Sorry I've been MIA lately, took a new job that's been stressful and busy. Have still had time to have some great fun on Craig's List though! Wanted to wish everybody a great and prosperous new year, hope everybody is doing well. Let me know if there's any get-togethers in Hollywood anytime soon!

He has more Crayolas than anyone. Best regards, RA1

Americans will be 'FREE' to travel once the embargo has been officially lifted and our travel limitations have been lifted. Right now US citizens can only legally travel via People-to-People programs. I'm going for a limited week during the latter part of February 2015, and will only be in Havana. I'll be part of a P-to-P specific program. My days will be programmed; my evenings will be free. Right now Yunior, a gay guide who has his information on goggle and bing plans to give me "his gay tour" on my first night there which will be on a Saturday. I've been in touch with him for the past few months; he's excited as well as I, but the only limitation wtih his being my guide is that he does not intervene in my seeking the services of escorts. Right now I am excited about my "LEGAL" trip in spite of the time restrictions. ...was in Cuba in 1998 or perhaps 2000. ...can't remember. ...was at a different place in my life at that time; thus I did not "play with the men" or attempt this sort of extra travel experience.

We will have to wait for MsAnnie to weigh in on this one since this is her neck of the woods..... But, I suspect there's something more like THIS being dropped over there at her condo ???

The river runs deep! Lots of colors in that river, but it is deep and wide. A multitude of colors. I love colors and rainbows and unicorns.

Well, I may be Old School, but for Grandma, nothing says "EAT ME" better than THIS......... and I am more than happy to oblige.

Obviously, that was an imposter, because Grandma Sucky would never be caught DEAD or alive asking for a 3" Wiener.

I learned that, just when you think OZ's past can't get any more colorful, it does.

LOL My preacher always said, "do what you love and the money will follow." I don't think this is what he meant for me. But....

Check out this link: http://avherald.com/h?article=47f968b7 The article at the link says that the pilots were not aware that all four tires had blown out on landing. The pilots continued to the gate as usual. In the above link there is a video that one of the ground workers made of the aircraft smoking its way to the gate. It is difficult to understand how or why the pilots were unaware of a problem given all the smoke generated from the blown tires and the burning rubber. Could it be the pilots were in a hurry to get to 117 or Meio Mundo and did not want to be delayed upon arrival? Just kidding. The article also said that the bare wheels caused some damage to the ground but no one was hurt. The continuing flight to New York was cancelled and the aircraft is still in Rio since yesterday.

I learned the cute kitty meme dates back to at least 1932. It's from a cigarette ad and, no, I don't have the foggiest how a cat in a dress carrying an umbrella relates to cigs.

Sorry to use such language right before dinner

Speaking of whom! (I can never read 'uvula' without thinking the typesetter messed up 'vulva' again. )

So Times Square with its hifalutin ball drop has nothing on us down here below the Manson-Nixon line. Clay's Corner in little old Brasstown, NC... ...has a venerable history of seeing in the new year with a live Possum Drop. The critter is not simply dangled by the neck on a rope, much less tossed unceremoniously from a rooftop, as anyone familiar with this particular marsupial might think more or less naturally in order. Instead, it's housed in a ceremonial box, as shown above, which is gently lowered to the ground come midnight. Animal cruelty? PETA thinks so, and went to court to get the animal back its rights. The NC General Assembly, ever vigilant, responded by carving out an exception to the state's animal protection laws that specifically exempted opossums, in this specific county, at this specific time of year. PETA, predictably, raised a ruckus again, so this year Clay said he would use either a stuffed possum, or possibly a road-kill victim if one turned up. He did observe that, far from being cruelty, the short time the possum spends in the box is actually the opposite -- being likely the only time in its life that it's safe from being run over by a car. Anyway, we Tar Heels anxiously await news and photos of what went down, as it were, at Clay's last night. Meanwhile, coverage of past New Year's Eve goings-on at the fabled joint... Brasstown Brigade readys themselves on the hill overlookin Clay's Corner for the blessing At first we thought it was Rickie Bobbie, but last years Queen brought in the Possum and took a few minutes to strut her stuff Clay adds to the occasion with his infamous jokes Unfortunately, former contestant Miss Donkey Farm passed on this year, her final request was to lye in state at the Possum drop. Once she heard the music, it was a REAL revival No, she's not levitating boys, those are happy feet! The Possumtron show 12 minutes to go! "The Reigning Queen 'Little Miss Brasstown' readies herself before the pageant" She went on to be a Judge in 2006 & 2007 "Close to Midnight" Clay gazes at the big screen and the throngs of people who came to ring in 2005 at Clay's Corner Never say we don't know how to throw a good time! P.S. For this, as everything, there is of course a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/sffdocs2

