Members Lucky Posted October 25, 2006 Members Posted October 25, 2006 One of the advantages of being a blogger is that you get to post when you feel like it, and, of course, not post when you don't want to. So every once in a while I check out Ben Nicholas' site to see if a new post is up. He does post on an irregular basis. But tonight, I see this: Site Temporarily Disabled This site has been temporarily disabled. If you are the owner of the site, please contact customer care. So Ben, contact customer care. And get that blog back up. Well, at least the eye candy! Quote
Members Lucky Posted October 25, 2006 Author Members Posted October 25, 2006 Hmmm, with Rico in jail, Cory stumbling at the gate, and Rick Munroe letting his blog die, we need Ben right now. Should we take up a colllection to pay his server fee and get him reconnected? Quote
Guest VoxPennae Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 >Hmmm, with Rico in jail, ... What??? Please enlighten us on this. I've been on travel for a while. Did I miss something? Quote
Guest Funseeker22 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 If you go to benjaminnicholas.com you can get his online diary and the complete blog -eye candyand all. :-) :-) Quote
Members Lucky Posted October 26, 2006 Author Members Posted October 26, 2006 Funseeker...why would Ben make us go to all that trouble to find his blog? Are we all seekers? Apparently he is no longer using the website www.15minutesmore.com. But seek I did. I can't rememebr what the blog was about, but the eye candy is great, especially that cute Asian guy. Oh, he did mention a druggie midwestern escort who is about to sleep with the fishes. Or so Ben suggests... Quote
Members BenjaminNicholas Posted October 26, 2006 Members Posted October 26, 2006 Rico's in jail? Nah. I don't buy it. I have good reason to believe he's sitting pretty and with a whole lot less stress now. I'm reformatting my splash page and moving my title page to new, private servers, thus the error message. It should be back up and running as it always was in the coming day or so... For the time being, you can access 15 Minutes here: http://www.BenjaminNicholas.com/blogger.html BN Quote
Members Lucky Posted October 26, 2006 Author Members Posted October 26, 2006 Ben, good to see your blog hasn't shut down. Another blog I like is Andy Towle's: www.towleroad.typepad.com Quote
Members Lucky Posted November 9, 2006 Author Members Posted November 9, 2006 The blog world sure is getting dull. I have even thought of starting my own, as Cory's lackluster attempt to succeed Rico has been laughable, Scott hardly ever blogs, Ben is every couple of weeks on ever changing weblinks, Four Aces hasn't posted on 4Rockets since July. BTW, whatever happened to Four Aces? He disappeared at the same time that Rico went to jail, IF he went to jail. Ben has evidence, so he says, that Rico is sitting pretty. I know Ben was a big fan of Rico's, but he hasn't shared his "good evidence" with us. And I have seen something that means Rico is out of jail...IF it is our very same Rico. (Let's hope not, cuz the outcome wasn't good), but I do know that Rico once posted this: June 22, 2006 An Agent Amongst Us? The Hooville Village News staff has been investigating a tip we received that their just might be an FBI agent posing as one of us. We've learned that there is definitely some weight to this tip and will fill the Hooville Village News readers in with more detail as we confirm the facts. Stay tuned this is gonna be a shocker. posted by Rico at 12:53 PM Some weight to it? And then shortly thereafter Four Aces discontinued his blog! How could Rico know that there was a an FBI snitch, unless??? On the other hand, one source tells me that Rico is in jail on a parole violation, so who knows if this is our Rico: FBI Snitch Accused of Murder Dies Awaiting Trial Inmates and Prisons Posted on Nov 7, 2006 at 01:39:00 PM EST This is very sad. A 48 year old former FBI snitch recently charged in a 20 plus year old murder case died while awaiting a psychological evaluation by the court to see if he was fit to stand trial. The former FBI snitch, who was accused of helping former mob informants arrange the murder of a Tulsa businessman, died a week after he was extradited to Oklahoma to face charges, a hospital spokeswoman said Saturday. Rico, 48, died late Friday, a few hours after a Tulsa County judge put the murder case on hold pending a psychological evaluation to determine if Rico was competent to stand trial. His family said he had congestive heart failure and had lost 53 pounds since his arrest Oct. 9 in Florida, where he had been living. ....During his arraignment Wednesday, conducted by video feed from the Tulsa County jail, Rico sat in a wheelchair and occasionally moaned but said nothing. His attorney at one point interrupted the judge, saying: "I am telling you this man is sick, extremely sick." He requested an emergency medical furlough, saying his client was ailing and needed help; the judge