “Scotty, you’ve got the conn.” We’ve heard it a zillion times. Kirk is frequently leaving the Bridge of the Enterprise for one reason or another and leaving someone in charge of the Bridge. The Online Etymological Dictionary clarifies that con, conn, and conning when used in this context come from the old word cond, which comes from Middle English conduen (meaning “to conduct’) which comes from old Anglo-French cunduire, which in turn comes from Latin conductus (past participle of conducere), meaning ”to lead or bring together.” The earliest written English use of the word con in this context would seem to be from the year 1626. This concept of “getting something (in this case, a ship) successfully from Point A to Point B” is also still in use in the English word conduit. The differences in spelling (conn versus con) would seem to be simple American English verses British English variant–like tires and tyres. In the end, whatever the actual etymology of the word is, its meaning is clear: “you have control of the ship.” The Naval Shiphandler’s Guide has this to say about the term: “One of the most important principles of ship handling is that there be no ambiguity as to who is controlling the movements of the ship. One person gives orders to the ship’s engine, rudder, lines, and ground tackle. This person is said to have the ‘conn.’ —James Alden Barber, 2005, ‘Introduction,’ p.8, The Naval Shiphandler’s Guide” So, how many times did Captain Kirk actually have someone “take the conn?” It turns out, not quite as many as you might expect. Without getting into those times where “giving the conn” to someone happened throughout the Star Trek movieseries, and without getting into all those times where someone (like Lieutenant Leslie, for example) clearly had the conn without us ever seeing the initial handoff, here are the thirteen (13)–yes, thirteen–a baker’s dozen–times that Kirk gave orders for someone to “take the conn” in The Original Series and The Animated Series: 1. “A Private Little War” (episode 45) “You have he conn, Scotty.” 2. “A Piece of the Action” (episode 49) “Scotty, you have the conn.” 3. “Return to Tomorrow” (episode 51) ”Mister Sulu, you have the conn.” 4. “Elaan of Troyius” (episode 57) “Mister Spock, you have the conn.” 5. “The Tholian Web” (episode 64) “Scotty, you have the conn.” 6. “For the World is Hollow, and I Have Touched the Sky” (episode 65) “Mister Scott, you have the conn.” 7. “Wink of an Eye” (episode 68) “Mister Spock, you have the conn.” 8. “That Which Survives” (episode 69) “Mister Spock, you have the conn.” 9. “The Cloud Minders” (episode 74) “That’s an order, Mister Spock. You have the conn.” 10. “The Way to Eden” (episode 75) “Scotty, you have the conn.” …and then the final three times were in the Animated Series: 11. “One Upon a Planet” (animated epiosde 6) “Mister Arex, you have the conn.” 12. “The Survivor” (animated episode 9) “Take the conn, Mister Spock.” 13. “The Pirates of Orion (animated episode 17) “Mister Sulu, you have he conn.” So, all in all, it wasn’t that many times. With no instances in the first season, three instances in the second season, and the rest in the third season (or later, in the case of the animated episodes), the use of the term “the conn” was actually a fairly late development in Star Trek. For those who are keeping score, here are the final counts: Mister Spock 5 Mister Scott 5 Mister Sulu 2 Mister Arex 1 For the sake of being a completest, there were a few times where someone was asked to simply “take over.” Presumably, this general “take over [command of the Bridge]” order is about the same thing as the “take the conn” order. Those times were: 1. “Tomorrow Is Yesterday (episode 21) “Try and beam that pilot aboard. Take over, Mister Spock.” 2. “The Doomsday Machine (episode 35) “Very well, Mister Spock: the Bridge is yours,” says Commodore Matt Decker. 3. “I, Mudd” (episode 41) “Spock, take over.” 4 “Journey to Babel (episode 44) “Mister Chekov, take over.” 5. “The Tholian Web (episode 64) “Take over, Mister Sulu. I’ll be in the transporter room.” says Mister Scott.

Now THAT's what I call one fuckin CLASSY post !

I agree it would be great to have more escorts participating here (also there). But I don't agree that escorts' lack of participation has much to do with the tone of what clients post, either here or at Daddy's. I say this because more than half a dozen escorts have remarked to me, independently of one another, that their business seems to slow down whenever they post much. Not inflammatory posts; rather, regardless of what they post, and regardless of the general tenor of the forums at that time. So they tend not to. This data spans from the time of Hooboy, through Daddy's takeover there, and on into the creation of this site.

Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I love it there! And, their gay pride is like no other. Have fun and enjoy if you are there. I'd love some photos you take if you have time.

Oz, you know that things that stress and test you, only make you stronger..... BRAVO !

See, it didn't even take 4 fucking minutes!

It's safe to say his cock pic It looks to be "bite-sized". I would have to eat it 3 times to be satisfied.

No problem. I always get blasted when I talk about this again but hell, it has been a long weekend anyway. Other than a few escorts, I spent more time with the Hooboy than anyone on these message boards. We spent time together on 4 different continents and in a variety of places. We had a blast together. Hooboy ran the Male4Male Escort Review site which split off into this site and Daddy's site after his death. During its peak, Hooboy was making a great deal of money from many sources. When I owned an escort agency in NYC, I paid handsomely for banners on his site but so did many others. When he convinced me to retire and start traveling more, we spent a great deal of time with finances and he was making well over 20k per month from one vendor alone. That was the reason when he died that so many people were so interested in trying to take his site away from his estate without the knowledge of the family. It would have been easy to do had I not interfered and offered a tremendous amount of money to the executor of his estate. I offered it as I knew I would get a good return on my investment. Daddy and I both started sites after Hoo died but neither have been the same as the original site. Hoo's was the best and made the most amount of money. But, even during its heyday, Hoo would ask for donations. I am not sure why he did that but it was something that many people wanted to do. Once they found out they had been duped all those years, many left with a very bad taste in their mouth for donations to any site. Understandably. I do not know how much Daddy makes. It is not my business and I do not care. But, many of the old timers know what these donations are often used for and prefer not to give. However, I have the opposite advice. If you get value from his site and you wish to pay him for his services, please help him. I think it is good use of money. Do not consider it a donation as much as a present. If you look at it that way, you will not be upset in the end. For many on these sites, money is no issue and they do not mind helping out the owner of the site. That is very thoughtful and should not make anyone feel bad for donating. Please give to him if you have the ability and want his site to continue but don't think it is a donation to a charity case as much of a gift for someone to live a live they enjoy. While you are at it, I am really in need as well. I saw Justin Beiber and Orlando Bloom were in Ibizia. I'd love to go there but the ticket is 9,000 (business of course) and my hotel is 1k per night. 12 nights would be sufficient for me to have a good time and recuperate from my surgery this week. (yes I had surgery and can provide proof of that for any party interested in making a donation) However, I can't provide receipts of the 21k as I might spend a bit of that on a few escorts being the whore that I am. Please send this money to $#%^@#$^$#@mac.com Western Union OK. Paypal OK. CC OK. Cash better. USD or Euro only.

Aye, there's the rub! Or, as you say, precisely not.

