Lucky

After sleeping with both Johann Paulik and Lukas Ridgeston one night, I decided that I must be Lucky- after all, they were the two hottest porn stars at the time! Now when I say sleep with, what the fact is that we did sleep together. I was in one row on the plane, and they were in another. And, if you are wondering how they look in the morning after a red-eye flight, well, the answer is scrumptious!

StuCotts was last active, at least under that name, on July 31st. Maybe in real life he is a shrink who takes August off from work? I am sure we will be thrilled to see him posting again.

It looks like Calvin had to clean this guy up a bit from his old porn star days! http://gawker.com/5626955/calvin-kleins-underwear-model-boyfriend-also-did-some-gay-porn

And, at this rate, nothing will...

Lucky Calvin. I hope nothing gets between him and his boy toy: More at Gawker.com: http://gawker.com/5625681/the-revealing-pictures-of-calvin-kleins-new-boyfriend-the-20+year+old-underwear-model

Here we are, sitting down at the computer on the 31st of August, I think a bit pleased with ourselves for the fact that we DID accept the Challenge and we DID follow through with more posts than this place has seen in some time. And they were pretty good posts too. Some threads hit double and triple pages, and we even brought some new guys into the posting fold. So what now? Do we give up? Go back to out old ways? I doubt it. I think we all like having a more enthused message center to come to, more and more times each day. What worked best? Responses, responses, responses. We can't get conversations going if we don't respond to the threads that others put up. It's still a challenge to use some discretion- to avoid overloading the front pages with new threads by one person. Too much of that and the conversations we do have going get kicked back to the second page, and those following them may never pick up the thread again. My personal thanks to all for a good month. We don't need Viagra- we can keep it up!

Not much this month from Townsend Locke or even buddy2, who accepted the August Challenge. When we don't hear from guys, we wonder if everything is okay. So drop in now and then and let us know, okay?

Oz, the ass is built on stretchers,just like a vagina. You see those big babies coming out? Well, sometime the ass needs room for a wide-load as well. This is when the stretcher mechanism so wisely designed by Mother Nature comes into play. The sad fact is that most men, even gay men, do not know how to employ their body's own anal stretchers. That's where poppers come in. Poppers help you relax at the moment of penetration, allowing the stretchers to do their job, move aside, open up,and swallow the engorged object seeking to penetrate you. It's as simple as that. With practice, men can expand on their own without poppers. In a nutshell, forget the crap about stretchers. Poppers simply help you relax at a time when most men tighten up.

Did I get the color right?

Inhaling, or, taking a hit of poppers brings a rush of blood to the head, which lends to a few moments of feeling high. If you do this while dancing, a speed effect takes place. Do it while getting fucked, and you ass opens just the way the dentist wants it to, and take a hit when coming and your world explodes.

The issue of poppers and health is pretty important, and the controversy has been longstanding. Gay publications also made a fortune from popper advertising, so they wanted no criticism of it. How could so many gay men like something that was so bad for them? A new concept, eh? Read this review of poppers in Drummer Magazine. The magazine was then sold, and a new article appeared, denying the validity of the poppers criticism. It all depended on who owned the magazine, not the facts. Bruce Voeller, who wrote the second, favorable, article, was a buddy of Joe Miller. Voeller died of AIDS. http://paganpressbooks.com/jpl/DRUMMERH.HTM (For me, the whole controversy has been fascinating as I knew some of the players on each side of the issue, and I also had liked poppers. I never thought that they caused AIDS, but can't say that they are good for you, either. It's the politics of it all that fascinates me, with so much money involved, and, of course, gay men and their pleasures.)

The death of poppers king Joe Miller last week, apparently a suicide, has the media and politicians in Indiana struggling to determine how best to handle it. Miller owned Great Lakes Products, producers of various brands of poppers, and reportedly made hundreds of millions in the process. He established a foundation that gave huge amounts of money to Democratic politicians, and purported to care about people with HIV and AIDS. Yet poppers themselves may have had a great contribution to health problems and death rates, both from AIDS and the combination of Viagra type drugs. So was Miller a gay philanthropist, or a death monger? His controversial personal life also made many skitterish of associating with Miller, who was once arrested on child molestation charges only to see them dropped when the victims refused to testify. Miller's strong personality and looseness with the truth aggravated others as well. He began his poppers career by selling bottles of Rush at the gay night club in Indianapolis. The later in the evening, the higher the price, with a bottle going for $25 at 2 am. Soon after he was bottling nitrates in his bathtub with his partner, who also was a suicide years ago. Miller went on to enormous riches. Read more: http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/