ordered the psychological evaluation. The lawyer said during that hearing that Rico, who had a pacemaker, was disoriented after being beaten Oct. 15 by an unknown assailant in the Miami-Dade County Jail, but that he had recovered his mental competency and "wants a jury trial to clear his name." Prosecutors offered this handy excuse: Tulsa County prosecutors had questioned the assault allegation, saying an improper dose of medication may have been responsible for bruising on Rico's body. Why wasn't Rico put on house arrest instead of kept in the Tulsa County jail? He's 48 years old and 450 pounds. Where was he going to run? Who was he going to hurt if he hadn't been charged with a crime in the 22 years since the murder? As to the murder with which he was charged, the details are: Rico was accused of helping arrange the 1981 murder of Tulsa businessman Roger Wheeler, chairman of Telex Corp. and owner of World Jai Alai in Florida, where Rico worked as security chief after leaving the FBI informers group. Members of Boston's Winter Hill Gang had been informants for Rico when he was an FBI snitch in Boston. Murder charges were filed in March 2001 in Tulsa County against Winter Hill Gang members James "Whitey" Bulger, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi and John Martorano. Martorano pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 15-year prison term for carrying out the hit on Wheeler. Flemmi pleaded guilty in October to racketeering charges related to 10 murders, including Wheeler's, and awaits sentencing Jan. 27. Bulger remains at large since being tipped off to a pending indictment in 1995. Quote
Members BenjaminNicholas Posted November 9, 2006 Members Posted November 9, 2006 I can only speak for myself... 15 Minutes did go through a lull of not being weekly thanks to a full travel schedule, but i'm definitely trying to get it back on track. For the past few entries, it's been on-time and ready to roll. I don't see any reason to address Rico on 15 Minutes, as 90% of my readers don't know about this niche and it would only confuse people, possibly bore them and make people click elsewhere. I do keep a info contingent of 'escortability' on the blog, but i just try to make sure it's not ONLY a blog about escorting. Too much of that on the web already. Whatever your personal opinions may be, i appreciate all of my readers and thank you guys for staying tuned Benjamin Quote
Members Lucky Posted November 10, 2006 Author Members Posted November 10, 2006 No one was asking you to discuss Rico on Fifteen Minutes, Ben. I was just curious to see what this good info you had on him was. You could post it right here! Obviously, Rico didn't die in jail... BTW, your new post on the blog has great eye candy. Good job! Quote
AdamSmith Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 >Rico didn't >die in jail... Well, "sitting pretty and with a whole lot less stress now" is not necessarily incompatible with your previous surmise about Rico, depending on one's theology -- and one's previous stress levels. Two forms move among the dead, high sleep Who by his highness quiets them, high peace Upon whose shoulders even the heavens rest, Two brothers. And a third form, she that says Good-by in the darkness, speaking quietly there, To those that cannot say good-by themselves... -- Wallace Stevens Quote
Guest twinklover Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 It would be interesting to learn the truth: why no more Rico blogs? It's a little ironic that Lucky also wants this info, considering that Rico wanted Lucky dead as the selected victim for his Dead Pool. Many incognito controversial figures seem to come and go in the gay entertainment area. Rico had a relatively short life. In addition to Rico, WEHT Damon Kruezer, Tommy Socks , Mitch Richmond? WEHT controversial escorts like Anthony Holloway, Devon, Aaron Lawrence, Jeremy Jordan Dawson, Scott Bradley? Quote
Members Lucky Posted November 11, 2006 Author Members Posted November 11, 2006 What is ironic, tl, is how few people actually seem to care about what happened to Rico, who thought he was so popular. As for me, well, I did cost him that office pool! Others who disappeared from posting about the same time were jackhammer, bugguyfrompasadena, and Boston Guy. Coincidence? Jackhammer has reappeared, so he is off the hook, but what about the other "guys?" We heard about the Vegas arrests, where Four Aces lived and bigguy visits often. Maybe they are both in the clink? As for Boston Guy, no, he couldn't have been Rico. Rico was banned in Boston! Quote
AdamSmith Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 >Rico was >banned in Boston! I live here, so I like that. But what do you mean? Quote
Members Lucky Posted November 11, 2006 Author Members Posted November 11, 2006 Adam, did you notice that you are post #13 in this thread? Doesn't that help explain why Rico was banned in Boston? Boston has long banned dangerous individuals. I'll bet Vegas wishes they had the same policy! BTW, is it true that you are planning a big New Year's Eve party with Andre, Trey, Denverlatin, and Jason Rylee? I could come help if you needed it! Quote
