I like Brussel Sprouts and broccoli. Buy them young, small and tender and serve in garlic butter. I like boys like that also, but not too young and I have not yet tried them in garlic butter. Best regards, RA1

I'm tempted to use the phrase "fraco" to describe the complete bust that was Tuesday evening at Sauna Adan. But, applying a Brazilian phrase to this joke feels perverse, and not in the good way. What I expected to be a rentboy sauna was, today, the Bucharest Social Club for elderly and listless Romanian rent boys. I walked in with a pocket full of money and a dick full of hunger. I walked out an hour later, having spent 3 on a diet coke and having spoken to 4 of 8 guys lulling about the place. 3 were actually asleep. Perhaps it was the day of the week or perhaps there is a larger market for big- bellied Eastern European daddies than I had imagined. At any rate, based upon my experience, I would have to suggest that anyone who finds himself in Madrid in search of a sauna experience should take an 100 flight or 75 train to Barcelona!

AAAAAND the thread rounds back to its title topic!

STALKER! I've got a good mind to report you to management!

Several years back, I would have said Varig was the best air carrier for Brazil. However, Varig no longer operates as a named carrier. Varig was merged into GOL. The three main existing air carriers offer pretty much the same fares, depending on when you travel and when you buy the ticket. There is GOL, TAM and Azul. If you book flights on-line and early enough, it is possible to get some very reasonable fares. There is also a bargain that is not often advertised. It is called -TAM and/or GOL Air Pass. Here is a link that explains the rules for the air passes. Depending on your travel desires, it is possible to save a fair amount of money using these air passes. http://www.brol.com/airpass/ As you can see from the link, a minimum of four flights within Brazil must be booked with the Brazil air pass. When I first started traveling to Brazil, I used to buy these passes fairly often. It was a way to see lots of cities within Brazil. The old rules were less restrictive before the present rules were initiated. The new rules with GOL, allow a passenger to see not just Brazil but other parts of South America in addition to Brazil. See the link to learn the appropriate rules for each pass. -

Not so hot for Russia either.

Im heading over to check out Black and White now. I will let you know.

Surely the End Times are upon us. Upon OPEC at any rate? OPEC just kicked oil into the $30s http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/opec-just-kicked-oil-into-the-dollar30s/ar-BBlEuHr?ocid=wispr

I have never liked sauna Adan beginning with my first visit several years ago. I first went there with friends. The employee at the check in counter was incredibly rude and argumentative. After we entered, we were assigned lockers and all. When we went to change into sauna attire, the bizarre employee came out of his office space and began to shout at us to hurry and change and go into the bar area. After we explained to the nut that there were several other clients near our assigned lockers who were changing, he still continued to argue with us about hurrying. We thought is best to continue to wait and allow the other clients to finish changing rather than force our way in between them to change. Our decision to continue waiting angered the employee more. He came back out of his office space each minute to resume the shouting about our hurrying to change to sauna attire. While we were waiting (maybe five minutes), we noticed this same bizarre employee going up to various sauna guys and to other clients demanding that they either move to a different area of the sauna, buy a drink or be expelled from the sauna. We stayed at the sauna for a while but were not at all comfortable in a place where the in-charge employee behaved so badly to clients and to sauna guys. At one point, one of the clients in the sauna came up to us and told us to ignore that "loco" employee. However, it is difficult to ignore someone who repeatedly approaches you and is yelling nonsense at you. On later trips to Madrid, I returned several times to sauna Adan. I was hoping that the atmosphere in the sauna would be different. Although the loco employee was no longer there, each later time I visited sauna Adan, I never felt comfortable nor did my friends feel comfortable. Maybe I am spoiled by the sauna Thermas in Barcelona or the many saunas in Brazil compared to the piece of garbage called sauna Adan. In short, sauna Adan is the only rent boy sauna in Madrid and you have to "take it or leave it" which is what many people do (leave it). What a contrast this place is to the wonderful sauna Thermas in Barcelona. In Madrid, there is an alternative to sauna Adan. The alternative is the hustler bar Black and White that some people report as a problem. I have been there many times and I have never had a problem there. The only negative thing about Black and White is that is does not get busy until midnight or later. In summary: Sauna Adan in Madrid = awful Sauna Thermas in Barcelona = wonderful

Why do Brussels Sprouts make you fart?http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/interviews/interview/1905/
