"Lawyers for Mr. Strauss-Kahn said Monday that they believed the forensic evidence would be inconsistent with a “forcible encounter.” So they want the public to believe that this African immigrant was so taken with the lovely attributes of this French pig that she threw down her mop and willingly had sex with him? It must be his kissable lips:

Lurker's report does have the bf and I reconsidering our planned trip to Rio. Thailand is still a bargain and those 5 stars hotels can be found for $100 or so on Priceline.

Well, come on over!

So you are saying that I could fly over to Thailand tomorrow, and be in bed with this guy the next day? Whew! Where's my passport?

Reminding us how important we are in the scheme of things, this article from the NYTimes gives some perspective: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/19/science/space/19planets.html?_r=1&hp Is the galaxy full of orphans? Astronomers said Wednesday that space is littered with hundreds of billions of planets that have been ejected from the planetary systems that gave them birth and either are going their own lonely ways or are only distantly bound to stars at least as 10 times as far away as the Sun is from the Earth. There are two Jupiter-mass planets for each of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, according to measurements and calculations undertaken by an international group of astronomers led by Takahiro Sumi, of Osaka University in Japan, and reported in the journal Nature. “It’s a bit of a surprise,” said David Bennett, a Notre Dame astronomer, who was part of the team. Before this research, it was thought that only about 10 or 20 percent of stars harbored Jupiter-mass planets. Now it seems as if the planets outnumber the stars.

Hmmm, let me think this through. I am in Thailand, surrounded by cute guys, many whom would be in my bedroom in an minute if just asked. So, what am I thinking of? Boys in Spain? Nah. I'm thinking of real Thai men and lining myself up to get one right now. You can't fool us Oz!

Having seen the daughter of Sonny and Cher grow up in the public eye, it is a little hard to accept that their little girl is now a guy. I know we have to accept people as they are, and Chaz says that this is what he is- a man. But it isn't that easy. Maybe it's a product of my age- wouldn't that be horrible. (He's on Mario's show right now.) Now I realize that Chaz doesn't care what I think, that my opinion amounts to nothing. But seeing him shave, and then listening to him talk, I do at least see the struggle he has had, both growing up in public as well as making this huge transformation into the person that he wants to be. It can't have been easy, so for that alone I admire him. I can't say that I would date him, but then, I wouldn't date Sonny or Cher in their prime either. I've only known one person in my life who was born with both genders. He had a horrible time of things growing up, especially with his dad, who wanted a real man. Well, many surgeries and tons of testosterone later- he got one. By then it was too late. BTW- Be sure to check out the Sonny Bono statue when you visit Palm Springs.

You mean I will be over 100 when I get the hang of it?

Many mornings I wake up stiff, and finally I saw a doctor about it. He looked into the situation, and said that yes, I was indeed stiff. He recommended medical marijuana to loosen me up, but no, he himself was too chicken to write the letter needed under California law. But I did get the letter, and now am a medical marijuana patient. I used to use the product some years ago, also when I was stiff, so I thought, well, whoopee. But if getting high on mary jane was like dynamite back then, it now feels more like a pack of C4 explosives. A couple of bites on a brownie and I was flying for ten hours. I hated it. I wanted my mind back. Smoking it isn't so great either, as the harshness on my throat is brutal. So I use it much less than I thought. As for the pain, one friend was right. He said it doesn't stop your pain so much as it distracts you from it. So, if you get an invite from me that says BYOMM, it means bring your own medical marijuana. The stuff ain't cheap. And I ain't so stiff in the morning!

It is redundant to say "HIV virus." What do you think the V in HIV stands for? It is redundant to say "HIV virus." What do you think the V in HIV stands for?

Lurker, thanks for continuing the reports...from both of us!

In Rio, I usually eat a big breakfast, then an early evening snack consisting of huge sausages, followed by a late night dinner at that place whose name I can never spell..Corujinha's or something like that. Their pizza is good. The money I save on lunch goes to impoverished young men.

Lookin will be holding his first class on how to be a perfect poster on Memorial Day, in the backroom of the ***** Bar on Polk Street in San Francisco. RSVP! BYOMM!

Following the raving success of the song, So Lucky, Eurovision obtained an interview with me to broadcast "at the earliest opportunity." I can tell you now, confidentially, that I reveal two important facts in the interview. One: Contrary to rumor, I am not running for president. Two: I can reveal now that, yes, I am gay, joining a growing list of celebrities making the bold announcement. It does surprise me that Eurovision has not led their evening news with these blockbuster stories, but you know what they say about Europeans. They are not always so lucky!

I'd take Don over Anderson any day.

The best thing to do is just ignore it. You have an ignore button that you can use so you won't see his posts. Please remember that this situation aside, you are among friends. We like you and want you to have a good time in Rio. And, of course, we want to hear about it! (To find the ignore button, click on your drop down list next to your name. Then click on settings, then click profile, and the ignore button will be one of your choices.)

I am not asking you to leave. There should be room for all of us. All I am encouraging is quality over quantity. I was distressed at what you said, and I was distressed that someone told lurkerspeaks not to post. I do recall that on a number of occasions at the other site you claimed you weren't going to post anymore, so I am not too worried that you will leave. I do wonder what your interest is, given that you don't hire escorts and are recently married. But it is your choice to post here and I am not telling you not to.

You are no doubt serious in your remarks, so I take it that you endorse hitoall telling a new poster to "stay away from us." I about gagged when I read what he wrote. Who is he to say that in the first place, and who is he to speak for "us?" We need new posters, people who actually have something to say. So we have him telling someone to stay away, then another telling lurker speaks to stop posting about his trip. Not a good day for MER. If you want to support this, fine. But I was shocked by it, and I can't imagine a new lurker coming in if he expects to be told to "stay away" by someone who himself is quite recent. As I said when our posts crossed, if someone has something to say that is intelligent or witty or interesting, then fire away. Don't just post any crap that comes to our mind if you want this site to attract anyone looking for some interesting conversation.

Can you imagine how a ladyboy would do on American Idol?

Maybe she was waiting until son Patrick was of age and she could feel that she had done her job to make sure he didn't become like his father!

If people post something that is witty, intelligent, interesting, or even just one of the above, then I hope they post a lot. Monopolizing a board with inane comments is tolerable only because there is an ignore button, which I do use on occasion. Lookin doesn't post a lot, but when he does, I read it. We need more of that. Wouldn't it be best to known as someone who has something to say, and only speaks when he does? God knows I have posted some wasted comments, so I am tolerant, but only to a point.

Holy Christ! I can't imagine someone would send you a private message like that. I have told you that both the bf and I are enjoying your posts immensely. Yes, we are shocked at the high prices, but mainly because we have tickets to Rio later this summer. So I am interested in those subjects. I have been to the Sequeira Grill many times and it has always been good and economical, but if no more, I want to know. So please don't stop telling us of your adventures. At a time when so much inane posting is occurring, your posts have been a warm change.

300 baht! I can only imagine what a Red Bull would cost. In Brazil, that's what all the boys seem to want at the saunas, and it quite expensive too.

Vietnam is not Thailand. It is a communist country, and, as such, any pay to play action would be considerably hidden. I found nothing of interest when I went to Saigon. The few bars listed as gay-friendly appeared quite straight to me. If you find anything, please let us know.

Please know that your reports are being avidly read by the bf, who never reads the message center. Hey, I am reading them too! Expensive place!
