Christopher Saikua Chambers RS Tower, 24 Fl., Ratchadapisek, Dindeang, Bangkok 10310 Thailand. Dear Sir/Madam, I am sending you this email and I believe you must have been getting something similar but still seems this is the only best way of communication apart from telephone conversation, but we cannot because there are Bad people in the world and will not recognize the good ones, so I advice you to settle down and read this mail comprehensively and you will know I am for REAL. Well, Barrister Christopher Saikua is my name, I was born in the City of Bangkok but I traveled sometime and I studied in UK , I am a Solicitor. I am the Personal legal representative to Late Mr. Steve Anderson, who used to work with SIAMRAK Company Limited in Bangkok Thailand. Something painful happened on the 21st September 2008, as Mr. Steve Anderson, was traveling from Phuket for a New Year holiday with his Wife and only Son Jerry, Unfortunately, while they were at along Ratchaburi Express Road, they had an accident and they all lost their lives in the event of the Accident. Since then, I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my client's relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. Subsequent to these several failed efforts, I strong-willed to unearth his associations over the Internet to locate any member of his family but for no avail, hence, I wanted to put the announcement on television or news paper but that will alert the bank knows that I don’t know any of his family member and then, they will have the chance to confiscate the fund just like that. Right now, I contacted you to assist in repatriating the Fund. This Bank has waited for me for more than one year now, So they issued me another notice to provide the Next of Kin to late Mr. Steve Anderson, who will claim the US$15 (Fifteen Million United States Dollars Only) in their custody within the next Fourteen official working days as the bank knows me very well, I do visit their office with Late Mr. Steve Anderson, so they all knows I and Mr. Steve Anderson, and they all know that I am his only Attorney and they believe I should know everything about him. Since, I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over more than one year now, I seek your consent to present you to claim the fund as the Next of Kin, to the deceased, so as to enable the Bank transfer the fund into your Account. Upon receipt of the fund, I will either give you an account from another bank where you will transfer my share to me or I will come over to your country to meet with you for the disbursement of the fund, and then you and I will share the money in this order: 60% will be for me, 40% will be for you. I have all the necessary legal documents that can back our claim we may make with the Bank. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a justified arrangement that will protect you from any Breach of the Law. Thanks, as I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely Yours, Barrister Christopher Saikua.

Well, here is where the multitude of pictures posted on the site have some more practical value. These are pictures of young men, young men with hot bodies. Clearly, if you accept the above, these young men did not grow up on healthy Entemann products brought by horse to the Brooklyn bakeries. No, they eat foods made today with guar gum, and xantham gum and high fructose corn syrup, tons of sugar, Propylene Glycol Monoesters, Oat Fiber, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate...AND THEY STILL LOOK GOOD! So every time you see one of those hot young 'uns in a photo shoot, pop a pop'em or whatever they are called, and soon enough you too will look like photo material for Lurker and Zipper!

You know, I realize that the assumption in my thread is that it is the pix that are intruding on the conversations, and that may not be true. It does seem to be more of a gallery forum, but is that because those of us who like to talk are not doing so much of it nowadays? I don't know. The photos are secondary for me, but I know they are not to Zipperzone and Lurker Speaks. And they do find some hot shots. So how about those who like to gab doing more of it?

Would it not be cheaper to keep a dildo collection in each of your favorite ports, rather than lug them from one place to the next?

I guess I shouldn't revive this thread, but, as much as I like pix of hot guys, and as much as I think zipperzone has great taste (Lurker too), moderation isn't always bad. Would the photos hold more value to the viewer if there were less of them? Could we get more discussions going if that again became the focus of the forum? Let's face it, the conversations we were having in August that went to two pages aren't happening any more.

The song billionaire is also featured on the new album by Bruno Mars, mentioned here yesterday to a resounding thud.

HuffPost lets us in on a joke: UPDATE: An Obama administration official tells HuffPost that the White House has 'concerns' about the bill. Challenging foreclosures could become more difficult for homeowners if the president signs a bill that passed through the Senate last week. The little-noticed bill comes at a time when the validity of foreclosure proceedings across the nation have been called into question. The House passed the bill in April, and its brisk journey through the Senate has drawn scant attention, Reuters reports. If signed into law, it would require courts to accept certain documents that have been notarized out of state, streamlining foreclosure proceedings and stripping homeowners of one legal method of challenging a foreclosure. The legislation would come just as a foreclosure validity crisis is mounting: GMAC, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America have admitted to not properly reviewing some of their foreclosure documents. The foreclosure controversies that have emerged in recent weeks throw doubts on the larger foreclosure system. A non-bank entity, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, has been initiating foreclosures, the Washington Post reports, exercising an authority that judges have ruled it does not have. In response to the mounting scandal, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called on Tuesday for an investigation into foreclosure fraud. "This is a very big deal," she told HuffPost. Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner told Reuters the timing of the bill's passage was "suspicious," implying that mortgage companies might have engaged in behind-the-scenes lobbying.