One of the reasons I went to San Diego was to see this show at The Old Globe Theater in Balboa Park (where parking on a summer Saturday night is virtually impossible to find!) Seeing the words "Broadway Bound" at first seemed to be a promising thought, one speaking well of the show. A while later it seemed more of a reminder to the audience that this is really a good show despite what you are seeing- after all, it is Broadway bound! The opening was so cloyingly obnoxious, and the cast so anxious to get their gold star for cuteness, that I nearly reached for the air-sickness bag. (The worst scene in the show was an airplane scene.) There were several bad numbers, several rip-offs of other shows, but, there were three great numbers, and the lead couple was sensational. So how to get rid of the bad stuff before a Broadway run is someone else's problem, but there is promising material there. The best part of the show, one that had the crowd excited out of their seats, was a dance number by the Seven Hoods. No fey chorus boys, these guys were all muscular and stocky, masculine enough to be believed as hoods. They danced an astonishing number reminiscent of the crapshooters dance in Guys & Dolls, which ranks as my favorite Broadway dance number.

CharlieSF is a big tennis player. He picks his partners very carefully, so not sure this guy would make the grade. (Actually, I am not sure they would even make it to the court!)

Thanks- it was a very nice birthday. The bf cooked all of my favorites.

I wish I could agree. Guys like this do so much damage and then expect to be forgiven for it just for the asking. He needs to pay some dues to make up for what he did. I guess he plans to...but until then...

