Lucky

Congrats on snagging the low first class fares!

What I read last month in Bangkok is that Tawan is now more of a chubby chaser bar.

This "massive" change has caused me to be inundated with notes and letters from cute guys the world over. It seems as if most of Boytoy's 30000 members have reached out to me. Sadly, I accidentally deleted them all.

Where in this thread is living on a fixed income mentioned? I don't know what your point is.

It's right that we set a day aside to honor a man who represents black America in the eyes of many, and who was a great American as well. The dirt that J. Edgar Hoover, one of history's true losers, gathered on King should not not surprise a single member of this board. Sex is a strange ally for most of us. Why shouldn't it have been for Dr. King? (Ask JFK.) There is an article in today's NY Times where a remote black father goes into the mall with his daughter and has "the talk." What it means to be black in today's America. It's well-worth reading: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/17/style/the-talk-being-black-in-america.html So, I hope we don't see this holiday as just another day off from work, but a day to recognize our fellow Americans, many the descendants of slaves, as worthy of our respect and admiration.

The news today is so depressing. How is it that we seem to elect the least qualified to lead us over and over? One politician supposedly offering hope is Beto O'Rourke. Yet during the recent campaign, he declined to endorse a gay, Filipina-American, Iraq war veteran running in a Texas district. Instead, he went on a road trip with her opponent, a Republican! That's not the kind of guy I can get behind. Why are the candidates all trying to set new lows? (NY Times)

Kamala Harris looking bad in today's paper: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/19/kamala-harris-2020-election-top-cop-prosecutor

Yes, Oz, this hypothetical presidency would allow all legitimate payments to escorts to be tax-deductible PROVIDING that one or both parties were brought to orgasm, and the event was not in public.

Unlike everyone just elected to Congress for the first time who now plans to run for President, I declare today that I have no plans to run for President, and will not run even if 10% of the Boytoy members urge me to do so. Is that clear enough? Take Kamala Harris, newly elected to Congress. She has less experience than Trump! Yet folks take her seriously rather than tell her to shut up, sit, and listen to her elders for a few years. She was a mediocre prosecutor, a temporary Attorney General, and a former flame of the notorious Willie Brown. But President?

All ideas will be forwarded to my travel secretary. Thanks!

What is CDMX?

Unlike my favorite writer here, I have no new trips planned. I discount the venture to Raleigh as it is for a family wedding. (Not that I want to go looking). so, what does one do in Raleigh? Perhaps I will find the wherewithal to New York. We'll see. Where would you go if you could?

In Hong Kong, various touts appproach people, often aggressively, to hand out cards for tailors. I always hate to sayno, but now I have a new dilemma. What do I do with the 416 new suits, along with the shirt upgrades and the ties? I don’t wear these things anymore. Maybe I could start a Go Fund Me page so I can pay for them. Anybody out there my size?

Hehe, I am retired! But, it was nice to see that aI have retained some of my legal skills.

If you think that I disagree with that, you miss my point. My concern was being a one-trick pony when I know that you have so much more to offer this website.

I am glad that Oz has a really thick skin.

I think that Hong Kong is the capital city for hot young Asian men. Yet they do seem more interested in a sexy appearance than sex itself. Rome was like that, too. But, if Asian men do not interest you, then the hot looks may not work for you. I do agree that Chinese generally do not age well, my, husband being a true exception.. i didn’t age all that well, either, and I am Caucasian!

When you finish your oatmeal, the next product you might want could be Fortacin, a spray recently approved for use in Hong Kong and Macau. The product is sprayed directly on the penis with the goal of delaying ejaculation.With an estimated 140 million men in Mainland China being impotent, the market for this product could get really big. Approval is spreading throughout Southeast Asia. In the US, the drug is stuck in the FDA approval process. In the European Union, so far 23,500 prescriptions for the spray have been filled. A possible side effect is a burning sensation both the user and the partner. A condom would protect the partner. This product is already available in a cream, which has the same ingredients, but is sold over the counter as EMLA. source: scmp.com

Keep guessing, Michael! Perhaps you could add the link to the content. I want to encourage folks here to visit the site and help keep the information up to date. Remember, I am always here 4 you!

All I am trying to is publicize the new change as I have not seen that happen other than when using the site. Of course I know that Michael is Oz. Was there something wrong in trying to put a little humor into it? People are going to read something light-hearted before they read about technical changes. That’s my opinion. As for Lucky not being on the site, I did mention that my registration as such did not go through.

Well, here’s what happened. Coming back to the hotel tonight there was no activity at reception, so I approached a cute young guy with a nice, full head of hair. I told him the story: I am paying 1955 HK a night. I found on the website that rates had gone down. Tonight was 1530, the next two nights 1338. He basically called me a liar, insisting that their rates are never that low. He said he had just booked a walk-in who paid the 1900 or so. Well, I went to my room and checked again. I found the same rates that I saw earlier. Our young friend was in disbelief, even when I showed him the numbers on the website. He had a breakthrough, though, because “Oh, sir, this is a special rate. You have to be a...” Then he looked up at me and stopped speaking. I said I am already on this senior rate. So he went behind closed doors for a considerable time. When he returned, he had found the same rate for tonight, but an even lower rate for the next two nights, 1275. Bottom line he said he would give me the reduced rates for tonight and the next two nights, but not for the first night since that has come and gone. I did not disagree. Because the rates are subject to 10% tax, I saved 10% more on the reduction. My total savings should be 2051 HK. It’s not quite $300 US, Ms. Guy, but awfully close. When I guessed three hundred earlier, I was figuring all 4 nights. But, I am happy. Anyone want to hire me to argue for them?

I do wonder sometimes why newbies don’t realize that this forum is a deep font of information to be used to get the answers to what you want to know. Too many guys think they are the first ever with these questions, and it’s a compliment to our members that they patiently help as much as they can. But, at some point one needs to take the bull by the horn. Or something like that!

In the past, I enjoyed the forums at the website gaythailand.com. Once I felt I had learned what it had to offer, I deleted my screen name but kept reading the forums. You can’t do that anymore. I couldn’t. The owner of the site wanted to move on, so the name was sold, but what to do with years of content? Well, some fellow that probably has never run a forum took it over and combined it into gayguides.com. That was great that this kind fellow preserved the content and allowed it to stay alive. His name is Michael and I wish him all the best with the site. But, he totallly doesn’t know that I can’t read the content! When I tried to resurrect my old name I was denied. When I tried to register as Lucky, I filled out all of the information, but the page wouldn’t proceed with the registration. And now I see that you have to be registered to see the content, a new factor. This site was very helpful to me, and now that I have left Thailand for the unforeseeable future, I would like to use the site to stay in touch with what’s happening. So, Michael,...wait a minute! Michael?. Isn’t that Totally Oz? Oh, geez. I hope I haven’t foreclosed my options here!

Most big cities are fucked up. Been to New York, Adam? Hong Kong isn’t the fun of Bangkok, but the cute guys are everywhere. And I mean really cute! We accidentally stumbled upon a restauarant today that had a Thai theme. A very cute boy was interviewing for a job, but he hadn’t taken his cap off. When he stood, I could see the big holes in his jeans with the knees falling out. He had another hole below the pocket, allowing a flash of underwear to show. Did he know the manager was probably gay? That’d be one way to get the job. He wai’d the manager when he left, so he could be Thai. Hmm, former bar boy? (Stop dreaming. Hong Kong is making me horny.) But anyway, that’s what a fucked up city has, stories like that!

And that’s what we did, with pretty darn good results.
