TotallyOz Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 TampaYankee is amazing to work with and I have always enjoyed his sense of humor and his compassionate spirit. I met him many years ago in Montreal. He was so lively and having such a great time. We became instant friends. A short time after that, I knew that I was going to do this site and there was no one I wanted to partner with more than TY. It has been over 6 years and there is no way I could have done this site without him. He is often quietly in the background as I am a bit louder and a tad more flamboyant. But, he is amazing to work with and ever present with every aspect of this site. Thank you TY for putting up with all my shit over the years. Thank you for tirelessly working to make this site grow and be successful. Thank you for your integrity with regards to reviews. Thank you for being the sound of reason during all discussions. Basically, thank you for being you! TownsendPLocke 1 Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 That is sweet. We don't always thank people around us publicly or privately for that matter. We should all do this kind of thing more often especially to people that mean a lot to us for whatever reason. #lifelessonstaughtbyOZ Quote
Members marcanthony Posted June 1, 2012 Members Posted June 1, 2012 I just have FANTASTIC memories of both TY and Oz in Montreal for the funnest times you can imagine!!!! TotallyOz 1 Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted June 1, 2012 Members Posted June 1, 2012 I'm not sure what kind of trouble I got in to deserve this. (I did oversleep today. ) But thanks for your thanks and know that I thank you, for your friendship and next for the wonderful partner you are and have been to work with other these almost seven years. Oz, is generous of heart as well as otherwise, and I have been blessed to know him as friend. He is also one hell of a fun guy to cavort with, whatever the venue. TotallyOz 1 Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted June 1, 2012 Members Posted June 1, 2012 I just have FANTASTIC memories of both TY and Oz in Montreal for the funnest times you can imagine!!!! To borrow your phrase Marc, you guys have given me the 'funnest times' of my life over a sustained period with many great memories that I could never forget. TotallyOz 1 Quote
Members Lucky Posted June 1, 2012 Members Posted June 1, 2012 My thanks also to Tampa Yankee for his services here and for his help to me when I needed it. TotallyOz 1 Quote
Members TownsendPLocke Posted June 1, 2012 Members Posted June 1, 2012 Tampa Yankee is one of my favorite posters on this board. I would also like to thank him for his service to this community, Hopefully one of these days he makes it over to LA,,,,like for a MER dinner,,,(hint hint) TotallyOz 1 Quote
AdamSmith Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Long as we're piling on... TY knows he has my gratitude for -- like 9 years now? -- an email (and posting) friendship offering me support, advice, commiseration (e.g., of Boston's anemic escort scene -- right up til when I left town!), understanding. Beatification having begun, his canonization will shortly ensue. TotallyOz 1 Quote
Guest FourAces Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Looks like someone is about to ask TY to work some overtime. While that someone might be enjoying the sweet smiles of hot Thai boys in a land far away Thanks TY for helping to keep this place on course. Quote
Guest CharliePS Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Kudos to KY! Oops! Lucky pointed out to me that I typed KY when I meant TY. Quote
TotallyOz Posted June 2, 2012 Author Posted June 2, 2012 Oops! Lucky pointed out to me that I typed KY when I meant TY. LOL I am sure TY is getting out his KY and getting ready to use it so I don't think he noticed. Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted June 2, 2012 Members Posted June 2, 2012 Thanks for all of the nice comments. Makes an irrepressibly verbose, hard-assed, lust-filled old phart feel a little bit softer this AM. Quote

While that someone might be enjoying the sweet smiles of hot Thai boys in a land far away If it's Thai boys he's enjoying, bitch has hauled them along with him. It appears Glorius Leader is currently touring Mumbai, lol. Never you mind, TY. Someday we will make that trip to Havana and won't even send Oz a postcard. Quote
TotallyOz Posted June 2, 2012 Author Posted June 2, 2012 Never you mind, TY. Someday we will make that trip to Havana and won't even send Oz a postcard. Whoa buddy! Havana is a dream of mine! No one is getting onto a plane to go there without ME!!!! Quote
Members MsGuy Posted June 2, 2012 Members Posted June 2, 2012 See what I mean, TY? Your invite for the Mumbai trip got lost in the mail as did my MER press credentials from Oz (so I could arrange for my Cuba visa), but the old horn dog is already planning to fob us off with his leftovers on our little Havana adventure. No way in hell, 'buddy'! You stay put for once and run MER while TY gets some well deserved R&R. Maybe I will send that post card after all: "Wish you were here." (evil giggle) Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted June 3, 2012 Members Posted June 3, 2012 MsGuy, we'll have to tiptoe into Havana without drawing Oz's attention.Once he hits town we might as well be in Mumbai as only the shantys and shambles will be available. The rest of the island will be at Oz's arrival party. Quote
