A Hostboy

My boy special brought me some roses tonight. It is not a speical day other than Halloween. Perhaps he was telling me that I was ghastly but the thought was nice. I just love getting flowers. Speaking of Halloween, there were many bars in Boyztown, Sunee and Day/Night that had a few guys dressed up. Yes, I did make it to all 3 areas. However, NONE of them do it like the ladies. I ate over on Soi 7 at Tequila Grill and the entire staff was dressed up. Many of the lady bars in the area were also in full dress. I loved Halloween in NYC when I lived there. The Village Halloween Parade that ended at Webster Hall was the best gathering all year. Happy Halloween to all.

Welcome back. Glad you are here!

Yes, there is a list of countries. My favorite is BRAZIL.

Are you kidding GayButton? I love leftovers the next day. Nothing like a Turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce.

For God's sake, Rose, let it rest. The man is just as much a part of our community now as he was when he resided here. I get so fucking tired of all these nasty remarks from many of you guys. I am sure you know that you just get him riled up and things get pissier. When people get pissy, they keep me up at night. When I stay up all night, I have trouble with erections the next day. Thus, you are spoiling my fun time. Be nice.

I'll mark my calendar for this and look forward to the party. Congrats on one year!

Thank you to everyone who has been supportive of us in the past year. We have now been live for over a year and we continue to grow in numbers of members and visitors. A special thank you to GayButton and Rainwalker. Without them, Stef and I would be lost in the message boards. They have given us great guidance and advice over the past year and have taken on a more active role as the time went by. Thanks also to Allen from PattayaGay for all his work and inspiration. When we get in trouble and need advice, he is always willing to help. When the site was banned in Thailand, Allen was actively involved in helping us get the ban lifted. We thank the posters on the forum for making things so interesting and fun. While I do know things get a bit out of hand at times, we appreciate you continuing to post and participate. Lastly, I want to thank Stef. He is the brains behind the site. He is the one that does ALL the admin work, takes the photos, and deals with programmers and code. It was his idea to start the site and it really has been 98% his work. He is really a great guy and for those of you who have not met him, you are missing the chance to meet one of the sweetest men to visit Thailand on a regular basis. I raise a glass and toast all and say thank you for making this site like good wine; it only gets better with time.

We have an area in the City Guide section for Reviews of new places in Thailand. If you have been to a new restaurant, bar, club, etc. please post your findings there. It will help us add to the database and will also help others to find new places to try.

When you put a group of gay men together, you often get a group that likes to gossip. I am not sure there is any place better in Pattaya to find out what is going on that at Jomptien. No matter where you sit, if you listen, you will hear all about one's life, love and dreams. Yesterday, I sat with my boyfriend and he fell asleep. Perhaps, I was just too exciting for him to chat. I closed my eyes a bit as my favorite massage boy (named Noi and about 37 years old, shaved head and gives one of the best strong hand massages in Pattaya) massaged my legs. Man it felt great. As I tried to relax, I heard the conversations to my right, my left, in front of me and behind me. Man on man, I never realized so much was happening in Pattaya. Perhaps I need to stay out past 11 PM one night this week.

One of the most beautiful festivals in Thailand occurs this weekend. It is a beautiful event. I had friends last year that spent it in Chiang Mai and had a fabulous time. Stef and I spent it in Pattaya last year and loved it. If you want to see the best place for the festival, be sure to book your favorite chairs on Jomptien beach as they are selling tickets for the food part of the evening now. I had friends last year that didn't get to sit where they wanted because they waited too long and the tickets were sold out. Here is a little history of the event: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/5265/loykrath.html Here is the link to the pictures we took last year in our gallery. http://www.gaythailand.com/gallery2/main.p...navId=x354f3b33

A new exhibition at Liam's begins on November 4th, 2006 at 8PM. The exhibition runs through the 24th of November. For those of you that have not been to Liam

Last night I was with a new guy. He was born and raised in Pattaya. When I sat with him at the bar, he could not speak a word of English. He could answer no questions and could not even say hello in English. I thought he was cute so I spend some time with him. After sex, he said: "Are you happy? Do you like me? How was it?" I looked at him and said, "I thought you could not speak English." He smiled and said Nitnoi. It was a miracle. I like to think that the 30 minutes he spent with me changed his life and he was now able to have a firm grasp of the English language. Or, perhaps I was just too good in bed that he was able to speak in tongues? Or, just perhaps, I was played? Not sure but I am still laughing about it this AM.

