If in fact pictures of Bezos nude are forthcoming, I think the community response should be to ignore them. It wouldn't be that hard as I couldn't care less what his penis looks like.

The pictures alone would keep me from reading this book.

I am about half-way through this erotic novel. The quarterback has taken the young football player's cherry. It was a hot scene. But, now I have to clean my screen! Again!

I prefer reading novels to watching TV. Tonight I did try to find something to watch on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. The Jimmy Kimmel monologue is usually worth watching. But I want something that engrosses me, like Breaking Bad.

I avoided going to Rio but was hit by a car in Canada. We make our choices and take our chances.

I donated to former American Indian Elizabeth Warren, but fortunately my check bounced.

Some guys tell little lies and some guys tell big lies. Some guys lie so much you don't know if they ever tell the truth. The author A.J. Finn, of last year's big success The Woman in the Window, appears to be in a category all to himself. His life is such a lie that you couldn't believe a thing he says, at least that's the implication of a New Yorker article this week. He spun lengthy tales of his mother's death to cancer, his father's, his brother's suicide, despite the fact that all three are still alive. He himself claimed a brain tumor and a spinal tumor, neither of which he really had, but he milked the stories at length. Is it no surprise that he can spin a tale into a novel? It is mentioned that he is gay, lives in Chelsea, but it is not a factor in the story. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/02/11/a-suspense-novelists-trail-of-deceptions Ian Parker's lengthy investigation had my jaw dropping repeatedly. If you want a shorter version, the Washington Post has it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/if-the-author-of-woman-in-the-window-is-a-serial-liar-can-we-still-love-his-book/2019/02/04/07b781cc-2894-11e9-984d-9b8fba003e81_story.html?utm_term=.ef810dbc6e0e The Post article also asks the question "Can we still love his book?" That's a good one. I enjoyed the novel. I don't think I know much about the author of any novel I read. But Finn's story is so intricate that I doubt I would ever read him again. Gay or not!

They don't make Trump look very good, but now he's the King!

Are trip reports now so fraught with danger on Boytoy? Are we too critical of an audience? I'd be glad to read about your Merida adventures. I think we all think of our commentary as at worst constructive criticism, but you can simply ask people not to take that route and write what and how you want. Or so I think.

It's always an entertaining read! And now with @Latbear4blk to churn the excitement!

I took a knee during the national anthem and then couldn't get back up until half-time. Seeing all those tattoos on Adam Levine made me jump!

This thread is really getting deep.

Yes, although I voted for him and liked him. He has charisma, unlike Hillary. She might have been a better president, but I suspect she would compete with Trump for self-enrichment in office.

In general, being soft on crime isn't good for a politician, but it depends on the crime. The Baltimore DA just announced that she won't prosecute any more marijuana cases. She has overturned a law all by herself. Kamala Harris was DA in San Francisco. There they don't prosecute the homeless for any crime short of murder. The voters would have a fit. A multitude of minor crimes are not prosecuted there, mostly small thefts, shoplifting, damaging property. So the prosecutor is soft on crime, and the voters like it. It's just a matter of degree. As for Backpage, it in itself isn't missed so much, but Rentboy is gone and now Tumblr. There is a war on sex. Kamala Harris showed no interest in it once she achieved her goal of becoming a Senator. She is strictly a politician, all about herself. She won no laurels in my opinion . I can't imagine electing someone so green as President. Like Trump!

With his win at the Golden Globes, Rami Malek increased his chances of winning Best Actor at the Oscars. The handsome actor has won many fans. And now, someone has leaked an undated photo of Rami, apparently from high school: He's changed, that's for sure, but I think he will win:

The question of whether he should continue the series is separate from how one enjoys it. Yes, the novelty has worn off, but even I don't tire of reading well-written stories about sex. I want to read Numazu's book!

As Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris took the lead in prosecuting things like "revenge porn". She did n't support the law that gave Internet sites' owners protections from things posted on their sites by others- nude pictures, for example. Then she took on Backpage and was instrumental in getting it closed down due to its sex ads. All of this helps her get elected to the Senate, where, after a few days in office, she declares for President. But now, however, sex on the internet doesn't seem to interest her at all. She's not active with fellow Congressmen carrying on her work from California. Her Presidential campaign is off to a great start. Did Backpage die for her to rise? https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/02/01/kamala-harris-porn-california-attorney-general-facebook-twitter-silicon-valley-224534

A Singaporean doctor used his own blood to make sure that his American lover would pass an HIV test, allowing him to work in Singapore and live with the doctor. At some point in their relationship, the American got the names of some 14,000 Singaporeans with HIV and released them on the internet. Who knows why? Now the couple is in big trouble as indiscretions apparently led the government to discover the fraudulent tests. 8800 of those on the HIV list are foreigners, making one wonder why Singapore made such a big deal out of keeping out people with HIV. The list members now live in fear of their information going public. The story starts in 2008, and is hard to quickly summarize, so here's the Washington Post report: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/02/01/an-american-hid-his-hiv-status-survive-singapore-exposed-he-punished-thousands-living-with-virus-authorities-say/?utm_term=.e018332108b1

Your stories are always well-written and interesting. But, of necessity, they become continuing episodes of you hunting and fucking. The novelty has sort of worn off, but I still enjoy reading them. But if I am honest, not as much. And the term genetic freaks, it's pretty dehumanizing. And now you are in Brazil again. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy, as I say, reading the stories. But as they continue, you might try to find a different angle or consider that sometimes less is more? Well, you did ask. And I am just one opinion here.

"For the next few hours," Avianca is offering fares to Colombia from the US starting at $265, with allowance for two pieces of baggage. Well, golly gee. I'd like to go to Colombia. It is $265...from Miami. To Bogota from LAX is $500...is that a deal? It's a nonstop flight. The offer ends "in a day." UPDATE: The sale ends tomorrow, has a $300 change fee but is otherwise nonrefundable, and there is a 7 day minimum trip. You can go anytime until the end of April. Problem for me is I want to go to Medellin, not Bogota.

I bought the 133 page novel for my Kindle. I'll get back to you on it!

Numazu?

Endless Dream, it would be great if you could bring more of the Taiwanese forum members to our site. We need diversity and different points of view, plus some of them might be pretty cute!

I have no sympathy and hope he is suffering a lot.

Years ago I was in San Juan and wanted to go to the strip shows. So I checked out the one most famous during the daytime and learned that showtime was 2 and 4 a.m. That's a little late even for my younger self!
