Lucky

A welcome from matrix is a thing to cherish. I have no doubt that it is really sincere and that he is happy to have you here. That said, why do you care if he wants you here or not? You have as much right to be here as he does. We have done a pretty good job of co-existing here and I hope it continues. You do not need to apologize for something that happened elsewhere...that's what TY means by fresh start. I think!

I think I will be clicking image to enlarge all night.

Obama conned the nation into electing him, Gingrich says, and is ruling the country as a 1950s Kenyan tribesman would: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2010/09/12/2010-09-12_former_speaker_newt_gingrich_barack_obamas_election_a_wonderful_con_president_di.html

Gosh, doit, if I let one poster get to me I wouldn't be posting anywhere!

So where is the link to his new ad?

LOL...you're welcome. I enjoyed the crashes too.

How does Obama view this question? From his hiding place behind the couch!

I'd prefer to focus on how well we have it here these days rather than on what is happening at some other site. If that doesn't work for you, well, maybe this will:

Good call, Matrix. Number 4 especially.

It only rates about 1 and 1/2 stars, but the movie I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is really pretty funny, and it has one of the greatest movie scat scenes ever! Cute Matt Czuchry needs to shit, but his girlfriend has stuffed the hotel room toilet, so he goes in search of one in the lobby,and, well, it is very gross yet very funny, in a scatological way, of course. Plus he is really cute and you see lots of him! So, if you don't want to watch the whole movie, go about one hour and twenty into it to see this scene. If you laugh, tell me. If you don't, well, sorry!

Yes, the Texas Rangers, with former owner George W. Bush and his lovely wife in attendance- at least until the rain delay. God Bless America was sung by a barbershop quartet! In San Diego when I went they had Lea Salonga singing both the national Anthem and GBA.

I am glad to wait another year for the tenth anniversary. It gives us some time to rephrase the narrative on all of this...not that we will.

Oz, thanks for trying! Stick with me long enough and I will make a baseball fan out of you. The bf hated baseball when I met him, now he yells at the screen like the rest of us! Whipped guy, I may have to leave today's game to you. In California it falls during serious Sunday brunch time! Maybe I can tape it. I do predict a Yankee win today.

Not speaking the language in Thailand will make you equal to just about every other farang there. So they really appreciate when they see that you have made some effort to learn basic phrases. As for spending, your mileage may vary. Oz probably, and I say probably, spends more than I would. But at $100 a night for a hotel, and $100 a night for entertainment, and $50 a day for the rest, well, it is doable!

Really, why dredge up this old quote from a dead bigot on 9-11?

One might think that it would be an advantage to live in California, so that when the Yankee game goes into long extra innings, as it did last night, or has rain delay, as it did tonight, the California fans can stay up late to watch while the New York fans have to hit the sack. But, in both cases, it would have been better to sleep through the ending of the games as the Yankees lost 6 to 5 in 13 innings and then threw away a heartbreaker as superstar Mariano Rivera didn't seem to know how to pitch tonight. With the bases loaded he hit the batter...unfuckingbelievable! Rivera just does not do that. To make it worse, the series is ballyhooed as a playoff preview ,with Texas and New York both leading their divisions. One can only hope that the Yankees will get their game face back before the playoffs. One consolation- a Tampa Bay v. Texas playoff would have some of the hottest players in baseball teeing off against each other. Ian Kinsler, for starters! Go ahead, say Josh Hamilton! (Non-baseball fans are encouraged to ignore this thread!)

One thing I won't be doing tomorrow is burning Korans or even reading them. I've always felt that if we expect to stop Muslim extremists, our biggest allies in the battle will be the non-violent Muslims who believe their religion is one of peace. What's hard for me about that is my failure to understand how they can believe what they do, and how they can subject women to such second, or even tenth class treatment. But try we must to get along. I don't understand Mormon beliefs either, but I would have no trouble having a Mormon friend. On September 11, 2001, I was living in New York. I watched as people applauded firefighters, I saw the debris scattered all over lower Manhattan, and, of course, I was glues to my TV in those early morning hours. The spirit of togetherness that swept New york that day and for some time after will always be remembered. But, as time goes on, politics seems to take over the commemorations. I don't like that.

Oh, say does that star-spangled dick yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

The media reported this week that an increasing trend is bad teeth. Well, at least gapped teeth. It seems that perfect teeth no longer set you apart from others, as everyone has them these days, so why not go for the gap in between the front teeth? http://ideas.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/10/fashionably-bad-teeth/ This makes me wonder, with the popularity of photos of male beauties here and on other websites, if we are doing ourselves any favors by constantly bombarding our eyes with images of male perfection. I, for one, like looking at these photos, but the cumulative effect seems to take me out of the realm of reality. These beauties are nowhere to be found in my daily life. Even living in the big cities, one sees really hot guys all the time, but does that mean that your life changes because of it? Do you now have tea with male models, or hire these perfect beauties to adorn your bed? The fact is that most escorts we see in the reviews have at least one or more flaws in their face or physique. Photoshop does not work on live faces. So why this pursuit of perfection on the forums? I guess because it's fun to look at hot guys. As long as we realize it isn't reality, I guess it is harmless. Now onto the butt of the day...which in reality is not so uncommon. Hot butts are pretty easy to find in real life!

You don't seriously think the Yankees can win the World Series if you only post once a day, do you? I think that they might be whipped guys if you don't step it up!

It was Garbo...as noted in how he signed himself: --garbo the hoo

Life can change so fast.

As the OP points out, opponents of prostitution always link it with sex slaves and human trafficking, failing to point out entirely that gay men tend to put escorts on a pedestal as sex gods worthy of our every desire. Well, some of them! The point being that gay escorts are rarely doing it because they have been kidnapped by evil people and are now working off ridiculous amounts of money to buy their freedom. Those are the bad guys that these do-gooders should be focusing on.

We are talking about a different guy here, as the one I saw definitely was naked!

Actually, I have seen that a lot on Cam4. I guess it is for those who don't want to be defined by their age. There are plenty of guys surfing Cam4 for underage kids it seems. (And by that I mean to weed them out.) Last night one Danish kid had to hurry up and stop, covering himself quickly when his father spoke to him from outside the room. That caused an immediate flurry of inquiries as to his age, which he had listed as 18. In my experience there are surfers there under 18, but few actual guys on camera who should not be.