Remember back in the days when you could believe that people in business and government knew what they were doing? The mess in foreclosure documentation is just astounding: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/06/AR2010100607227.html?hpid=topnews

...and you live where? Get a grip, if Trent Lott could fuck Benjamin Nicholas and no one cared, why would they care where Boehner gets his stick dipped?

Beck is a joke. The man is so paranoid he can't go anywhere for fear of getting shot. He wears a bullet proof vest in public. His viewership at FOX is down by almost one million people...every night!

The White House denies it, so it must be true. What would Hillary add as vice-president? Would she help get DADT abolished? Personaly I think that Biden is more liberal than she is.

It's not everyday, or even every year, that a singer comes along who interests me. My taste in music seems to have stopped growing when I was about 30. But yesterday, online, and today in the print edition, the NY Times features singer Bruno Mars, 24, and, of course, it was his cute face that got my attention. But then I watched and listened to the video on is website, with the song Just the Way You Are. the graphics are great, and his voice is like butter. Sure, he is singing to a girl, but one can imagine differently. I do it all the time! So, go to www.brunomars.com and take a look for yourself. (Sadly, like Paris Hilton, Bruno got picked up in Vegas recently for cocaine possession. Damn I hate that drug.)

Yes, I guess they did. With Brazil becoming a more affluent society, I hope that education also improves. That's always been good for gays...hasn't it?