One man's view; Forgiveness Versus Acceptance by: Jerry S. Maneker Clearly, Jesus enjoins us to forgive others for their failings and even their hatred of us, and He does so in many contexts. Indeed, He says that we will be forgiven to the degree that we forgive others. (Matthew 6:14-15) Christians know how far we fall short of God's standards of righteousness. Without His grace, or unmerited favor, to us we could not stand before Him. We know that we don't have any righteousness in and of ourselves; what righteousness we do have has been imputed to us by God. Therefore, we are obligated to forgive others, even those who persecute us through word and deed! Only God is our righteousness, and we all are sinners saved by grace. Hence, if we compare our so-called "good works" all we are doing are comparing each other's filthy rags. (Isaiah 64:6) When GLBT Christians are persecuted, they are in good company! As the verses of Scripture that preceded this article state, those who are persecuted for God's sake are blessed, and we are to realize that few, if any, prophets died in their sleep. They brought a message to the self-righteous that the latter didn't want to hear and the smug, self-righteous, frequently killed the messenger. These messengers were sent by God, as I believe GLBT Christians have been sent, and those who loved, and were embroiled in, the darkness couldn't stand them or their message of truth; consequently, they tortured and killed them. So, Jesus puts it up front: we are to forgive others and indeed even pray for them who despitefully use us. However, I can find no place in Scripture that says that "forgiveness" is equivalent to "acceptance" of those who hate us or in any way pervert the Gospel of Christ! The haters in our midst, in the Church, are usually the legalists who have their own god of do's and don'ts that is antithetical to the Gospel message of grace, faith, peace, love, compassion, and inclusiveness. To accept and embrace them and their false gospel is to commit a grievous sin, in that we thereby tacitly affirm and reinforce their perversions of the Gospel message. In the Christian life, there is no middle ground! We either live in the Spirit or we live by the law. The Christian lives in the Spirit; the purveyors of a false gospel (which is no gospel) live by the law. The Apostle Paul said, "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils." (1Corinthians 10:21) The perverters of the Gospel message, the legalists, those who non-contextually use selected biblical passages to justify their own prejudices against GLBT people, are wittingly or unwittingly drinking and eating from the cup of devils. We are to forgive them! But we are not called upon to accept or embrace them! They are haters and hate-mongers, demonizers, who seek to exclude from fellowship in the Church and from mainstream society those whom they do not recognize as their brothers and sisters. To affirm them by acceptance or embracing, under the false belief that that is what God wants us to do, is to make a tragic mistake. Such affirmation and embracing merely serves to reinforce the false gospel they preach; does God a terrible injustice. If pushed to the wall, I would have to admit that my favorite book of Scripture is the book of Galatians! I feel, as did Martin Luther, who said he was married to the book of Galatians. It is the nugget, the gem, of the New Testament, and cogently delineates the Gospel message, which the books of Romans and Ephesians particularly amplify. This beautiful book hammers home our liberty in Christ! We are not under the law, and if we seek to live under the law we nullify the grace and sacrifice of Christ. Hear Paul: "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ." (Galatians 1:6-7) He goes so far as to say that these perverters of the Gospel message should be "God damned." (Galatians 1:8-9) These perverters of the Gospel are "false brethren" who seek to remove our liberty that we have in Christ and we are not to give place by subjection to their perversions "not for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you" (Galatians 2:5) Paul continues, "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ ... for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." (Galatians 2:16) The leaven that leavens the whole lump of dough is sin and in the context of sin in the Gospel message is the self-righteousness that comes from thinking that one can, must, and does live by the law, simply because he or she adheres to current culturally approved traditions and values thought to be "Christian" in nature. Were you saved by the Spirit or by the law? Were you chosen by God to know that Christ is our only hope or did you think that you chose God? Before the worlds were formed, God chose those He called by name; not because of any righteousness on our part, but for His own purposes to be used by Him. This initiative on God's part is known as "prevenient grace." We tap into this grace solely by trusting God and by so doing we are living and walking in the Spirit, despite our sins; despite the constant warfare between our flesh and our spirit. Our persecutors embrace a false gospel and to the degree we affirm them we are reinforcing their perversion of the Gospel. The Gospel means "Good News." The good news is that God is the Alpha and the Omega; the author and finisher of our faith! Our works are completely irrelevant to the good news, for if we hang our bodies on our deeds, and seek to live up to the law, we nullify the grace and sacrifice of God on our behalf and there is no greater sin than that. "For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse ... But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us." (Galatians 3:10-13) Those who pervert the Gospel message through their preaching of legalism and do's and don'ts, which have absolutely nothing to do with the good news of the Gospel, must be forgiven, but never accepted until they repent and return to the pure milk of the Word of God. Those who preach the law are children of the bondwoman and God says to cast out the bondwoman and her offspring from our midst, as he told Abraham to do to Hagar and Ishmael. "Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free." (Galatians 4:30-31) "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith." (Galatians 5:4-5) Notice, we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by our faith! No one is righteous; righteousness has been imputed to us by God's grace; we nullify that grace by preaching legalism; seeking to live by the law, thereby being judged by the law. We are to forgive the misguided, the haters, the hate-mongers, those who persecute GLBT people and others, but we are not to accept them or their perversions in our lives or in the life of the Church. We are enjoined to show forth the fruit of the spirit which "is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance." (Galatians 5:22-23) And if one is captive to sin, "ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted." (Galatians 6:1) It is those who trust in God's grace, forgiving the failings of others, living lives of faith despite seen circumstances and despite the legalists in our midst, who are "the Israel of God." (Galatians 6:16) As Paul did with Peter when the latter sought to capitulate to the Judaizers, the legalists, who came from James' church to spy out Christians' liberty (Galatians 2:11-14), which was undoubtedly a prelude to the Jerusalem council as depicted in Acts 15, we are not to give place to the enemies of the Gospel of Christ "no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue." (Galatians 2:5) Christians are free men and women in Christ! To the degree that others who have allowed traditions and their own prejudices to justify to themselves and others the persecution of GLBT people, it is to that degree that they must be "withstood to their faces." Of course, forgive them their ignorance and even their hatred! But never confuse that forgiveness with acceptance of them as fellow heirs in the kingdom of God, as they besmirch the name, sacrifice, and grace of Christ by their legalism, ignorance, and hatred. If we do embrace them, we are indeed eating and drinking from the table and the cup of devils!

I will be away for a long weekend, but will try to finish up the August Challenge with a bang when I return on Sunday night. Yes, I am in a better mood, and a weekend away will help even more.

I second that. Life does have to move on.

My fantasy is that this guy is walking towards me!

