  1. Its seems on all sorts of scripted shows, especially soap operas, characters are caught thinking out loud. I know this is a plot device to advance story lines. I am curious if you think out loud and have those thoughts undermined your sinister plans for revenge? I do occasionally think out loud, usually to urge myself into action when thinking in my head just is not enough. Now where did I put my keys?
  2. I fully support her personally but as far as my representation of the Department, I have tried to be representative of their wishes. I usually preface comments from the Advisory committee with a statement that "the committee brought forth" whereas if I make a statement on my own, I clearly state that to be the fact. The committee is made of Chairs from other Departments who know full well that I am my Departments representative and that I work daily with one of the candidates. OF the other three candidates, one I have known for 30 years and the other two for more than 10. I have worked with all the others and when I speak of them, I do not hesitate to point out positive things they have done. I do not believe asking for a different interview order that may or may not aid my candidate is a ruse or a subterfuge. In the end, I had no more influence on the interview order than others, but I was the only one who brought it up as a consideration. And as a paint, I understand that interview order may not be a big factor. My question really involved whether there was any data to settle the discussion I had with a colleague as to whether it did or did not. I think going last is an advantage, but as others have pointed out, going first is at times considered an advantage.
  3. From What I have read, there are arguments for first interviewed and last interviewed defending on a variety of factors. These interviews are being done for one hour, one day a week over four weeks. As the four candidates are known to most of the committee, there may well be favorites based on prior relationships. Any little advantage may not overcome that. The one advantage the person going last might have is based on the question panel. The committee has decided that all four candidates will be asked the same 11 questions with an opening statement and a closing statement. The person going last may learn what questions are being asked as these things have a way of leaking out. I think the format should be changed to allow a candidate to be questioned based on their individual strengths and weaknesses. That was deemed unfair by the committee as a whole in a close vote. I am in a position to have a larger than average stake in the outcome, as the person getting the position will be the Chair of my department. The Committee members are Chairs of other Departments. I have a non-voting role and I am there to act as a liaison between the Department and the Committee. I was selected by the Department as a whole to Chairthe Committee that is advising the Selection Committee of the Department's needs and wants and to report back to the Department concerning the selection process. Pretty much, I am the middle man in a three person game of Telephone. .
  4. Clearly labels have a role in life. If you were going to test the dog before adopting it, it may play some role in your choice. Once you have it, would you give him up because he is not genetically what you though he would be? Canine M. Butterfly, love the idea of the ideal dog but not the dog itself. I do not envision you to be that guy.
  5. They are equally qualified on initial evaluation by the committee as a whole. I have worked with all four for at least 10 years. I am confident that the one I favor is capable of doing a better job than the others. She is also the only non white and only female candidate with a an all white male committee. She also has the most important position right now and would need to be replaced which will likely work against her as it would be easier to take one of the others who have positions which are more readily filled. In fact, at the first search committee meeting one of the members said flat out, why do we have to interview her, we should just let her stay where she is, without the qualifying rhetoric about being difficult to replace.

    Hung??

    No matter the length or the girth, hung is anything I can't fully accommodate orally, so few guys are hung by that standard. . As I very rarely do anal, hung is anything that makes me breath hard which is pretty much everybody.
  7. I had two big black dogs. I always thought of them as Newfoundland Labrador mixes. No matter what they were, I loved them and they were great companions and protectors. Why bother labeling your dog, tell people what you think he is and call it a day. Save the cash and buy him a toy and a few pounds of bones.
  8. I am on a committee which is to interview four candidates for a job that they are all equally qualified to fill. I have a favored candidate and I convinced the chairman of the committee to interview in reverse alphabetical order rather than alphabetical order. This moved my candidate's interview position from first to last. I felt that by doing so, I increased her chances of success. My thinking is that by the time the fourth candidate is interviewed, she will only have to outshine one candidate, Each member of the committee would have likely picked their favorite from the first three and though it may be a different candidate for each member of the committee, she would only have to outshine that one candidate. In discussing this with a friend, they are of the opinion that it does not matter as she still needs to be the best candidate. I think that when it comes down to it, it will always be between her and one other candidate per decider whereas in any other interview position you will be compared to two or three candidates head to head and must outshine each one, one at a time. So game theorists, who is right on this? Is going last an advantage or not?