So we are now defined by pink? I thought pink was for breast cancer. Here's another view. I am not saying that it is mine: Forget the Hype - Brazil Is No Gay Paradise Brazzil, Commentary, Luke McLeod-Roberts, Posted: Jun 25, 2005 Review it on NewsTrust Cramped in a tiny office above Rio de Janeiro's central train station, I am having trouble hearing Yone Lindgren amidst the ringing telephones, conversations between the staff, and the construction workers hammering away at the flimsy partition walls that enclose CERCONVIDH- Brazil's first ever referral center for victims of homophobic violence and discrimination. Lindgren is coordinator of this team of 10 dedicated people who give their time, energy and financial resources to make sure that Rio's gay men, women and transgender people are able to pursue their rights as citizens as fully as possible. "We do the work the government doesn't," she says. The program runs a helpline for victims of homophobic abuse, refers victims to psychological and medical specialists and follows through with the legal aspects of their cases. The volunteers also hold fundraising events to ensure that they can continue to provide this service. The service could not be more urgent. National and international human rights organizations such as the Gay Group of Bahia, Global Justice, Amnesty International and the International Lesbian and Gay Human Rights' Commission consistently identify Brazil as a gross offender of homosexual rights, where hatred leads to torture and over 100 murders are reported in the national press each year. These figures may just be the tip of the iceberg of homophobic violence in Brazil. Many cases never come to light because families do not wish their dead relative's sexuality to be exposed; and the everyday violence LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) people suffer is wider and more nuanced than those sensationalist accounts reported by the Brazilian press. According to a study released this week, based on a survey at last year's Rio gay pride march by a coalition of LGBT activists from the Arco Iris NGO, and academics at the Cândido Mendes (UCAM) and Rio State University (UERJ), 64 percent of LGBT people in Rio de Janeiro have suffered some form of discrimination because of their sexual identity. This includes acts as diverse as bullying at school or in the workplace, threats and name-calling from strangers and, as often occurs with trans (transgendered) people, denial of access to public or semi-public spaces such as shops and bars. Similar statistics are expected when the findings of a survey carried out in São Paulo are made public. Rio, and its larger neighbor, are home to some of Latin America's most vibrant LGBT cultures. Last month's gay pride parade in São Paulo brought together two million people, who chanted and danced for over 12 hours on the Avenida Paulista, the city's main thoroughfare, making it the largest gay pride event in the history of humanity. Today the march along the beachfront in Copacabana, Rio, expects some 600,000 participants. These cities, and other state capitals, such as Salvador and Curitiba, are the base of extremely well-organized movements. Anti-discrimination laws and equal work-related benefits for homosexual and heterosexual partners embedded in municipal and state codes, are the result of their campaigning. The proposal for same-sex civil union in the federal chamber in Brasília, the Brazilian capital, would not have reached that stage without the relentless activism of such groups. "There has been an explosion of acceptance here in Brazil recently," says Silvia Ramos of UCAM, pointing to mainstream media indicators such as the landslide victory of an openly gay man in the Brazilian version of Big Brother and gay characters in prime-time soap operas, such as Globo TV's America. "But we don't know whether the guy that beats up a gay is the same one that claims to "have gay friends," or if we are dealing with a society that is split between tolerance and intolerance." That intolerance jars with the popular image that Brazilians hold of themselves and export to other countries – a vibrant and happy country where anything goes, the land of what Brazilian anthropologist Roberto da Matta has referred to as "o homem cordial" (the cordial man). For Sandra Carvalho of the Rio office of Global Justice, this cordiality is a myth. "Brazil is a violent country in terms of interpersonal relations," she says. And the violence is often highly ambiguous: "The police that kill the poor and the black living in the favela (shanty-town) often come from poor, black families in the favela themselves." Any policy that seeks to deal with the crisis of homophobic violence in Brazil then, must not only confront multiple types of verbal and physical violence that scourge the lives of LGBT people, but also, as Ramos argues, take this contradiction or ambiguity around acceptance as its point of departure. But for some members of the LGBT communities, there may not be any ambiguity over societal tolerance in the first place. "We're a joke for the Brazilian society," says Hanah Suzart, President of ASTRA-Rio, the association of transgendered people, which concentrates on STD prevention and building self-esteem in the trans community. To highlight the point, she talks of the "elbow effect": the daily humiliation trans suffer in the shop, the bank or the doctor's surgery, when onlookers nudge each other and comment indiscreetly. The image of Rio as paradise, with the travesti as its ultimate symbol of carnavalesque transgression is a "utopia," according to Suzart. Instead it is "conservative, homophobic, prejudiced and elitist," with a (state) government that "will take us back to the era of the inquisition." Activists see the state government as representing "evangelicals" who don't prioritize LGBT concerns. They have a closer relationship with the federal and municipal governments, the latter of which is supporting the city's pride march. The federal government, for its part, has formed an alliance with LGBT NGOs nationwide by supporting the program Brasil sem Homofobia (BsH) (Brazil without Homophobia). Launched last year, the program aims to train LGBT activists, incorporate material on homosexuals into school curricula and support referral centers in order to overcome homophobia. But some people doubt whether the program, which may look good on paper, will ever become a reality. "The funds were supposed to have been coming for the last five years. The problem is that the federal government made a recommendation and said "faz quem quiser" (whoever wants to do it, go ahead). But local governments don't want to." Luke McLeod-Roberts is a journalist who is in Rio de Janeiro carrying out research for his MA dissertation on strategies to combat homophobic violence in Rio.

Any form of fudge packing should be safe, according to former Prez candidate Mitt Romney.

Who would dare put Lucky in his place?

Some chick is trying to get her 15 minutes of fame by saying she had sex with The Situation. Rather than a one-night stand, she calls it a few minute stand since he didn't last long. And when she talks about his size, well, pinky is the word that comes to her mind. Now it's true that for all his tight clothing one never sees a bulge, but so what? It's not like we will be invited over anyway. My guess is that this girl just got pissed because he didn't call her back! Yes, I read that here: http://poponthepop.com/2010/09/mike-sorrentino-the-situation-has-a-small-penis/

Maybe we could get a good NAMBLA fight going...

Due to the increased number of people viewing the politics forum, management has decided to sell tickets,giving you an appointed time when you can view the posts without having to wait until someone else has vacated the forum. This service will at first be free, but, if demand continues to increase, then a small fee may be added- except for Ralph Woods who always has line priority.