Would you sleep with this man? Apparently, he won't sleep with you, and he feels"macho" marines wouldn't either: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2010/08/25/2010-08-25_macho_marines_dont_want_to_bunk_with_openly_gay_says_commander.html More: http://www.towleroad.com/2010/08/marine-commandant-marines-may-allow-straight-soldiers-to-live-separately-from-gays-over-moral-concer.html

I posted the derogatory remarks that matrix makes about me so that folks could see in one place what I put up with when I sign in here. Like you I come here to entertain and be entertained, not to be insulted. When I let those insults get to me, I am the one criticized, not the one who has made his purpose here to be my nemesis. In my opinion, I have done a good job here. The place is better than it has been, so enjoy it. It is just pixels in the end, but not entertaining pixels when you face a regular barrage of insults and management does nothing to stop it, until I am the one making the insult. Then suddenly it is wrong and I am called to task for it while matrix skates on, readying his next dig for my next visit. TY says we need the fake daddy and matrix as much as they need me. That's confusing to me. I understand that in the end it is just a website, but you aren't getting insulted each time you sign on. Read the post I made about matrix. How would you like to hear that stuff said about you when you come here looking for fun? If all these insults about me from fakedaddy and matrix, then why are you guys renaming the Pub for me? And, if they are not true, why you haven't you spoken up against them?

The trouble with getting a message center up and running, with good guys contributing and enjoying each other's posts is that bottom feeders come along and have no stake in what is going on, so they feel free to try to disturb things and criticize those who are making the site a success. Matrix, fake daddy, and zipperzone are all examples of people who have contributed nothing but feel free to take all the potshots. It's disheartening to someone who has worked to make the site a success only to be told that Matrix's ongoing criticism of me is not to be discussed or is so funny that Oz has the giggles. It is as it is , I guess.

The fake daddy can come in here and shit all over the place, matrix can be quoted by his own words slamming me over and over, and I am the one who gets criticized here? You've lost me once and for all.