I think the word love is not meant the same way and we use it for a life long relationship. I think it is more a sense of multifaceted feeling and younger people use it much more than us old farts. Having brought more than a few 1st world hookers here for a visit, there is not one of them that would disagree with the young man's statements about the 2 types of clients here or how wonderful the people in Thailand are. Hell, that is why we all visit here. They are the sweetest people on earth IMHO. I don't think there is much that most escorts from other places that visit here would disagree with in his assertion. Just because you and I tend to look at the world through a microscope, analyzing each action lets not let those that still have the innocence to look at the world in rose-colored glasses. It makes the world so much more picturesque.

LOL Aren't most here for the intercourse? Personally, I love the social intercourse.

My role is not just moderator but also a poster. I enjoy posting on the boards and I have read and reread this thread and see nothing that GayButton should have major issues with. Perhaps Marrice and I had a few words but they didn't get out of hand. We both moved on from them. As a matter of fact, I invited him for a movie night. I have never seen GB act like a pussy. Quite the opposite. He is always on top of things and does a great job at moderating the site. On the other hand, you and LMTU get into one pissing contest after another. When it goes to far for you, you request it be deleted. How about this? Why don't you just stop posting about him totally and he will do the same. That will make the moderators job on both sites much easier. You seem to enjoy calling him names that are inappropriate. He does the same to you. I really don't see how you can ask in one paragraph to have something deleted that you started in the first place. I know the 2 of you will never be friends. I could care less. However, to solve the problem on this site, I will from now on delete any referece you make toward him and he toward you, no matter how sly or witty or under the table it may be. I think it is the buildup of traffic in Bangkok and Pattaya brought on by the start of high season. I have noticed many more cars and much more traffic. The fumes get to me. Perhaps I need to wear a mask when I drive my scooter? I think PeterUK and WowPow summed it up quite nicely. This is really paradise. No place on earth like it. Why am I so gullible? The eyes. The smooth skin. The sweet spirit. The good intentions. Mix all of that with someone who I think enjoys my company, and I get gullible very easily.

WoW. I never knew you felt this way. Can we get together and watch The Green Mile or Titanic together. I do love a good hanky movie. Seriously, thanks for the long post. It was well-written and although I know it did not refer to me, I will read it and learn from it.

Just curious: Are you related to Cruella Deville?