AdamSmith Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 >Adam, did you notice that you are post #13 in this thread? >Doesn't that help explain why Rico was banned in Boston? How could I have missed it? Friday the 13th is always my favorite day. And come to think of it, I was living on the 13th floor (labeled 14th of course) when I met Andre. My luck must be the opposite of Rico's. >BTW, is it true that you are planning a big New Year's Eve >party with Andre, Trey, Denverlatin, and Jason Rylee? I could >come help if you needed it! Actually (this is more than half true) the target is a New Year's Eve cluster fuck in Raleigh involving Andre, Trey and Ethan Evans. Y'all come! Earlier this year Trey showed me how Raleigh has become astoundingly gay-friendly. As witness this town-square statue of its namesake in mid-swish! http://www.huvard.com/becka/raleigh/images/tall_raleigh.jpg Quote
AdamSmith Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 P.S. Almost forgot to mention... In your golden category of smooth young Latins and Asians, my most recent find, earlier this week: http://www.rentboy.com/location/getrb.asp?...958&Location=71 Highly affectionate. Highly kissable, huggable, suckable, versatile. Highly recommended. And high on my guilt stack of to-be-written reviews. Quote
Members Lucky Posted November 11, 2006 Author Members Posted November 11, 2006 He needs a good barber. You'd think living in San Francisco he could find a better hairstylist! Bring him to Raleigh and I'll bet butch Andre could set him straight. Isn't talking about boys better than talking about Rico? Quote
AdamSmith Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 >set him straight. Not sure that's the desired outcome. (Sorry to stoop to that crack but you so seldom play the straight man! All right...) In person the hair is not so distracting. Or rather it's offset by stronger distractions. }( >Isn't talking about boys better than talking about Rico? Rico who? :+ Quote
Guest twinklover Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Lucky, you do appear to be costing him that office pool, although the year isn't over yet. If Rico did predecease you, you will certainly have the last laugh, which would be quite ironic after all those nasty things Rico said about you, including all of his death wishes. Adam, the SF escort Erik aka Jay has been around for years posting on Craigslist. He's only recently run a rentboy ad, perhaps seeking different clientelle at a highly hourly rate. It's nice to have your informal review. The young man has always appeared to be very sexual and enthusiastic, although he has not excited me enough to hire him. Quote
AdamSmith Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Interesting about Eric/Jay. To compound my sin of posting in deferral of full review -- nice guy, easy to make arrangements with, very accommodating -- willing to drive far out of SF to inland of San Jose to meet me. Nice body. Good fucker, adequate fuckee. Not so great a kisser. Accepted oral only with condom; did not offer to give it. So -- good time, I would probably repeat, but he did not knock me into orbit the way a few have (Andre, Jason Rylee, Ben/splendidpup/LA, Blake Christopher, say). Looking back at my effusive post above, the more considered impressions here are the more accurate, I think. Quote
Members Lucky Posted November 12, 2006 Author Members Posted November 12, 2006 I see you are trying to slide by with saying that you are only one review behind, Adam. tsk tsk. I don't see your review of Ben/LA. Were you really able to knock funseeker aside for a few hours to get to know Ben? Quote
AdamSmith Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 "High on my guilt stack" acknowledges the stack itself is pretty high, no? And yes, somehow I did find an evening when funseeker had managed to let go of Ben. My good fortune. My misfortune is that I saw him summer 2005 and have still not managed a repeat. Email is just not the same, even with titillating pics attached. So to sum up my guilt stack... Raves: Ben/LA Jason Rylee Trey Thurston Near-rave: DenversLatinboy Nice, probably would repeat: Eric/SF Not quite for me but likely heaven for many: Adonis/NYC Category by himself (torrid mental affair ongoing -- we have evolved a private email language since meeting): Rick Munroe ...Whom have I left out? :9 Quote
Members Lucky Posted November 12, 2006 Author Members Posted November 12, 2006 You do get around. Which escort are you going to surprise next? http://weizsaecker.bawue.spd.de/download/i...20Smith%20e.jpg BTW: I want pix of Jason!!! BTW: I want one certain pic of AAndre...Christmas is coming! Quote
AdamSmith Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Hoping Ethan Evans might be next! Can't help with Jason pics other than recommend his rentboy ad. But as for A, a bonus 2-pack...
