MsGuy, the nice thing here is that we don't have to rewrite Oz's words. This is what he said: If, for any reason, you get a vibe that the dude “looks poz†it's a good idea to cancel the date as politely as possible." I hope he has a nice time at the AIDS Ride and makes many new friends.

Our fearless leader, Totally Oz, makes what I think to be one of the stupidest comments ever made on a message board. Here it is: "We've all had friends with HIV and, in general, we know what they've looked like at different stages in their medication. If, for any reason, you get a vibe that the dude “looks poz†it's a good idea to cancel the date as politely as possible." Oz speaks of having friends with HIV in the past tense and it's easy to see why. He wants you to avoid them- and not just that, people who "look" POZ too! With an attitude like that, his HIV friends have surely dropped him from their Rolodex. The simple fact is that you can't assume someone's status by looking at them, and, even if you think someone is POZ, that's no reason to run away, however politely Oz has you do it. You can safely have sex with someone who is POZ and live to tell about it. It's just a matter of using that AIDS education you have been receiving for the last 20 years. The virus is hard to transmit, and we know how to avoid it. A little common sense, that same sense you should be using with ALL of your tricks, will keep you healthy and happy for years to come. The only people you have to politely run away from are people giving you ignorant advice. Oz can do all of the AIDS bike rides in the world, but they won't do nearly as good as he could have done by providing accurate information. I sure hope he doesn't come into contact with someone with AIDS at the bike ride- they'll have no idea what he is telling his friends about them!

How about a separate room for threads that do nothing but promote a night club or a Brandon Baker event? I mean, really, if our political discussions belong in the "crapper"...why should I have to wade through threads that are advertisements for events I won't be (hint) attending?

I agree.

Townsend has it right. thanks, lurkerspeaks, for organizing the nice weekend.

Here's hoping for a great weekend, and thanks to LurkerSpeaks for his effort in putting it together.

Thaksin sure looks like a traitor to me: Thaksin urges for more protesters By: BangkokPost.com Published: 12/04/2009 at 09:18 PM Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra made a phone-in speech to the red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) protesters outside Government House on Sunday night, calling on his supporters to gather and fight against the government. The deposed prime minister said he will return to lead his supporters, if a coup takes place. This would be the time for people to come out and revolt after the army brought tanks into the city, he said. Thaksin said that should he come back, the Democrat party will join forces with a 'dictatorship' and hurt people. He asked people to stay strong and fight for democracy for their children. "I will monitor the situation closely. Anytime the army uses force, I will return if necessary and I will not let influential figures pressure the people," said Thaksin. The self-exiled premier said he planned to make phone-ins throughout the night.

Beg to differ there, Oz. The Nation is much more intelligently done than the Post, which caters to a broader market. Nonetheless, there is no harm in checking out both when looking for the news.

I am having a very hard time understanding the "no political discussions" rule. Isn't this entire thread a political discussion? BTW, Conway, the D.L. Hughley show has been canceled on CNN.

I got fucked by a soldier once, so I should think that imbued me with some knowledge on the subject. Talk about standing at attention! Did I mention that he was a drill sergeant?

So I am not logged in, yet the counter says that Lucky is online, and I can post. But, if I go to the home page to look at pics, I can't enlarge them since I am not logged on. Is this some Catch-22 I am unaware of?

With Oz in LA for a month, I keep waiting to get invited to the MERville Lunch or something, but so far, I haven't been invited. Has anyone else met the great one as he resides in tinseltown?

"how much more NYC atmosphere can you get!" That depends. Did you have a hot NY escort to enjoy your fancy room with? THE BLACK PARTY DOES NOT START UNTIL 2 AM. SURE, YOU CAN GO EARLIER, BUT IT WON'T BE THE BLACK PARTY. AFTER 2, THE FUN BEGINS. I LEFT AT 7:30 AM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. HERE'S HOW AN OLD MAN DOES IT- YOU GO TO BED ABOUT 8, GET UP AT 1, DRESS, ETC. AND MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE CLUB. YOU'VE HAD 5 HOURS OF SLEEP ALREADY, SO IT ISN'T THAT HARD TO STAY OUT ALL NIGHT. ABOUT 4 THE PARTY IS IN FULL SWING, WITH THE ORGY ROOM FULL AND HARD DICKS EVERYWHERE. (Sorry about the caps, I hit the wrong button) Last time I went,. There were 2 orgy rooms, plus sex other places as well. One guy came up to me and asked me I wanted to buy some ecstacy. So, if you are into that, it isn't hard to find. People were openly doing coke. The music is great, the atmosphere hard, and everyone is really enjoying themselves. What more could one ask? And why has the NYPD left one venue for us to have such fun?

Really? I doubt that the Middle East has any good gay places, but I'd love to be wrong. Knowing how much you like the ladyboys, you might be disturbed to know that Kuwait's parliament passed a law that criminalized ``imitating the appearance of the opposite sex.'' Subsequent roundups netted at least 16 suspects, according to Human Rights Watch, adding that three detainees were beaten.

