Aw, I love me my Jonny Quest. My favorite cartoon from childhood. I thought of myself as Jonny, because I thought I looked like him. Such fond memories.

I don't view what is written here as literature.

It wouldn't surprise me if LR invited one of the three mentioned to join him on his adventures. Life is weird sometimes.

Not all computers behave equally. Not all OSs behave equally. I have Mac and PC at the office. At home, it's all Mac. I did not check Planet Romeo on the PC until today. There is no warning pop-up window when using my PC.

Morbid jokes tend to not make me laugh.

Dear Mark, You didn't do much to win hearts and minds here during your short visit. And that's too bad. What you did do, apparently, is bring shit attached to your shoe from deej's board with the intent to clean your shoes here. From my understanding, Oz, the owner of this board, does not appreciate using this board for that purpose. He has said so many times. I think you're lucky your posts lasted this long. It's clear you have a desire to participate somewhere and be part of the discussion. Your post count is quite high at the other board, which usually means fellow members have strong opinions about your contributions, good and bad. I think I understand customers like you, but I have a lot of experience dealing with idiosyncratic personalities. I don't have a problem with your penchant for the "report" link. Some guys have a cop fetish and they love to play Inspector Clouseau. Finding and announcing a "fraud ad" over at the deej board is a game of sport for several members, and most other members truly appreciate those PSAs. So this coin has two sides. It's important to understand that deej's primary role was to protect Daddy's financial liability. With the servers based in America, that website is subject to U.S. laws. It is not protected if and when someone breaks the rules. Daddy was always paranoid about government sanctioned fines. When you have no money (or assets), you tend to worry about getting into trouble with the law. Now that deej's mantel has changed, I suspect he's no better off financially, which is why the cry for more donations will never end. I have a photo of deej, and I can tell you, I've never seen his tired haircut, ugly ass shopping on Rodeo Drive. The point is, NO ONE is allowed to tamper with their financial risk over there. That should explain their gun-trigger use of the "Time Out." One of my first "Time Outs" occurred when I posted a photo of Mandingo, the famous Black porn star, with a full-on erection. I was new. I did not know the law then. I did not know Daddy's server details. When I said on the board that I did not know, deej called me a liar. He was always good for an insult laced with hate. After numerous emails back and forth with Daddy, I set out to receive a crash course in their paranoia. It was another level of research that informed me. In the wake of Rentboy's demise, any U.S. based website that dabbles in subjects close to porn is going to be subject to scrutiny. If there is one thing the Republicans love, it's telling others how to have sex and when to have it. Just as long as you're not having more fun than they are. I suspect you'll be back, Mark. You may want to consider a new username and start with a clean slate. Old baggage just tends to look old and ratty. People usually like to play with new and prettier things. Best wishes.

If only it were that simplistic.

Can you gossip about folks at the table? If the table isn't long and huge, that would take a lot of nerve. My greatest fear regarding the popularity of the "Housewives" series is that ordinary people end up believing that this is how people are supposed to behave. In effect, the TV show sanctions the behavior simply because it's on TV. That's just one reason why I despise Andy Cohen and root for his failure. He's today's Jerry Springer, and he's debasing civil discourse. I hate the fact that he's a gay man making money off of this SHIT. Andy and I have been invited to the same parties. I always turn those invites down because I don't want to meet him. I'm actually afraid of what I'd say to him, to his face, if I ever did meet him. I'm likely to spit, and I've never done that before.

I hear Trump taught Cohen to do this. Recording people in meetings without their knowledge has been a Trump tactic for decades. Roy Cohn taught Trump to do this. In NYC business, this has never been a secret. Everyone knew if they were taking a meeting with Trump it would be recorded. If Michael Cohen brings down Trump, Cohen will go down in history as a hero. The man who saved the United States of America from Trumpism. I can't wait.

I'm sad. Things were going so well. Nothing good lasts forever. I never did like the stench of New York in August.

Not the best time to take a selfie. And the text messages in this TMZ article will not help save her. She claims at 17 she lived with an older man, as if to imply it's no big deal. No wonder she has no sense of appropriate boundaries. She says if things get bad, she'll move to Africa. I suspect she's going to get her wish. I have a soft heart for broke guys who want to suck my cock for money. I can see a $3,000 gift for someone in particular need, someone who might be especially good at sucking. But $300,000? I don't think so. Some people in Hollywood are CRA-CRA.

