Choices, choices...

I'm not so much for the real kinky stuff but hey we're all here to learn . . .

[lookin]

. . . I'll know no rest until you tell me you've mastered the gargouillade. Bon courage!

Actually, I did get fairly good at that one last June while waiting for a stall at the Minneapolis airport. Sweet dreams!

[TotallyOz]

Not darkness, certainly, but a bit of the luster is gone for me. I did try clicking on a few thumbnails, only to be told I’m not worthy;

You are worthy dear! I hope not too much of the luster is gone. You can still view the first 2 images of each profile. We will also be upping the number of photos that escorts can upload. We have some great ideas on the future of the site to keep the luster glowing for all.

Dear? Why do I get the feeling I should be hiding my purse?

Dear? Why do I get the feeling I should be hiding my purse?

Probably the right instinct.

Seems this echo won't leave my head until, irrespective of relevance, it gets posted...

...from those flames

No Light, but rather darkness visible...

Separately, small highjack in. re: horse pizzle -- in the last year one has discovered the pleasure of some light watersports before the main course. Perhaps to do with joys of infantilism, regression, etc. Scat though remains the uncharted land.

Your post is a reproach to my short-sightedness in ever having placed Milton at the bottom of my list of expected encounters in these forums, let alone cheek by jowl with delighted reminiscences of golden showers, which is probably one subject he didn't cover. Or did he?

Well, there are many dubious references in 'Lycidas', Milton's watery ode to his college chum Edward King, drowned when his ship sank crossing the Channel:

He must not float upon his watery bier...

Begin, then, Sisters of the sacred well,

That from beneath the seat of Jove doth spring...

Nor yet where Deva spreads her wizard stream...

What could the Muse her self that Orpheus bore,

The Muse her self, for her enchanting son

Whom Universal nature did lament,

When by the rout that made the hideous roar,

His gory visage down the stream was sent,

Down the swift Hebrus to the Lesbian shore...

O fountain Arethuse, and thou honour'd flood,

Smooth-sliding Mincius...

Or whether thou to our moist vows deny'd...

With nectar pure his oozy locks he laves...

Now Lycidas the Shepherds weep no more;

Hence forth thou art the Genius of the shore,

In thy large recompense, and shalt be good

To all that wander in that perilous flood.

I have the feeling a couple of lines in 'Paradise Lost' are spot on, as it were, but senescence keeps them just out of mind. Other than the cheap shot 'regain the blissful seat' in the opening strophe. If they come to me...

The idea of a kinky Milton is hilarious beyond measure. Any reference you can adduce to make the case will be joyfully received.

P.S. Never, never refer to your own senescence. I take the attitude that there is already a crowd out there taking some pleasure in talking about mine, and I won't add to the chorus. On the contrary, I have a store of colorful vocabulary for the ears of anybody who gets more explicit than I feel courtesy allows.

Messrs. Smith and Cotts,

Get a room, some doilies, glasses and elderberry wine!! This is a Pub full of Men's Men drinking top fermented ales, bottom fermented lagers and the occasional nector of a god.

(Ozzzzz... we need a table in the corner for the Poets Society.)

This is, of course, a minor tributary of Milton criticism, far from where the main stream flows.

P.S. Never, never refer to your own senescence.

Good advice. (I would ask you to send me those words, but I would not remember them.)

[AdamSmith]

and the occasional nector of a god.

Like I said!

(Ozzzzz... we need a table in the corner for the Poets Society.)

...a new forum? Maybe simply 'None of the Above'.

Anyway, what's an MC without the occasional shameless highjack?

P.S. I'm not dead yet!

:lol

Men's Men? I'm gauche not to have noticed! Does that include the ones who answer to Miss Thing?

Fermented bottoms !? No comment.

A (Live) Poets' Society sounds good to me, especially in Adam's hands. My place would be that of an envious and subservient observer. In Man's Man parlance, I would suck hind tit. Do you love it when I talk dirty?

I agree that watersports can definitely increase the pleasure of an intimate encounter, although mine have not yet been with our four-legged friends - the lone exception being a recent afternoon with Rick and Derek.

Horse shit, while largely uncharted territory for me as well, does seem to bring us back on topic, consistent with the original thrust of the thread.

[TampaYankee]

Like I said!

...a new forum?

No, a new table. Opening a whole room for two is reserved for the big tippers.

[Guest SouthernMan]

Good idea. All this talk about streams and Johns, and not the escort kind? The poet kind? Milton, Donne, so very much fun, but it does inspire me to post a poem mentioning streams from my favorite poet John, that, methinks no John beats.

