MC = Message Center, AKA Forum. Not, regrettably, Massage Center. ...Oz, does this new forum software have a Teledildonics extension?

Let us pray. I realized what must be La Struthers' penchant for that part of Maine. It all rests on one giant mass of granite, so low risk of earthquakes from her passage.

That too! Those hot visiting Canadiens again. (See above.)

marc - sorry! I just checked. It was another poster mentioning that Ogunquit is "thickly populated by hot French-Canadians escaping Montréal's summer weather." In my aging & leaky mind, all things Montreal must lead back to marcanthony! http://m4m.message-forum.net/dcboard.php?a...ing_type=search

At risk of heresy, could it be that some Repub voters are not quite the wingnuts that their primary candidates are? After all, last time the Dems fielded a competent campaigner, enough Republicans voted for him, twice. As for Mr. and Mrs. America accepting us -- come to MA! Of course, as long as the courts let the states and Feds ignore the full-faith-and-credit clause, and even try to legislate it away, marriage rights in one state don't amount to nearly enough. But a start, at least.

Could-be-a-lot-worse department... Poll majority: Gays' orientation can't change (CNN) -- A majority of Americans believe that gays and lesbians could not change their sexual orientation even if they wanted to, according to results of a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released Wednesday. It's the first time in a CNN poll the majority has held that belief regarding homosexuality. Fifty-six percent of about 515 poll respondents said they do not believe sexual orientation can be changed. In 2001, 45 percent of those responding to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll held that belief. In 1998, according to a CNN/Time poll, the number was 36 percent. In addition, 42 percent of respondents to the current poll said they believe homosexuality results from upbringing and environment, while 39 percent said they believe it is something a person is born with -- a close division that reflects the national debate over the issue. However, those numbers are greatly changed from the 1970s and '80s, in which fewer than 20 percent of Americans said a person is born homosexual. In a 1977 poll, the number was 13 percent. ... In a poll conducted May 4-6 that dealt with other issues regarding homosexuality, participants were asked whether openly gay people should be allowed to serve in the U.S. military, which currently has a "don't ask-don't tell" policy on homosexuality. Seventy-nine percent of poll respondents said openly gay people should be allowed to serve in the military. Eighteen percent said they should not. On the question of gay marriage, 43 percent of respondents in May said they would not support same-sex marriage or civil unions, which provide many, if not most, of the same legal protections as marriage. Twenty-four percent said they supported same-sex marriage, while 27 percent opted for civil unions. But a majority of poll respondents -- 57 percent -- said gay and lesbian couples should have the legal right to adopt children. Forty percent said they should not. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/06/27/poll.gay/index.html

Long ago on an MC far away, marcanthony and I traded yuks about Sally Struthers striding the boards in 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.' The thread was someone asking what to do in Ogunquit, Maine (after doing the Montreal bois summering there!). Last weekend I drove past the Ogunquit Playhouse -- she's baaack! This time in, of all things, 'The Full Monty.' ...this used to be Archie's little goil?! 'The Full Monty' at The Ogunquit Playhouse

>That history, the fact that some questions are better >addressed privately, the ratio of escort/client responses, and >the participation in that forum was way below other forums at >HooBoy's led me to conclude that 'ask the escort' questions >could be handled within The Pub or The Buffet. Here's one vote in agreement with your observations and reasoning. Besides, that "Ask an Escort" setup for me conjures scenes of a panel discussion -- johns here on one side of the room, working bois over there. I prefer the imagery in your forum descriptions of a pub/club where all commingle together. Cheek by jowl, as it were.

Science experiment report: My review of Kevin6669/Montreal was submitted to this site on February 27. Then, following a site-wide mishap, it was resubmitted on March 3. It was published March 14. I submitted the same review to daddysreviews on February 27. It was published today, May 25. Just the facts, ma'am.

>Reminded me of the cackling of ducks.......people >voluntarily subject themselves to this sort of stuff? My S.O. insists on DVR'ing The View and watching it every night. I have to leave the room. To each his own.

Not, we hope, that rustic garage featured in a glowing review of one of our notable escorts.

Looks like I will just miss the Iron Penis Festival... http://wikitravel.org/upload/shared//7/72/...stival_2007.JPG Kawasaki's best-known event is the Kanamara Matsuri ( 金まら祭り ), also known as the Iron Penis Festival, held yearly in early April — check with the Tokyo TIC for exact dates. Penis-laden temple floats (o-mikoshi) are paraded down the streets of Kawasaki and everybody gets sloshed. The festival has been to some extent hijacked by foreign tourists and Tokyo's transvestite ("new half") community, who often make up half the audience, but as you can imagine the people running the show aren't terribly uptight and nobody seems to mind. http://wikitravel.org/en/Kawasaki

>Oprah before make-up? Eek. The mind boggles. At all your images! But somehow I think the surest way to catch guys like this is with cold hard yen.

I may have to spend serious time at Aron's Rod.

>I am also hoping for a video clip of the Adam Smith scene. My ticket into the Rico Report! :+

Not to omit the redoubtable Shirley Q. Liquor. A little goes a long way, but the landscape would not be the same without her.

>And if we're all lucky, AdamSmith starring in the soon to be >made "Geisha Girls gone wild." Lke I said in the A-List thread, you would have to brace yourself for something more like "Frances Faye Gone to Seed." (She played the antique madame in "Pretty Baby" with La Shields.) P.S. Gratuituous insult of the day -- This list is missing the films of Jamie Lee Curtis!