I'm with you on this one RA1

The "news" reports of this event mentioned PETA but failed to mention that the opossum was not really dropped but slowly and carefully lowered to the ground in a secure, safe cage. If only everyone would treat us humans so well. This reminds me of the turkey drop, now gone, at Yellville, Arkansas where they dropped live turkeys from a second story window. Now I think the drop frozen turkeys which, of course, are a hazard to the spectators. Can we not continue to observe obscure but updated traditions in rural USA which harm neither animal or human (also an animal)? We lose our national and regional identity day by day. Best regards, RA1

Be FIERCE in 2015, Bitches !!!!!!!!!!

Glad to see you back.

First a preacher was born. But, that is another long story. The pimp part I blame on NYC and a straight friend daring me to go fuck a gogo girl when I moved there for law school. He made me go with him to 20 straight strip clubs when I was with him. The moment he left, i looked in the Village Voice and found the Gaiety. I went. Curtains came up. History was made. A pimp in the making was born.

So many childhood memories I could talk about. Just one that occurs instantly, one Xmas we went to my grandma and papi's house all together to find the door busted in. Everyone immediately rushed down a trail behind the house to find the moonshine mill was blown up by the feds. Santa still came that year but the adults were not as happy as they normally were on Xmas!

Well, things do tend to get out of hand when you just let quibbles go.

Limp wristed? OK. Straight? Now those might be fighting words. However, I love my booze in whatever form I can obtain it. Like now. Happy New Year, one and all. Best regards, RA1

Now, I will come to MsGuy's defense when you accuse him of such a limp-wristed way to drink. All of us down here below the Manson-Nixon line take our poison straight. With lead solder.

While we're at it I'd like to give a special shout out to Suckrates for all the hard work he's put in to keep us in cute boys day in and day out. Not to say I don't occasionally have to fight off the urge to tee off on his skull with a Louisville Slugger, but then, what the hell, nobody's perfect, least of all me, and I really would kinda miss him if somebody crushed his head in. Happy Festivus, Suckrates, and God bless.

Muito Obrigado for sharing while holidaying. I most enjoyed reading about your travels and appreciated your having shared them. When you return to Sao Paulo, keep us abreast [at your convenience, of course] about your experiences! This trip was certainly a precursor to the beginning of a new year, 2015,

Comes to think of it, we gots plenty of room round the condo. I'm sure we could put the the boys up for a spell.

A wonderful and successful 2015 to everyone. I will be doing my usual, watching Kathy and Anderson, and yes I'm addicted.

I'll be seeing a new twink on New Year's Day! Bonne Annee!

Hi, my friends. I spent four weeks in Colombia, mainly in Medellín but I visited again Cali and Manizales. As always, one have only to start Grindr, Scruff and those apps to get a lot of messages of (usually) young men eager to meet an older gentleman. Being hairy seems to be a plus. Some of them offer their services more or less openly. Many are just gay guys looking for older people, as it happens in the baths as well. A few ones are ready to accept a couple of pesos to pay the cab, or to have dinner with their newly found friend. Some especial guy, of course, is open to be treated very well... The guys I met there covered all these categories... I rented an appartment in a nice quarter: Laureles (there are to main residential, safe areas in Medellín, Laureles and El Poblado). I paid around 650 euros, which is (locally) quite expensive, but the place was for me OK (with cleanning and fresh sheets and towels every two days). A little bit noisy, since the building is close to an important avenue, but it is located in a very green area, with a big shopping mall at a very short walk. Lots of amt teller everywhere (it is the better way to get cash). By the way, at every supermarket there is a drugstore where Viagra is sale free... I mean, without any prescription. This trip I discovered Fercho Masajes... A male brothel pratically, with good looking young guys for every taste (at 70.000 COP = 29 USD). This is the most similar place to a Brazilian sauna. I add some pics of guys offering their services for $$ #1: masseur at Toby Bath House #2: Alfonso (Prepago Medellín at Hornet) #3: Oswaldo (Fercho Masajes) #4: Andrés (freelance Masseur) But this is just a short selection... Many guys I met are freebies

By the way, I have non American friends who have visited Cuba. The reports they told of the gay night life (and day gay life) made me envious of not being allowed to go there (unrestricted), despite my ability to pay. I do not know what you expect to find while you visit Cuba. Whatever your interest, you should be able to find a great deal of information simply by doing a Google search and entering your item of interest along with the word Cuba.
