This is even worse than the woman with pickles up her ass. About your previous post -- doubtless we will all continue to natter away at one another here, there and possibly elsewhere. Well and good. But it bears saying that Rico's shit makes axebahia look like Dag Hammarskjöld.

>Rock is normally best played >thunderously loud and the words oblivious to the spectators. ROFL! So -- do I breach confidence in posting the true face of Rock? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5...hechampions.jpg

Watching the site off and on this morning, something like half a dozen new members have signed up in the past 4 hours or so. Looks like the ads are pulling.

He is drawn to quality. By his own account! As for being targets of his scorn, I found it energizing at M4M. As my anti-hero William Blake put it: Damn braces; bless relaxes. Blake was not a fan of relaxation! (So much for my resolve to let Rock alone. Start again!) :+

There is a web site for everything, it seems... http://www.up-kilt.com/ No pickles or fish there -- promise! :-)

If this gets me banned, I will understand. (My business partner is sitting across the office wondering what the hell brought on my fit of uncontrollable sniggering and guffawing. I don't think I can show him.)

>Yes, I believe she was heard to say in a rarely heard cockney >twang: "I feel like I'm a bit in a pickle, dearie." Not hard to understand... http://static.flickr.com/23/96536149_d703012add_m.jpg ...one could even write a book... http://images.amazon.com/images/P/09706611...SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg ...but I wouldn't scroll further without a strong stomach -- pickles and fish should never mix: http://extremejokes.com/images/pickle.jpg

>too bad he is only >really staying there in his own little make believe fantasy >world. Well, one reviewer called it "Not a place you should visit unless you are a multi millionairre with no value on your hard earned cash." Sounds like a place that fits RH's real self-image...? But, taking my own advice, I think I'll try and forget about him here. Admittedly I may still rise to the bait from time to time Over There. The flesh is weak.

Laughing at RockHard's assertions can be an enjoyable pastime. Given world enough and time, it would be fun to compile a list of pomposities, self-contradictions and other outrages – A Child’s Garden of RockHard. (My favorite RH locution of all – we who hire are “men who are willing to throw away hundreds of dollars on a chance at orgasm and fake love.” Right on!) But if Oz and TY opened up a shiny new restaurant, going there and then dwelling on the big rat infesting the old hash joint across town would eventually become less than appetizing... Most especially because nothing would give said animal greater satisfaction.

Remember this one? http://z.about.com/d/urbanlegends/1/0/A/7/...nd_soldiers.jpg

>the arrival of Vincent #1 (and I >mean he is #1) will put a hold on plans to marry Francois. The Overinvestment Tango -- ain't it grand? In my contortions over Andre I found a muse in the poet Blake: "Those who restrain their desires, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained." "Prudence is a rich, ugly, old maid courted by incapacity." And above all: "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom."

>Trey Thurston... >I am a cynic by nature and believe little of what I >hear. However, this guy won me over faster than any escort >has. The longer you're around Trey, the better it gets. Definitely not one of those you wear through in a hurry. In the Top 5 Twink thread here, I called him possibly the best there is at what he does. What I was thinking was the role of courtesan, in its best sense. And what's under the clothes -- and what he does with it -- is certainly the match of everything else about him!

For us who aren't there, your reports are both treat and torture. Like laying a meal just outside the cell door of a starving prisoner. Keep 'em coming!

The process can require more guesswork than some posters on M4M imply. But here's the formula... If I wanted to hunt for Andre's reviews, I would go to the Google search bar and type in: www.male4malescorts.com/reviews/andre_raleigh.html The guesswork lies in figuring out that "andre_raleigh" is probably how his reviews are tagged. The standard format is "escortname_city". Also, be sure to include the ".html" at the end. For that search, Google returns this: Male Escort Hooboys Male Escort Reviews - stories of escort adventures. www.male4malescorts.com/reviews/andre_raleigh.html Google can show you the following information for this URL: * Show Google's cache of www. male4malescorts.com/reviews/andre_raleigh.html * Find web pages that are similar to www. male4malescorts.com/reviews/andre_raleigh.html * Find web pages that link to www. male4malescorts.com/reviews/andre_raleigh.html * Find web pages that contain the term "www. male4malescorts.com/reviews/andre_raleigh.html" To get to the review, click on the first choice: * Show Google's cache of www. male4malescorts.com/reviews/andre_raleigh.html The live link to click will be the words "Google's cache" -- not the web address that follows. Actually this explanation does not seem any clearer than those of IceFireWizard et al. Anyone else want to try?

>LOL... well deej, you may be right. I take your word for it. "Well, I'm sure you're right, HAL. Umm -- fine, thanks very much." :+

Lucky has my unqualified welcome here. He is one of the three or four most consistently informative, informed, entertaining, and existentially engaged posters in this community of escort lovers and sommeliers. Lucky, post away.

At their best Ritz-Carltons can be as good as anything going, but they can vary wildly one to the next. Their Palm Beach property was a dumper five years ago, and I see on their web site that it's only now being renovated. Remembered a few more places that outclass several on the list: http://www.soniathouse.com/ http://www.hotelletoiny.com/ (The toilets are by Spode -- I am not making this up.) http://www.leguanahani.com/ http://www.whitebarninn.com/

SilverDollar, fully agree about the various Four Seasons omissions. Criminally absent is the Four Seasons Milan, set in an architecturally exquisite former convent. Another couple I can think of that ought to rate higher than some on the list are the Mandarin Oriental Shanghai and the Adlon Kempinski Berlin. Some odd inclusions -- Ritz-Carlton Naples is nothing to write home about compared with several other U.S. Ritz properties not shown, for example the one in Puerto Rico. And some choices look to be a matter of subjective taste, such as including the Bel-Air but not Chateau Marmont.

Another nice thing about the Forum here: The auto-numbering system for each post in a thread makes sense. That is, the number initially assigned to a post and displayed as the first line in the post is the same number referenced in subsequent replies to that post. So you can see who replied to whom wthout going into threaded mode. Sounds obvious, but dcforum implementations on some Other Sites don't work this way.

Building the premium brand takes time and trouble but is well worth it, from this consumer's viewpoint.