  9. Did anyone else anticipate all of them doing the YMCA dance. Quite a disappointment that they did not. Nice Bods though
  10. I saw him years ago in NYC. He was heading to the UK, At the time, he was the best escort I had ever hired. His efforts have eventually been passed by several guys, but he was hot, and active and though he did not succeed, he was the first guy to make a really concerted effort to fuck my ass. .The fact that I told him no seemed to make it more of a challenge for him. In retrospect, maybe I should have tried it then.
  11. Who knew nail polish wearing muscle boys cause defunding of the police. The long and winding road...
  12. After centuries of patriarchy, women attacked masculinity by getting the vote. Wearing pants and smoking cigarettes as men did in the 1860s was just another step toward women being able to step outside the shadow of men. Nail polish worn by a few men as a fashion statement is no more an attack on masculinity than men becoming nurses and women becoming doctors. It is only a problem if you are wedded to an immutable standard of masculinity and feminity. That is more in the eye of the beholder than in reality. There is a funny series of insurance commercials in which the is a Dr. Phil like guru is teaching middle aged adults how to avoid becoming their parents. They hit close to home but the segment of those commercials that comes closest to an example of past generational thinking is one in which Dr. Phil lite is with several of his students in a box store and a young man walks by with blue hair. Dr. Phil lite whispers "We all sea it We all see it". A balding middle aged man struggles to contain it but eventually he burst out "Blue Hair". It would have worked as well if the young man was wearing pink nail polish. For the most part, I would not find nail polish on men to be a turn on, though I do find a French manicure a big turn on when women have them. This speaks to an elegance and sophistication, for me anyway. So I am old fashioned in my tastes but not in my perceptions, well at this not in this one.
  13. You say assault on masculinity. Perhaps you are not old enough to recall the assault on femininity such as women wearing pants. Life is change. Some change is fun some change is annoying but change itself is inevitable. This is especially true when is comes to standards of masculinity and femininity. Powdered wigs anyone?
  14. Skye was the fishnet guy and Vince Ferrelli the Purdue Boilermaker.
  15. Chances are you did not pick the murderer. I would guess
  16. There definitely is a plastic surgical procedure that externalizes a bit of the penis that has been internal. Can be used for those with very short unusable penises to get to the length that usual sexual contact is possible.
  17. Jacob Degrom is the best pitcher in baseball. Off the injured list he pitched 5 innings gave up three hits and a home run and stuck out 9 while walking none. Of course the Mets got him only one run so he had a no decision even though the Mets went on to win the game. Any other foolish nominations for best pitcher in baseball?
  18. R rated at best. No hard dicks, no penetration just a bunch of guys naked and rubbing on each other. It was kind of like the Palm Springs pool party. lol
  19. I enjoyed it. Some interesting man on man R rated sex, or perhaps PG. Loved the mustaches.
  20. I just received a notification that I am being called to virtual jury duty. I do not have to attend but I have to be available by phone to go in to be questioned for a panel should my name be selected. One trip in and no sitting there for a week. Anyone else been selected for this?
  21. I am thinking Barry but I am considering Betty as Sue Ann Nivens lying on her vibrating bed and looking up at herself in the mirror on the ceiling and perhaps that may be the way to go
  22. One of these days I need to have you be the subject of my objectification. Not to mention the object of my subjugation.
  23. You are there to be sexually gratified. He is there to give you that gratification and perhaps have some himself. And then there is the cash for him, always gratifying to him. So like any other purchase, in this case his time and expertise, you need to ask for the bells and whistles you want. Or...you can simply say, to him, please go with my flow and then flow like a river. You are paying to have a good time. So have a good time. Do not expect him to be a mindreader but he should be able to read your body, your vocal reactions and your intentions. If he fails to do that, then just say, in your sultriest voice, turn that hot muscle ass around and sit on my face you fucking animal....if that is what you want. \
