There were 44 in my class, so we knew each other well. Since I came out, only one of them ever contacted me again, and that was to get me to come to a reunion. I didn't go.

Thanks, JKane, for providing that link. I sent them this: Comments: Your refusal to listen to over 600,000 customers on the Donald Trump issue is insulting. You are alienating customers like me by keeping your association with this dimwit.

What? You don't think his 38 year old abs look like that?

Theater critics can be harsh, at times, and why not? Some shows suck. WSJ critic Terry Teachout did not like the new Broadway musical The Performers, starring the studly Cheyenne Jackson, who plays a porn star. My first clue on this was the remark: By intermission I was positively panting for a nude scene, though I would have settled for a cyanide capsule. And, if that were not enough, he concludes his review by saying: You get the idea? That "The Performers" is being done on Broadway is a mortal insult to the intelligence of anyone who ventures within 20 blocks of the Longacre Theatre. We're talking major, major awful here, a surefire candidate for the What-Were-They-Thinking Prize of 2012.

Once while in Bangkok I went to a bodybuilding contest being held in a suburban shopping mall. Nothing gay or escorty about it, but I got to see the guys up close and they were quite friendly and enjoyed being admired. The cab driver going out there insisted on a flat fare of 600 baht. On the return the guy used a meter, so the fare only reached 150 baht. Thailand!

I'll bet Phoenix is hopping tonight! Happy birthday, lurkerspeaks.

Well, golly gosh, it sure couldn't be me he is talking about. After all, he promised Oz to stop haranguing me here. I let him have the last word in an attack on me, and he told Oz: "With all due respect TOz, I have said my piece and am now done with it. You may delete my post if you choose. I will respect the goals of your site." And it couldn't be because has no "likes" because he does. So, I guess we can blame someone else for lacking quality. Is it Oz, Lord?

For you, hito: SPECIAL TO THE SEATTLE TIMES

LUKAS RIDGESTON of Bel Ami fame is making a return to porn according to Manhunt Daily: "Lukas Ridgeston will be returning to Bel Ami to celebrate the occasion. There’s no word as to who his scene partner will be or what the scene will be involve (threesomes? twins?), but it’s guaranteed to be one of the most highly anticipated gay porn events of 2013. (I found this at wickedgayblog.com. They say that the picture is recent.)

It wasn't enough to get anyone killed, but 22 waiters at legendary New york steakhouse Sparks thought that a manager was illegally grabbing their beef over an 8 year period. Complaints resulted in bad news for the complainees as the manager continued his high-calorie diet. Now Sparks Steak House, where Mafia boss Paul Castellano was gunned down in 1985 is paying out $600,000 to the aggrieved men. The restaurant must also institute new anti-discrimination and harassment policies, along with a no-shoot-to kill zone. Hopefully the buttocks and genitalia of the wait staff are now safe. 16% of the complaints of sexual harassment at the EEOC are from men. Read more:http://www.nytimes.c...assment.html?hp

You would present a real risk. If just half the guys whom you think are cute voted for you, it might be a landslide!

I am Adam Vomit's brother, Nolan Vomit, usually shortened to No Vomit.

I offer no opinion on that! Several of Lookin's likes have been from me.

LurkerSpeaks has every right to be proud of his 215 likes! EXPAT leads with a virtually unpassable 630, then Oz with 238. In the 100's are Four Aces at 158, lookin at135, Adam Smith at 133. I am slightly ahead of Tampa Yankee, who has 100 to my 117. Reminder: Giving a "likes this" costs you nothing! You have the power to put Adam Smith ahead of lookin with just a few clicks!

My trip to Vietnam started with Ho Chi Minh City, then a flight to Ca Mau in the Mekong Delta, where we took a boat ride to the very southern tip of Vietnam. Some of the tiny villages we stopped in on that boat ride were none too happy to see Americans. But people in HCMC were friendlier. I liked the city and enjoyed seeing places I had only read about. Our hotel, The Palace (which was not) supposedly had a pretty gay disco, but you couldn't prove it by what I saw. However, gay guys there, I am told,often go out with girls and then cozy up to guys as the evening goes on. It's not too good to be an out gay there.

Did the Obama administration want General David Petraeus out at the CIA? The Wall Street Journal suggests that Petraeus had the CIA at loggerheads with other agencies over the Benghazi attack in Libya, could not get along with his CIA staffers, and, with the affair scandal, was no longer a threat to run for president,which was the main reason Obama put him in the CIA position in the first place- to get him out of the running, which he would presumably do as a Republican.

Adding just a touch more femininity to his name, our own Ms Guy may just be the singer behind this racy tune: I missed his earlier career with the Toilet Boys. This edited Wikipedia entry may provide the proof that Miss Guy is MsGuy! Toilet Böys are an American rock and roll band from New York City, USA. The band's original line-up is made up of Ms Guy, Sean Pierce, Electric Eddie, Rocket, and Adam Vomit. Wikipedia

I heard that their court flings were all wrapped in plastic.

Hito so wants to play ball with the general. Would you like to be Holly?

TMZ and other media report: It's unclear why the accuser suddenly changed his story ... but sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... the accuser's attorney had been meeting with Clash's attorney as recent as an hour ago, discussing a financial settlement and 6-figures were on the table.

I've never cared for the heavily muscled guys. The guy I posted above was about as muscular as I want, like these guys: I have lovely video of the first guy doing a posing routine.

Having seen Bangkok traffic at its worst, I would have been leery of making such a trip from the airport. but, your adventurousness served you well. I had a chance to do a nine hour layover in Beijing, which was tempting just to take a bus tour of the city, but again I chickened out. I don't want to miss that flight home.

My subscription to the WSJ expired a month ago, but they are still delivering it. I wrote them and said I would gladly renew for $99 a year. I await their response, since they are giving it to me for free now.

I've never seen such a hairy tiger!