...but in reality... ...from the eternal subtext... Star Trek: The Original Series Regular Characters edit He's just like you - and he's the captain! James The Kirk edit To get the nucleus of the character of Kirk, you have to look at his slight paunch. Roddenbury was insistent that the Captain of the Enterprise should be a man who the audience could engage with and as such he insisted Shatner looked like the kind of guy who is a sexy beast, the kind of guy who could sleep with more women per year than every other man in the history of the world has only thought about having sex per year (and this counts just thinking about the possibility of having sex). Though Vulcans naturally have six fingers, tight budgets meant that Spock's back-story included his middle finger's loss during a miss-timed death-grip. To indicate he had a finger missing Nimoy had to constantly hold his hand in this uncomfortable position. This is undoubtedly why he wishes others to, "Live long, and 'prosper'." However, in an attempt to humanize the image of the actor (William Shakespear) they subsequently had Kirk sleep with only some women on the show so all other men on the planet can not be threathened by his supreme awesomness. Spock edit Often referred to as Kirk's "shipboard wife", the character of Spock was, in fact, based on the little known, and exotic (to most Star Trek fans) gender, "women". The writers were strongly influenced by their disinterested and disdainful wives who would regard their husbands every action as, "Illogical!", "Watching grown men chase a ball around a field!", they would protest. Plans to have an alien race in the series called "Women" was overruled by the only member of the production staff not under the influence of some particularly potent Skunk. This overruling was never challenged, because most Nerds seldom encounter "Women", so are not fully aware of their existence. Instead they settled upon the compromise of having a race in which both genders would act in a similarly, irritatingly logical manner. Being a Vulcan, Spock apparently experiences a state known as the Pon Farr, but for reasons of some possible hormonal abnormality, seems to be trapped in it permanently. Though, he won’t talk about it... to anyone... at all. “Leave me alone! We do not discuss it with off-worlders.” Instead, he is obliged to sneak around demonstrating it, at every available opportunity, to almost any female who manages to avoid Captain Kirk. When not emerging from these well timed, romantic, musical interludes (generally, following a commercial) he spends much of his time: weeping, moping, throwing objects in rage, incensed with indignation, exploding in bouts of hysteria, sulking, laughing, crying, smirking, or smashing things in anger, when not murderously attempting to asphyxiate a close friend. Aside from this, he appears to have an amazing degree of control over his emotions. Spock is the most beautiful life form in the whole universe (that's a fact!) Doctor McCoy edit Known as 'Bones' because of the fused and individual bones supported and supplemented by ligaments, tendons, muscles and cartilage that go into making up his skeleton, Bones has no medical knowledge whatsoever due to technological advances making such skills redundant. He simply follows instructions given to him by moving triangles on the wall of his sick-bay. His pronouncements of "He's dead Jim" given during away missions, are the guess of an amateur or prompted by some special hand held device. His primary duties are to loiter on the bridge, to lean on the railings, and to be an annoyance and impairment to command procedures. Doohan's two-week spell in solitary confinement proved an extra headache for script-writers. Welshy edit Convicted murderer James Doohan played the role of Montgomery Scott, the ship's chief engineer. Doohan was considered too dangerous to interact with the other actors and thus all his scenes were filmed in his cell in the West LA Correctional Facilty, decorated to look like the engine room. The set eventually had to be digitally added, because Doohan kept killing his guards with the styrofoam walls in his eager bids at freedom. He eventually escaped and went on a murder spree in which the only connection between the victims was that they were wearing red shirts. Foreigners edit Lt. Uhura Still from rejected 1970 Trek spinoff pilot, deemed "ill-conceived" by NBC. Renowned racist Roddenberry insisted on having ethnic minorities in the Star Trek crew so as to give them nothing of any use to do, thus reinforcing the stereotype of lazy foreigners. So underused were the characters of Sulu and Chekov, they were both replaced by mannequins in the third-series. The only line they would ever utter in this final year was the pre-recorded 'Aye Aye Captain'. Nichelle Nichols broke ground by being the first actress to appear in a sci-fi series with a 'disconnected ear'. Nichelle's right ear was chopped of in a bread-slicing accident weeks before filming commenced; this forced her to play the part of Uhura whilst continuously holding her ear in position allowing her to hear her colleague's lines. Unfortunately, this meant she was recast from her intended role of futuristic African sex slave to that of Telephone Operator. 1960's serial killers 'The Tennessee Two' are executed by robot probe Nomad. Red Jumper Row edit Reece Binspoon of Utah, convicted of the old first-degree, was the first man in the USA to be executed for real on a prime-time television drama. An initiative of Roddenberry and the American Government, men from death-row would be executed whilst playing minor characters on away-missions. Such executions were not compulsory; Death Row inmates had to volunteer to have their death recorded as part of a Star Trek episode. "Nobody can forgive these people for the crimes they have committed," Roddenberry said at the time, " but in having their life taken for the entertainment of an American audience, at least they are giving their victims families some comfort." Amnesty International refused to campaign against this practice stating, "Whilst we understand why some consider this barbaric, the first consideration is how the execution serves the narrative of an episode." Guest Stars edit A variety of guest stars appeared to make the series seem more realistic. Most were former sex partners of Gene Roddenberry and his horses. For many, it became the line on their resume they usually highlighted and put three exclamation points after. Ricardo Montalban used it to break out of his Latin-lover stereotype and progress to roles as Sikh-lovers. Michael Dunn's growth as a thespian was stunted because his toga was needed for alien women's clothing. Diana Muldaur spring-boarded her career by guesting twice on Star Trek. This led to many roles on NBC Mystery Movies and, to the chagrin of Trekkie redheads, the sexy second-season doctor on ST:TNG, Dr. Pulaski. Maria, her child fathered by Roddenberry, sang Midnight at the Oasis but nothing else worth mentioning. Roger C. Carmel was hired thrice to characterize Harcourt Fenton Mudd, including his more lifelike portrayal on ST:The Animated Series. Julie Newmar's stunning performance in Friday's Child led most people to believe she was even weirder than her Catwoman character made her look. John Drew Barrymore's failure to show when contracted to play Lazarus broke his family's heart and led to his subsequent years as a pious monk. As Elaan of Troyius, France Nuyen confirmed rumors that Vietnamese men had a chance with French women. Quite a few has-been actors were lucky enough to be cast on the sequel shows. John Colicos reprised his role as Kor, a war-mongering Klingon-Canadian. Mark Lenard came back as Sarek although he'll always be most famous as Aaron Stempel on Here Come the Brides. Michael J. Pollard, however, was unwilling to play a child on ST:Voyager. Ron Howard's goofy-looking brother Clint portrayed a goofy-looking American on ST:DS9. Majel Barrett Roddenberry's voice, of course, was used as the voice of each of Stephen Hawking's wives. Her Lwaxana Troi character on ST:TNG won a Saturn Award in the category for Best Captain-Tease. http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series

