Lucky

Anton, thanks for joining in and adding to the conversation. I/we appreciate it, and would hope to see you here more often.!

We can have a million on line and it doesn't matter- unless they post, or at least some of them. Just as I said yesterday, people come here and want to see interesting things to read. But lurkers, by definition, don't post anything.For them, it's a one-way street. I write for the other guys here who actually post. If a lurker likes what I post, honor that by posting something yourself!

Well, frankly, I wonder if Four Aces has left this world. I can't imagine him not responding to a note from me!

I only hire escorts who can wear the badge!

So if you bring some rough trade to your room, does that make you a diamond in the rough?

Yes, I know I said I wasn't going to start any new threads in the Pub for awhile. But that was to encourage others to do so. But wow, I have never seen the place so quiet. Not a single peep in the Pub today. Not good guys. When folks come* here they want to see some new stuff to read. If there is nothing, they may not hurry back. So don't make folks think the place is closed. Start a new thread! * meant in the traditional sense. No one really cums here!

You mean this one? Sears penis

Three of us joined a packed house to see The Help this afternoon, and we all liked the movie. I decided that the critique I posted above is off base. For one, people are going to see this movie, and it has a message that is still good today. In Palm Springs, there is an apartheid with the Mexican people living together and separate, for the most part, from the whites. The Mexicans are the gardeners and the house cleaners, much as the blacks were in the movie. What was interesting, too, is that the audience did not want to leave after the movie. Half of the audience was still seated when I left. As for acting, I thought Minnie (Octavia Spencer) was great, as was Celia Foote (Jessica Chastain). Chris Lowell, as Stuart, was a doll, but I liked Mike Vogel better as Johnny Foote. Chris Lowell (pic not from the movie) Mike Vogel

I can attest that Oz is good company in Thailand, plus he knows everybody and every place!

How odd! My brother just invited me to visit him in Omaha. I said no.

Many a time I have written Oz or Ty to beg them to correct a mistake I made and did not catch before the edit period.

Do I get ten minutes alone with Ralph? Thanks for the nice comments.

Yikes! I see that ten of the threads on the first page of the Hooboy Pub were started by me. I don't like that, as I want others to start threads that thrive. So no new threads by me until my first page count goes down!

The Help gets a devastating critique in today's LA Times: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/the_big_picture/2011/08/is-the-help-hollywoods-latest-liberal-civil-rights-fantasy.html

And more: Cristiano You can meet Rafael Nadal at Macy's New York Herald Square on Thursday, August 25th, at 5 pm. Maybe even wait in line for hours!

Every Sunday I like to look at the NY Times wedding announcements to see who the cutest guy is. What do you think of today's choices? All in fun, right? The Asian: The Caucasian: The Gay Guys:

The bf waited in line for hours at Macy's to get me this poster of Marky Mark, and a signed pair of briefs. He got to shake Marky's hand- the very hand that held his dick and probably got cummed on many times. The poster now hangs in my bathroom, where I see it every day, and never tire of looking at it. So it was a good gift, eh? Like many of you, as a boy I loved looking at the Sears catalog pictures of men in their underwear. They never had bulges though. It took Calvin Klein to restore male virility to advertising. Even as time passes, and it does even for Mark Wahlberg, there are always new men willing to pose in their skivvies for us. For that we are grateful, are we not?

I clicked on the link in his last post and wrote to that blog. Do you have a better address?

I would not recommend waiting to book a New York hotel room until the day I arrived.

"I rarely read non-fictions these days but a movie based on the novel is in theaters so I decided to check the book out." The Help is fiction. My friends raved about the movie so much that we are seeing it this afternoon.

Think of all of those gay guys living in the deeper parts of China who have no chance to be who they are. North Korea too! But in each place there is no doubt someone who is trying, and then there are those who can't hide it very well. It must be a tough life. "The official China Daily newspaper said in 2005 that the number of homosexuals in China came to around 30 million, although it conceded few were willing to acknowledge their sexuality."

The Edison Hotel for $297 a night? I once had a suite there for $125, but my mom had to barricade the door at night as the floor was full of strange characters. We moved to the Marriott Marquis for $159 a night. The Hilton Towers, where I have stayed for as little as $88 a night is now $391. The Hilton Garden Inn is $389, and that's supposed to be a Hilton Jr. Most 3 star hotels list around $300 a night. 2 Stars run about$225. I love New York, but like Rio, my visits there may become fewer.

That remark was not tongue in cheek. Every Sunday pastors implore us to become our better selves. It's perfectly fine with me if someone here wants to do that too. I can always use the reminders.

I had that problem with Air Asia. Nothing would work. Finally, at the last minute and as a last resort, I entered my AMEX number and everything went through the way it should have.

I thought it was funny that the guy did not want what he could have for free. Isn't that the case with a lot of us?