"Fill For Me A Brimming Bowl

Fill for me a brimming bowl

And in it let me drown my soul:

But put therein some drug, designed

To Banish Women from my mind:

For I want not the stream inspiring

That fills the mind with--fond desiring,

But I want as deep a draught

As e'er from Lethe's wave was quaff'd;

From my despairing heart to charm

The Image of the fairest form

That e'er my reveling eyes beheld,

That e'er my wandering fancy spell'd.

In vain! away I cannot chace

The melting softness of that face,

The beaminess of those bright eyes,

That breast--earth's only Paradise.

My sight will never more be blest;

For all I see has lost its zest:

Nor with delight can I explore,

The Classic page, or Muse's lore.

Had she but known how beat my heart,

And with one smile reliev'd its smart

I should have felt a sweet relief,

I should have felt ``the joy of grief.''

Yet as the Tuscan mid the snow

Of Lapland dreams on sweet Arno,

Even so for ever shall she be

The Halo of my Memory.

John Keats

[TampaYankee]

Men's Men? I'm gauche not to have noticed! Does that include the ones who answer to Miss Thing?

Those are the guys I want on my side in a brawl.

In Man's Man parlance, I would suck hind tit.

Pretty agressively too, I suspect.

Do you love it when I talk dirty?

Especially when your mouth is full.

[TampaYankee]

P.P.S. You forgot my pickles!

I shall never forget your pickles... etched in the granite of my mind's eye!! I am scarred for life.

Here's a Christmas song you can sing to Casey Aldridge or any heartthrob you choose:

"All I Want For Christmas Is You"

[Originally by Mariah Carey]

I don’t want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby all I want for Christmas is you

I don’t want a lot for Christmas there is just one thing I need

And I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree

I don’t need to hang my stocking way above the fireplace

Santa Clause won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas day

And I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Oh baby all I want for Christmas is you, you baby

I wont ask for much this Christmas

I wont even wish oh I wont even wish. I wont even wish for snow.

I’m just gonna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe

I wont make a list and send it to the North Pole for St Nick

Wont even stay awake to hear the magic reindeer play

Cause I just want you here tonight,

Holdin on to me so tight

What more can I do

Oh baby all I want for Christmas is you, oh baby

Oh our lives are shinin surrounding everywhere

Where the sounds of children’s laughter fills the air

And everyone is singin' oh I hear those sleigh bells ringin'

Santa wont you bring me the one I really need

Wont you bring back my baby to me

Oh I don’t want a lot for Christmas

This is all I’m askin for

I just want to see my baby standing right outside my door

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you, you, its you, you, oh baby

All I want is you [x4]

You, you, you, you, you

Thanks to Chris (xchrisbx@hotmail.com) for these lyrics

Stu, our little world goes on. I now simply go to the escort's or other website, if there is one, and see the larger pics there. If something else catches my interest on the other site, I spend my time there, not here. That is the point some of us are making. That this change may be counterproductive to this site. We'll see.

This is my general sentiment. I'm willing to support the site, but it isn't worth $8 a month to me to enlarge pictures. I get my porn elsewhere, so any offers in that area are not of interest.

[flguy]

OZ and TY, Thank you for today's consideration and it is very much appreciated.

FlGuy

[Guest Conway]

I couldn't agree more. It belies your efforts to satisfy your original contributing members and also keep your business profitable.

Good decision!

[Guest epigonos]

I have finally decided to add my two cents worth to this thread. I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy this site for several reasons 1.) The reviews -- I base much of my hiring on this section. 2.) The profiles -- This section was and continues to be an outstanding concept and it is my favorite section because it allows me to research possible future hires. 3.) The forums -- I "frequently" find them informative, fun and entertaining. Do these three positive features continue under the new policy? Yes, therefore, I will continue to use this site by reading reviews and profiles, writing reviews, and sounding off in the forums when the mood strikes.

Now do I intend to upgrade my membership? No!!!!! I really do not see the need to spend the money to enlarge photographs. Though slightly inconvenient I can, if I wish, find larger photographs of these guys elsewhere. I am not remotely interested in the available porn I like some others find mine in other places.

What I really do not understand guys is why all the fuss? The owners of this site have every right in the world to run it exactly as they wish and as long as they provide me with reviews, profiles and forums I will continue to hang around.

[lookin]

I can see again!!

Thanks very much guys

for bringing back the big pics!