THANK YOU !

PT, I tried to say that, and meant to say that, but I dont have the finesse and clarity that you do. My thermometer reaches BOILING much too quickly. THANKS

Lucky, you have sung this song before, not only here but over There..... You can surely make your exit Without singing !

I don't get it. You people come over here, because you don't have a place to play right now. You don't like 1 person here, and demand his removable by ownership. The infighting over there is much worse than it ever is here. Are you just bored and lonely and bring this stuff over here till you get your playpen back. Things have been quite pleasant here, till this thread showed up.

...nor coprolite, nor coprophage!

Corywhoever, I walked away from Daddy's site because of his Nazi regime and his power-hungry members. that site didnt improve once I was gone, it fact it stayed the same piece of Restrictive crap it was while I was there, with all the same crazy members fighting to be its top-dog.... As for bullying, look up the definition. you are clueless. And as for respect, I give it when it is EARNED. If Draker is gonna come over here, be disruptive and execute his Agenda, then you bet your ass I will respond. I never throw the first stone, but if you look for a rock fight, you will get one. The sitting quietly and obeying shit just dont work for me. Call me crazy, but wasnt it Lucky who constantly said if Daddy didnt ban me, the site would fail ? Or maybe it was Glutes. But truth be told, the site failed without me ! As for THIS site, I leave it to Oz to take whatever action he deems necessary. He is a great judge of character, knows mine and can probably see thru yours.... Writing Mods in private requesting they take action against members is so "Daddy site" behavior. I guess you are just another "casualty" of that failed endeavor ?

Well! I had never thought about cat scat. But this cancer research looks promising. Good news.

looks like great fun. Thanks for the pics

I was being very positive! I didn't say corpse, cadaver, carrion, compost...

I must say, that this has been the MOST entertaining days..... All it takes is a little "Crazy" to liven up a party.... And I have to admit, I even had to take my Heels off for this one ! In keeping with the positive spirit, I must thank Draker and Lucky for their un-selfish contributions to the festivities... although some fancy butter cookies would have been nice too.... "And now I, have Had, the time of My Life, it Never felt like this Before, Yes I swear, it's the truth and I owe it ALL to You "

You know what they say about shit always floating back up to the top, right ? And we get 2 turds in ONE week...

P.S.

Oy Vey

Just as a reminder, I re-read the whole thread. I don't think I learned anything new except perhaps that 9 is 50% of 16 plus one. 8 being 50% of 16 + 1 = 9. Generally the only ban I am in favor of is the bahnhof. Best regards, RA1

Look, every time there is a meltdown on the other site, one escort or poster comes over here to decry how horrible we are to not be more supportive and to stir the pot. The first time this happened was when the site started. The escort in question revealed things on the site that he got from admins of another site. It may have just been coincidence that he decided to post them here but the ending result was new posters would see the passion that many on the site have about both sites. The same thing happened during the great meltdown. The same thing is happening now with one poster trying this darnedest to stir the pot and constantly keep bring up things so that the threads progress in a negative way. I'll call this the Karl Rove of the escort boards. Why? The playbook is always the same. The results are always the same. Maybe I am over reading things. But, when a duck walks like a duck and has web feet and a bill, I often think it is a duck.

As previously reported, neither did I. Best regards, RA1

Jacked off three times... sniff. Probably too busy again today to arrange something.

There is no need for you to apologize for anything - you have done nothing wrong. Certainly, you should not stay away as you said you plan to do. If someone does not like what you post, just remember what Aesop wrote, "Please all and you will please none." I like your posts and I find them very entertaining. -

I learned that, as soon as the site is working without a hitch, OZ will decide to upgrade it.

I learned that OZ will wait until everyone has stopped posting in a thread, and then close it.