Today the poster known as Matrix posted this: Lucky why are you always trying to provoke people? And please don't tell us that it's because you like to amuse and entertain yourself. You're being an asshole. Not that you haven't had a lot of practice at being one, but someday, someone is going to kick your big ole' faggity ass but good. It's probably a good thing you have your keyboard to hide behind. I would have thought that your public and private backstabbings over at the other site which got you banned for the rest of the year might have taught you a thing or two. Obviously not. * Now I don't deny trying to provoke people, or even challenge them from time to time, but Matrix has contributed all of 72 posts to this site, yet he has set himself up as my moral arbiter. As a matter of fact, the bulk of his posts either criticize the other site or criticize me. Yet I have over 1000 posts here, so who is really contributing to this site? Here are some of Matrix's comments towards me in his 72 posts. Do they seem like he is the one trying to provoke me rather than the other way around? You see Lucky, this is where you get yourself into trouble. You have edited this post four times now. The org post you stated "I took your remarks as an admission of guilt, and still believe that to be true." Then you changed that to: "If this is not correct, then I'm surprised" Then you changed that to: "If this is not correct, then I take your word for it And then finally (as of this post at least.) You changed it to "If this is not correct, then I misunderstood what you were doing." Changing your POV so dramatically,and numerous times, and in public, is sometimes why folks get a stick up their butt about you. Wow! So Lucky get's Banned (Timed out probably for months) from posting over at Daddy's forums - comes here, starts posting and suddenly gets a forum named after him? I'm sure most will disagree, buts that's really a slap in the face to those small numbers of people who did post over here for years when Lucky really couldn't have been bothered - as he was so engulfed in self adoration over there. Cashing in is one thing - selling out is quite another. Except for Cooper, the moderators over there are self centered drama queens who rule their forums based upon who they like or don't like. the Deej guy is a power tripper. The Lucky guy is a whining, two faced, passive aggressive poster who doesn't even want, apparently, the moderator position and has publicly washed his hands of it while chastising The Daddy and the Deej in the process of trying to get himself removed. Moderators over there should not be permitted to post there. Period. They are incapable of handling and managing the balance required for a healthy board to survive. deej is, well deej. He's again been at every core of disruption the site has ever had. Lucky is, well Lucky. You do the math. Not Lucky nor deej should be actively posting on that site as moderators. They are incapable of being impartial and both have axes to grind with many who still post there. Leave it to Lucky to be seen as the biggest hypocrite and elephant in the room EVER TO DATE... Just look at what he said over at his ass crack licking (moderating wannabe Daddys) website....: Well, I'm sorry. I wanted to cut and paste it over here now - but surprisingly, to my aghast - it's gone, vanished. Like it never existed. Isn't that convenient for you Lucky? The fact is that Lucky embraced Daddy (who didn't) AND chastised The Village Voice (who did) and now you MER (who did as well) to task for publishing this story with the same spineless accord he stands for IN EACH CASE during the most difficult of cases. He's a retired attorney? I now fully understand why.......... The problem with Lucky's argument here and now is that he is now using against YOU his very argument which he argued with For with Daddy. (ass lick...ass lick) Lucky is as only lucky as the ilk that visit his words are ignorant on Daddy's site. In other words..He speaks out of both sides of his ass. And seeing that.......Well nevermind that. How dare he chastise this MER management while on the other hand, and mouth, he supports the opposing sites point of view to a tee.. Lucky is the type of person who I grew up hating as a gay youth. He was all over you when it fed his needs, and then without haste or warning, he was fucking the girl that rejected you because of him to begin with. That's the game Lucky plays. I want to be somebody..and it matters not to me what I do or say to become that. If this isn't so.....He should explain this reversal of his character immediately. Not only to MER but To Daddys readers as well. Lucky is what hate and controversy is all about. You just need to be a part of it to know it and how it feels. Stiriing the pot of conversation is one thing lucky, but doing it with one site's dick in your ass while sucking on another site for attention, is what most would consider......DESPERATE. Thankfully, AIDS cannot be transmitted through lip service, as demonstrated by the first two posters of this thread. (one of them being Lucky) Matix tells us which birds of a feather he asociateswithL Ahhh, remember the good ole times?....When real life people challenged us and our attitudes against those of who lived without? And then, those whose attitudes challenged those very one of us who had none at all? Did I just Digress? ChgoBoy, Woodlawn, Doug69, BoN, TaylorKY, and so many others. Where are they now? Seems to me - Even though they may have pissed some of us off at times - They always made us ALL think at the same time about who we really are and were - then and now - when maybe we didn't really want to think about it. Then OR now....... To make my point - Where is Lucky now? Well, as usual, he is gone, to where and when again he has a platform for his expressions and ego fulfilling posts....Where he usually is.... Leave it to Lucky to be seen as the biggest hypocrite and elephant in the room EVER TO DATE... Just look at what he said over at his ass crack licking (moderating wannabe Daddys) website....: Well, I'm sorry. I wanted to cut and paste it over here now - but surprisingly, to my aghast - it's gone, vanished. Like it never existed. Isn't that convenient for you Lucky? The fact is that Lucky embraced Daddy (who didn't) AND chastised The Village Voice (who did) and now you MER (who did as well) to task for publishing this story with the same spineless accord he stands for IN EACH CASE during the most difficult of cases.

Stiriing the pot of conversation is one thing lucky, but doing it with one site's dick in your ass while sucking on another site for attention, is what most would consider......DESPERATE. So Allow me to say this. Lucky needs no defending - Nor did The Criminal Trial Of Scott Adler when you chose to do so and then was forced thru a higher intelligence to recant your policies and beliefs.- And then recanted your policy because of you're enlightened knowledge of it. Personal attack deleted. Posted 13 October 2009 - 08:07 PM Leave it to Lucky to be seen as the biggest hypocrite and elephant in the room EVER TO DATE... Matrix, Lucky is free comment as his heart and head dictate. You also are free to comment on his remarks. However, it is my impression that some of your remarks border on personal attack. If I understood them better I might have a more definitive view. Please keep all discourse free of personal invective and as objective as possible. It makes for a more cogent argument that we all can follow. If you are compelled to express emotional remarks it is better to describe your own frustrations than the other person's perceived personal shortcomings. Thanks Posted 18 October 2009 - 06:26 PM It does seem that he is reacting to stresses that are not from the board, as what is happening on the board does not call for such a reaction. How could you even suggest that Lucky? Whenever Daddy feels stresses related to the forums, he simply deletes them. To suggest that what is happening on the forums is no indication as to what Daddy is feeling and how he is reacting, is like saying that you can simply change your fortune by re-shaking the "magic eight ball" and hoping for a better answer. Oh wait! You're smarter than that Lucky. ************************************ One thing Lucky knows, is that Matrix is unduly obsessed with him!
