  1. Glad to hear I'm not alone. I've got sixteen (!) emails from them in the past five days. The domain name links to a strip mall office in Calabasas. I'm not sure if it's related to this site or not, though I'd think OZ would let us know if he was going to give our email addresses to a webcam site, even one of his own. There's a link at the bottom of the emails that allegedly allows you to unsubscribe, but I've heard that spammers actually want you to try unsubscribing. That lets them verify that it's a valid email address, and makes it more valuable to sell to other spammers. I avoided logging into this site for a couple of days to see if that would make it go away, but no luck. They have now become my most ardent email correspondent.
  2. Apparently, one to hold the tape and one to sniff his butt.
  3. Our first zombie poster! I knew this site was going places.
  4. Certain the Hostess bankruptcy has created a market opportunity, Jason decides to add a Twinkie fantasy to his portfolio of services.
  5. He was the Turkish diplomat who died in Lady Mary's bed in Season One. He got Thomas the Footman to show him her room, shortly after Thomas tried putting the moves on him. Amazingly enough, I watched that episode for the first time last night and meant to look him up. And, to my surprise, here's a whole thread on him right here the very next day!
  6. Well, from what I read, consummation of a marriage requires sexual intercourse, and sexual intercourse requires penetration. And while "penetration" is qualified as "especially the insertion of a man's erect penis into a woman's vagina", "especially" doesn't mean "exclusively". So anal sex should qualify as 'consummation', as should a blow job if it's done right. I would not, however, mind hearing the Supreme Court's considered opinion on rimming and other such legal nuances. If the bottom's constipated, Is the marriage consummated?
  7. Still not sure why you don't just ask him. Offer to pay him for the answer if you have to. Hell, I'll kick in ten bucks! Twenty, if you end up posting a pic with your tongues down each others' throats.
  8. I suppose you've considered knockout drops? Failing that, why not just ask him what it would take for him to act a little friendlier? In the rather unlikely event he tells you, and it works, problem solved. If not, then he'll remain cold and arrogant, which you say you like. Bending him to your will and turning him into your lap dog may just make him less desirable, rather than more. Could it be you just like a challenge? If so, you've got one. My suggestion would be to just enjoy it for what it is. Besides, if we all knew how to turn the hottest guy in Sao Paolo into our own personal BoyToy, we'd probably be down there doing it instead of sitting around here pontificating on an anonymous message board. Of course I may be wrong.
  9. Plus they still have Alabama to look forward to!
  10. Mostly white, though it can vary throughout the day.
  11. In my opinion, the simplest question to the gobbling up of civil rights in the name of the 'war on terror' would be: Is there any liberty granted to any U. S. citizen that should not be taken away immediately if someone in the Federal government decides it interferes in any conceivable way with the 'war on terror' as defined at that moment by the someone doing the defining? So far, the answer to that question seems to be a resounding "No!". As far as I can tell, no one in government has stood in the way of this assault on individual freedom as it erodes before our eyes. I think the continuation of this process will lead, in very short order, to the elimination of guaranteed civil rights for every one of us. Could Osama Bin Laden or Ayman al-Zawahiri have imagined, in their wildest dreams, that the destruction of the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, and the rule of law could all have occurred within a single generation?
  12. I expect that Victorian chair predated steam cleaning. One would probably have rung for a footman to give it the once over. Were AdamSmith still stuck, the lad might have given them both the once over.
  13. stuck: past participle, past tense of stick (Verb) Verb Push a sharp or pointed object into or through (something): "he stuck his fork into the sausage". Although, when he said he was stuck in the Victorian era, I may have misinterpreted his use of the word.
  14. Stuck in the Victorian era yet, AdamSmith wishes to be amused
  15. Well, I sure hope OZ doesn't see this. With 26,000+ BoyToy members, each with an email address gayer than the last, even forty clothing company sales would put a million bucks in his pocket. Pick the right ones, and he'll tee us up for a level of sartorial splendor not seen since Quentin Crisp minced down Piccadilly on his way to the Villa Gianni.
  16. OK! Ready or not!!!
  17. Depending on how far the protesters are willing to take it, I'd bet they have a reasonable chance of prevailing over time. Is it nudity that the complainers complain about, or just genitals? Are nipples OK for men, but not for women? What if genitals are covered, but still apparent? And where, exactly, do genitals begin and end? Would Walmart have to hire compliance officers? How sheer is sheer? Most of all, I'd like to hear from the complainers. They apparently got a law passed but what, specifically, are they complaining about? Or do they just know it when they see it? I recall a dancer from the Nob Hill Theater stopping by the patio of a local watering hole. Someone asked him how much he showed in his act, and he showed us. As far as I know, no one complained.
  18. The first duo and the guy with the duck could make a fan out of me! If they ever need someone to join them in the end zone, I am hereby offering my services. Yes, to this day I think, write, and speak MER. Kind of like the folks who still hail from Constantinople.
  19. Sorry to see him go. He seems like such a nice man. . . . Yes and look, those boys follow him everywhere! . . . . . I wonder where he got those slippers? . . . . . . . It's on his card. OZ or something.
  20. Happy Birthday to TownsendPLocke! From morning till night may it rock. Now for all of our sake Have a big piece of cake And a generous helping of cock!
  21. Perhaps one of the reasons the Forbes article is so relatively serene is that it was written nearly three weeks ago, before the NTSB got its mitts on the innards of the miscreant battery. They've since confirmed 'thermal runaway' in at least three of the eight cells in the battery. Although the problem may have started in only one of the cells, Boeing's lead engineer had stated that 'protective circuitry' was in place to prevent problems from affecting more than one cell, and he was clearly wrong. It's easy to see why Boeing wanted to use lithium ion batteries, as they offer a couple of key advantages. First, relative to their size and weight, they put out a lot of power and this is important in a design where weight and space are at a premium. Second, they can be made up as flat, flexible 'pouches' and rolled or folded into a wide variety of sizes and shapes which is important when trying to stuff batteries into whatever nooks and crannies are available in a tightly packed airplane. But a key downside to lithium ion batteries, as Boeing, Sony, Lenovo and others have found to their misfortune is that, when an internal short develops, all hell breaks loose. This can take the form of a toasty laptop, molten plastic, or, in Boeing's case, 'spewing electrolytes'. Spewing Electrolytes, Batman! Will it ever fly? It seems that Boeing decided, back in 2005, to use cobalt oxide as the cathode in its lithium ion batteries, as it provided the highest power for the weight and size. While there are today safer materials, they will weigh more and, probably much more important, take up more space. And, since Boeing has designed its adjoining subsystems around the present battery, replacing it with one that's larger and heavier will almost certainly require a redesign of at least some of the surrounding subsystems to make room for a larger battery. And, if that's the case, a recall seems likely. Maybe an easier fix would be to put a safer, less powerful battery in the existing space and either make do, or supplement it with a secondary battery somewhere else. Maybe in the pilot's cup holder. In any event, as quoted in the article linked above, "[boeing] has formed teams consisting of hundreds of engineering and technical experts who are working around the clock with the sole focus of resolving the issue and returning the 787 fleet to flight status." As well they should.
  22. Actually, I'd love to see this all fixed up and behind us sooner rather than later. My only horse in this race is to see whether or not I can define the problem correctly. As I said earlier, and probably too often, I think the problem has gone well beyond hardware issues, and is now a matter of navigating a regulatory and political system in which they have created embarrassment and mistrust. I expect Boeing is as skilled as anyone at doing this, but I doubt they have any idea how long it will take them, even after the hardware issues are run to ground. As you say, I am not only inclined to wait, but will probably take the liberty of remaining nearly supine.