Beings one that always speaks correctly, I occasionally have to look stuff up to see what people mean. Sometimes if I can't think of 'ow to say it, well, someone else always can. From buzzle.com: My kitchen's so small, you can't swing a dead cat in there without getting fur in your mouth. "He has the attention span of a chicken on speed." As busy as a one-legged man at a butt-kicking contest... So ugly he could back a dog off a meat wagon... As shallow as a saucer Lower than a duck's butt As nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs It's rainin' like a cow pissin' on a flat rock" Time to piss on the fire and call the dogs. Busier than a cross-eyed cranberry picker. He's so dumb that if he saw a sign that said 'Wet Floor' he would." Tighter than a camel’s ass in a sandstorm’ That's slicker than snot on a doorknob! Couple Sandwiches short of a picnic Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Doesn't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt. Nosier than a mule in a tin shed. Faster than a blind dog's tail in a meat market. He couldn't find his ass with both hands and a flashlight. Trying to nail Jell-O to the wall Quit running around like a fart in a bottle. His eyes bugged out like a stomped on toad frog. It'll work... Like a windshield wiper on a goat’s ass Couldn't find his ass with both hands in his back pockets You're the one f**king this chicken, I'm just holding the wings... (to have suffered diarrhea): "I've just spent tuppence in ha'pennies and farthings" I'm hungry enough to eat the ass out a dead mule... Slower than smoke off of a cool turd... On Futility: It's like trying to herd cats. Don't get your crank shaft all up in a two stroke!" He was grinnin like a dog shittin a peach seed ". Quit your cryin'. You're gettin' the floor wet. Elevators in the basement and the cords have been cut. Obviously, you weren't spanked enough as a child. Happier than a four-peckered goat. --Whatever blows your skirt up for ya

That's just not true, Conway. We may not have the individual names, but we are told that over $150 million of the bonuses went to those London traders who screwed up badly by insuring any junk that came across their desk.

The company that they worked for went bankrupt. Their bonuses went bye-bye. Now the nice taxpayers have stepped in to clean up their mess, maybe save their jobs, and rather than be grateful, they want money for screwing their company into bankruptcy?

Being raised a good Catholic boy, the idea that anyone could become interested in the phallus beyond its functions escaped me. Of course, as time went on I learned to appreciate it more, but I was still surprised to learn that in some cultures people were much more open about their worship of pricks. Several years ago I toured the phallus garden at the Hilton Hotel in Bangkok, where phalluses of all shapes and sizes were on display, many clothed in colorful outfits. The hotel was forced to keep the garden when it bought the land, but they don't exactly advertise it. Today there is a review in the NY Times of a book called The Fires of Vesuvius, where an author debunks many of the myths developed after the discovery of the ruins of Pompeii. One thing these folks did do was love their penises: "For one thing, much of the art is highly eroticized, even when not bluntly pronographic....there seem to be phalluses everywhere. Enormous ones, tiny ones, doubles, singles; attached to men, gods or satyrs in every medium or in disembodied splendor; over doors, carved into the pavement, on chains and serving trays, turned into lamps winged like birds, with bells on. Even some of the phalluses have phalluses. If they were good luck charms, as is sometimes thought, it obviously didn't work." Didn't work? Hey Pompeii died, the phallus lived! Much to the satisfaction of those of us who spend bucks in our own pursuit of the phallus.

Well, I don't agree at all. They took billions in bailouts. That means we, the American taxpayers, gave up for them. And now they can't give back in return? Screw them. They screwed up badly and shouldn't be rewarded.

The economy sucks, it's hard to hire when you are broke. And, if you do, you have to worry about getting it up. I love the Vive Viagra commercial where the older guy dances with the (always) younger woman, both smiling because they know a fuck is coming. Then they get on the elevator to go to his room- the elevator, get it? Kids all over America know that gramps is about to get laid. (The escort fee isn't mentioned.) But now there is more inadequacy. Is your dick big enough? Can you compete? Lately I have been seeing commercials where beautiful ladies tell me I can make it bigger. Unsaid is that I had better if I want a go with her.) So, a scientist did an informal study on ExtenSE pills, and here are the results, at, appropriately enough, The Daily Beast, the new website from Brit wonder woman Tina Brown: http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-sto...e-for-upsizing/

Care to know about George Michaels bathroom romps? Here's a blog entry from January 2008. It's 15 months later and I can't find the book at Barnes & Noble: Except for JK Rowling, George Michael got one of the biggest publishing deals ever in the UK. Reports are that just for the UK rights he was given about $6M. The reason he was given that much is that George has promised that he will spill all and tell all about his life and that everyone will want to read what he has to say. "George has promised HarperCollins a no-holds barred biography, and it's certain to be just that," the singer's manager, Andy Stephens, said in a statement Wednesday. "People aren't stupid, they're beginning to notice that the truth is more interesting than the stories the press come up with!" The truth is mush more interesting because we all know it is fact. However, after skimming through the Boy George biography again the other day because I wanted to re-read the bits and pieces about Gavin Rossdale, I am not sure that we will get the truth from George Michael. Oh, I'm sure we will get some good stories but I don't think it will be as honest as Boy George's book. Boy talks a lot of smack about George Michael in his book and it will be interesting to see if George just glosses over things or if he will give us what we want to know. I want it to be good and think it will be one of the very best tell all type of biographies if he spills. I'm just not sure that he will given his past and how private he has always been. Time will tell.

Vanity Fair discusses a new biography of author John Cheever, where his daughter is quoted as saying that his love for men precluded anything swishy. "...he prided himself on maintaining a masculine front with no minty accents. Swish he abhorred. Although he loved men, she says, he feared and despised what he defined as the homosexual community; the limp-wristed, lisping men who are sometimes the self-appointed representatives of homosexual love in our culture. Men who run gift shops, sell antiques, strike bargains over porcelain tea sets." I wonder what he would have thought of Adam Lambert...or Ryan Seacrest...or a butch guy like me? Or do I care?

I have a free ticket booked to Europe this summer- in business class, to boot- but paying for transportation and hotels when I get there could still make for a very expensive time. But everyday it seems to get cheaper as the dollar goes up (well, not yesterday). The trouble is that I want to be in Edinburgh for the Festival- and that's when everyone else wants to be there. Paris in August isn't so bad, and London, well, is it ever cheap?