The Republicans gutted the US Treasury while Bush ran the country, they devastated the economy, and now they stand to be voted back into office in November. After 2 years of voting no to very good idea proposed by the Democrats, people want them to be rewarded for all that by returning them to power. I used to care about politics, but how can anyone support the corrupt machinations we see today. And, to top it off, one of the most crooked Republicans is expected to be the Speaker of the house. I take the liberty of copying this column in full since Mr. Herbert would like it read: Op-Ed Columnist That’s Where the Money Is By BOB HERBERT Published: October 5, 2010 NY Times It’s beyond astonishing to me that John Boehner has a real chance to be speaker of the House of Representatives. I’ve always thought of Mr. Boehner as one of the especially sleazy figures in a capital seething with sleaze. I remember writing about that day back in the mid-’90s when this slick, chain-smoking, quintessential influence-peddler decided to play Santa Claus by handing out checks from tobacco lobbyists to fellow Congressional sleazes right on the floor of the House. It was incredible, even to some Republicans. The House was in session, and here was a congressman actually distributing money on the floor. Other, more serious, representatives were engaged in debates that day on such matters as financing for foreign operations and a proposed amendment to the Constitution to outlaw desecration of the flag. Mr. Boehner was busy desecrating the House itself by doing the bidding of big tobacco. Embarrassed members of the G.O.P. tried to hush up the matter, but I got a tip and called Mr. Boehner’s office. His chief of staff, Barry Jackson, was hardly contrite. “They were contributions from tobacco P.A.C.’s,” he said. When I asked why the congressman would hand the money out on the floor of the House, Mr. Jackson’s answer seemed an echo of Willie Sutton’s observation about banks. “The floor,” he said, “is where the members meet with each other.” Mr. Boehner is the minority leader in the House and would most likely become speaker if the Republicans win control in next month’s elections. He has stopped funneling corporate money to his colleagues on the House floor. (It is now illegal.) But nothing else has changed, except that his already outsized influence-peddling has grown. The amount of democracy-destroying money that manages to make its way into the sleazy environs of what is now known as Boehner Land has increased to a staggering degree. The Times’s Eric Lipton, in an article last month, noted that Mr. Boehner “maintains especially tight ties with a circle of lobbyists and former aides representing some of the nation’s biggest businesses, including Goldman Sachs, Google, Citigroup, R.J. Reynolds, MillerCoors and UPS. “They have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to his campaigns, provided him with rides on their corporate jets, socialized with him at luxury golf resorts and waterfront bashes and are now leading fund-raising efforts for his Boehner for Speaker campaign, which is soliciting checks of up to $37,800 each, the maximum allowed.” The hack who once handed out checks on the House floor is now a coddled, gilded flunky of the nation’s big-time corporate elite. When House Democrats were preparing for the first floor vote on financial regulatory reform, Mr. Boehner and other Republican leaders summoned more than 100 industry lobbyists and conservative activists to a private strategy session. One could be forgiven for thinking that behind those closed doors they may not have had the public’s best interests in mind. According to Mr. Lipton, Mr. Boehner told the gathering, “We need you to get out there and speak up against this.” Both major parties have, with great enthusiasm, turned more and more of the government over to corporate and banking interests. But the G.O.P., with Mr. Boehner currently the point person, is fanatical about it, has barely tried to hide its willingness to offer up the government wholesale, no questions asked. Just this past July, Mr. Boehner called for a moratorium on new federal regulations, saying it would be “a wonderful signal to the private sector that they’re going to have some breathing room.” Talk about an invitation to a nightmare. Try imagining how the public would be treated by banks, energy companies, food processors and myriad other powerful entities if the federal government were forced by law to ignore even more of their predations. That’s Mr. Boehner, for you — always willing to stick his neck out for the elite. When it comes to policies of particular concern to ordinary individuals and families, however, his generosity of spirit and passionate willingness to help vanishes. He believes, for example, that Americans who are at least 20 years away from retirement should be unable to receive Social Security before they are 70, and that Social Security benefits should be means-tested. Mr. Boehner and his pals also opposed the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection created by the Wall Street financial overhaul. Protect the public? You must be kidding. The U.S. is in terrible shape right now because far too much influence has been ceded to the financial and corporate elites who have used that influence to game the system and reap rewards that are almost unimaginable. Ordinary working Americans have been left far behind, gasping and on their knees. John Boehner has been one of the leaders of the army of enablers responsible for this abominable state of affairs. A version of this op-ed appeared in print on October 5, 2010, on page A31 of the New York edition.

Not to be persnickety, but if the boy on the left in the first photo is hiking, he is in for some sore feet.

You know that you have become an elite poster when your posts need to be translated!

Now that his 15 minutes of fame are over, and, trust me, i enjoyed every one of them, some singer I never heard of has released her video wherein Levi plays her boyfriend. It's not that he looks awful- unshaven and unkempt, but it's that we don't care anymore! Sorry, Brittani- too late! http://www.eonline.com/videos/v72569_brittani-senser-after-love-music-video.html