P. T. Barnum Never Did Say "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute" By R. J. Brown Editor-in-Chief P. T. Barnum is most often associated with the circus sideshow and the display of freaks. While this is true, he is also the founding force behind one of America's most famous circuses: Barnum & Bailey Circus. Barnum is also affiliated with the famous quote "There's a sucker born every minute." History, unfortunately, has misdirected this quotation. Barnum never did say it. Actually, it was said by his competitor. Here's the incredible story. From 1866 until 1868 Mr. George Hull, of Binghamton, New York studied archeology and paleontology. Over this period of time Hull contemplated how to pull off a hoax. It seems that many an evangelist at the time had been preaching that there were giants in the earth. In June of 1868 Hull traveled back to Fort Dodge, Iowa where there was a gypsum quarry he had recalled seeing two years earlier. Even then, he had noticed that the dark blue streaks running through the soft lime rock resembled human veins. Realizing this its appearance was tailor-made for his hoax and it was easy to carve, Hull hired a group of quarry workers to cut off a slab measuring twelve feet long, four feet wide and two feet thick. In November, Hull had his gypsum wrapped in canvas and hoisted onto a wagon. Since the nearest railroad was forty miles away, it proved to be a long, difficult job. He then had the slab of gypsum shipped by rail to Chicago where he had hired a stone cutter named Edward Burghardt to carve a giant. Burghardt and his two assistants, were sworn to secrecy and agreed to work on the piece in a secluded barn during their off hours and Sundays. The instructions were to carve the giant as if it had died in great pain, and the final result was an eerie figure, slightly twisted in apparent agony, with his right hand clutching his stomach. All of the details were there; toenails, fingernails, nostrils, sex organs and so forth. Even a needlepoint mallet was used to add authentic-looking skin pores. When the carving was done, sulfuric acid and ink were used to make the figure look aged. The giant finished, Hull then had the figure shipped by rail to the farm of William Newell, his cousin, located near the town of Cardiff, New York. In the dead of night, Hull, Newell and his oldest son buried the giant between the barn and house. They were instructed to say nothing about it and that Hull would let them know in about a year of what the next stage was. Luckily, about six months later, on another farm near the Newell's, some million year-old fossil bones were dug up. Newspapers around the country reported the finding. Hull was filled with glee in reading the accounts. True to his word, one year after burying the giant, Hull sent word to his cousin on October 15, 1869, to start the next stage of the hoax. Newell hired two laborers to dig a new well near his home. Newell directed them to the exact spot he wanted the well dug and went back into the house to wait -- anxiously. Sure enough, well into the day, the two laborers rushed up to the house to announce their discovery: a giant turned to stone! The laborers and both Newells carefully excavated the area surrounding the giant. News of this amazing discovery spread throughout the valley and soon wagon loads of neighbors streamed into Newell's farm to see the giant. By mid-afternoon, Newell erected a tent around the "grave" and started charging 25 cent admission. Two days later, the Syracuse Journal (New York) printed an article about the discovery. Being greedy, Newell raised the price to 50 cents, and a stage coach company made four round trips a day from Syracuse to the Newell farm. Thousands came every day. Among the visitors were clergymen, college professors and distinguished scientists. Before long, the expert's opinions split into two theories; one side claimed it was a true fossilized human giant and the other side pronounced it an authentic ancient statue. No one asserted that it was a fake! About ten days after the discovery, and about the time the Cardiff Giant, as the papers had named it, started receiving national attention, Hull sold two-thirds interest in the giant for $30,000 to a five-man syndicate in Syracuse, the head of which was a banker named David Hannum. The syndicate moved the giant to an exhibition hall in Syracuse and raised the admission price to a dollar a head. Unknown to them, P. T. Barnum sent an agent to see the giant and make an assessment. The particular Sunday the representative saw the giant, the crowds were abnormally large -- about 3,000 people. The agent wired the news back to Barnum and Barnum instructed him to make an offer of $50,000 to buy it. Hannum turned his offer down. The Cardiff Giant was the most talked about exhibit in the nation. Barnum wanted the giant to display himself while the attraction was still a hot topic of the day. Rather than upping his offer, Barnum hired a crew of workers to carve a giant of his own. Within a short time, Barnum unveiled HIS giant and proclaimed that Hannum had sold Barnum the original giant and that Hannum was now displaying a fake! Thousands of people flocked to see Barnum's giant. Many newspapers carried the version that Barnum had given them; that is, Hannum's giant was a fake and Barnum's was authentic. It is at this point that Hannum -- NOT BARNUM -- was quoted as saying "There's a sucker born every minute." Hannum, still under the impression that HIS giant was authentic, was referring to the thousands of "fools" that paid money to see Barnum's fake and not his authentic one. Hannum brought a lawsuit against Barnum for calling his giant a fake. When it came to trial, Hull stepped forward and confessed that the Cardiff Giant was a hoax and the entire story. The judge ruled that Barnum could not be sued for calling Hannum's giant a fake since it was a fake after all. Thereafter, Hannum's name was lost to history while Barnum was left with the misplaced stigma of being the one to say "There's a sucker born every minute." http://www.historybuff.com/library/refbarnum.html He is also to have allegedly have said:

When I am in NYC, rest assured I pay much more for a working boy than I do for a handyman. I would say about 250 USD more per hour. However, many of the guys I have met are also handmen so sometimes I kill 2 birds with one stone. Nope. I know green when I see it. Plus, my guys spent time with him and got to know him. They are a very good judge of other boys. I think you are quite right. They talk about us just as much as we talk about them. They know where we live, what we do, how well we tip, what we like, the size of our pocketbook and dick, the exboyfriends names, what we like to eat, etc. If you think that only we like to be chatty and catty, you arer wrong. They are talking the talk and walking the walk just as much as we are. My dear WowPow. when LMTU tells you about a boy, you need to go fast to get him. He has a great eye for the special ones. But, he also can't keep it to himself. Most of the time, I get his text and rush there ASAP. You live a few blocks further away than I do. By the time you get there, they ae already back swimming in my pool.

>It's not all about money boys. (Hand clasped on heart. Feet swaggering) I'm coming to you Ethel.