Things were different in the early 80's, for sure. By today's standard, my past on-the-job behavior would qualify me as a sexual harasser. Even though my sexual attraction to someone in the workplace could never be defined as "persistent" and/or "tormenting," I definitely played at work with men who shared a mutual desire. And no matter how much sexual fun I had with a co-worker on the down-low, it would never occur to me to use their employment as a weapon. I tended to fall for the most "gifted" employees, and my first desire was to keep them employed, even if they ended up disliking me. I was more in love with their gifts then I was with the idea of getting myself off sexually. Work always came first for me. But no matter how you slice and dice it, none of my former executive behavior with co-worker men would be viewed today as acceptable or legal, no matter the willingness of my play men. Sometimes, the fallen take a fall to set an example for others. Franken's fall was unfair in my eyes, but the photograph was extremely damning. Death by cell phone camera. And comedians be damned now. Women are tired of being the the brunt of men's jokes. I can't say I blame them. The term was pretentious, however, it does not diminish the PR ramifications Argento will endure as a result. Her response statement yesterday was not received well. People are asking far more questions now as a result, and that's not a good thing for her.

I don't know how he does it. For some Dorothys, there's no place like home. Every time I had business in Texas, I couldn't wait to leave. And given BN's love of theater and the arts, I thought for sure I'd see him one day, living in Manhattan, as near as possible to me.

I like to think of Benjamin Nicholas as a young man. Closer to the truth. Occasionally, some smart, talented, handsome guys get into this business for perfectly decent reasons. They grow up, taking care of themselves, while developing into good men. Some escorts know how to make the business work in a positive way for all concerned. I wish this was the norm for the industry.

To me, he looks more like an arrogant prick. He's got the face and attitude of a lawyer who is accustomed to making mob members happy.

I famously joined Hooboy's in 2005 to save Benjamin Nicholas from the fire-breathing dregs. Before that, I read the review site daily. I hated the forum. For many years, I contributed reviews under an alias that remains private. Once I joined the forum, I stopped writing reviews. My last post on Daddy's board was in January 2013. Just some minor history.

If he gets jail time, he may be taking something more unpleasant, depending how you feel about going lubricant-free.

Maybe. I still use taxis. Manhattan may be the exception. Smart competition tends to thrive here.

The owner of a forum board matters. Board owner's determine their own definition of civilized, so behavior and enforcement of TOS rules can vary. Hooboy seemed to love the drama behind troll behavior, and he allowed it to fester to the "meltdown" stage, more than once. It became a running joke. Many gay men enjoyed that dysfunctional mud pit. I did not. Daddy is on record saying he loves RuPaul's Drag Race. If you enjoy catty men dressed as over-painted women acting like sexless banshees, then chances are you'll enjoy a gay forum where uncivilized behavior is permitted. Many people use name calling because they have nothing more intelligent to say. I am proudly called an elitist, because I strongly believe in education.

It seems official. Cohen is talking to Mueller's team. Cohen takes a plea deal.

"(Asia Argento) gave him (the 17-year-old actor) alcohol to drink and showed him a series of notes she had written to him on hotel stationery. Then she kissed him, pushed him back on the bed, removed his pants and performed oral sex, the document says. She climbed on top of him and the two had intercourse, the document also says. The documents include a selfie dated May 9, 2013, of Ms. Argento, who was 37 at the time, lying in bed with Mr. Bennett" You simply can't make this stuff up. Just one month after Ms. Argento makes her claim against Harvey Weinstein, assuming the mantel of "leader" in the MeToo movement, she cuts a $380,000 legal deal to pay off her actor accuser. And there's a selfie of the two in bed. Asshole narcissists and their addiction to smartphones. Life simply doesn't get more insane than this. If Ms. Argento thought mourning her ex-boyfriend, Anthony Bourdain, was tough, wait until she feels the sting of the Hollywood blacklist. I wouldn't put a penny on her career surviving, no matter what job she hopes to acquire. California Police Look Into Allegations Against Asia Argento

I'm not the owner or moderator of this board, but, if a board is going to have a TOS, it can't have respectful members if no one enforces it. IMO, name calling and personal attacks should be grounds for termination. There is more than enough ugly in this world. Most of us don't come here in search of more of it.

Without knowing the source and his intent, I would never do that.

Thank goodness Oz has turned a new mod-leaf. Personal attacks and name calling should never be tolerated. I'm surprised and disappointed that Adam lost his cool. As Oz has indicated, there is a "Report Post" link on the upper-right corner of each post frame. I can inform members from personal experience, the link works, and I'm grateful.

Adam is definitely speaking for himself.
