I’m envious, the guy’s handsome AF. I wanted to spend time in CDMX after my 3 months in Madrid, but the airfares were crazy expensive.

Just googled it, Weissmuller first played Tarzan in 1932. Wow, that loincloth is awfully racy for that era.

Hmm, Luckin may be on to something. Only 25% of Starbucks’ revenue comes from in-store consumption whereas 75% is takeout, drive-thru, and delivery. I can understand paying a premium for comfy place to hang out and free WiFi, but if you’re just driving off, all you care about is price and quality. If Luckin can provide comparable quality for a much lower price, then that 75% of Starbucks’ revenue is in serious jeopardy.

It feels like a secret society party, as if their objective were to let as few people as possible to learn of the event.

Yeah, the good ol’ days before penicillin … times have changed, a lot. Now you have all sorts of options and (legal) venues. Enjoy your freedom, and let others pee in peace.

Maybe not just for yuks … while charging and paying for sex are both legal (only in the sense that they are not explicitly illegal) in Spain, the Spanish legal system has stiff penalties for pimping, brothel ownership, or profiting from another person’s sex work in any way. That sign, while humorous to both clients and providers, might be the owner’s legal out. I will be at Thermas — finally! — on Wednesday. Although I’ll be in la ciudad condal until Saturday morning, Wednesday is my only free day. Only one question for the regulars and semiregulars: are one’s belongings safe in the locker? No reports over these many pages of anything stolen from the lockers, but since I will be bringing my wallet stuffed with 50€ bills, I was hoping to hear some reassurance.

I think his Mileroticos ad is even more appealing: Frank Vergón PS: his Mileroticos ad does show 3 red flags — 1) identity not verified, 2) asks for a deposit, 3) recently changed phone number. In his favor, Mileroticos reports that this provider has had his ad up for at least a year and that Mileroticos has not received a single negative report.

Gustavo Santaolalla won a very deserved Academy Award for his original score. Yes, the music is amazing. For me personally, I have to be in the mood to listen to it, beautiful as it is, because I associate it with the sadness of the movie.

As I said in my previous post, in 2017 the manufacturer recommended against pregnant women taking Tylenol. I don’t know if the manufacturer has since changed their recommendation.

I need to change my forum name to Born_Yesterday so that it’s easier for Wayne to remember.

Is this 90s porn star Steve Kelso?

I don’t know if they’ve changed their recommendation recently, but as of 2017 the manufacturer recommended that pregnant women not take Tylenol.

Perhaps they’ve recently changed their recommendation, but as of 2017 even the manufacturer recommended against pregnant women taking Tylenol …

Why don’t I ever run into joggers like this? https://x.com/edgiriland/status/1967303586699935885?s=61

So Far Away (Muy lejos) is now available on US Netflix. I give a more complete review here, but a quick summary: a Barcelona man struggling with his repressed homosexuality intentionally strands himself in the Netherlands with no ID, no family or friends, no money, or knowledge of Dutch. It seems too far-fetched, except that it was the real-life story of the director & writer of the film. Not a perfect movie by any means, but worth seeing (imho) for two incredibly moving scenes and for the lead actor’s beautifully honest performance. It’s at least worth a look.

Forget the shark, Jaws is worth watching just for sexy AF Roy Scheider …

I love this German daddy … https://x.com/the_daily_candy/status/1970541647340675544?s=61

Ted Wiens is a Las Vegas chain of auto repair shops. I hope they don’t sue this LV-based escort for trademark infringement.

The Vegas beancounters haven’t quite grasped the difference between “luxury” and “gouging.” Michelin-star cuisine and penthouse suites are luxury. A $26 bottle of water is gouging. Even though a billionaire could easily afford a $26 bottle of water, he would still say “f*ck that!” because it’s a shameless rip-off.

I used to see Dean at the gym, 15-20 years ago. Wow, he was spectacular. Off & on, he had an escorting ad up, but I never took the bait because from his porn work, I was pretty sure the session would suck. While some gay4pay guys can be great, definitely did not get that vibe from Dean. Nonetheless, I loved seeing him on the gym floor. Sometimes it’s better that a crush remain just a fantasy.

Well, the trailer looks fantastic. Then again, how many times does the trailer look amazing but the movie turns out to be shyte? Crossing my fingers that this one lives up to the hype.

Thanks for mentioning this. DWTS is one of my guilty pleasures, and if a hot guy like Robert Irwin is one of the Stars, I’m hooked! He does really well for a first-week dance, especially since it’s the jive (one of the more difficult styles, according to many contestants). His natural athleticism really helps. And yeah, his ass looks fantastic in those tight khakis.

In the gym I go to here in Madrid, no one in the locker room even pulls out their cell to talk, text, or surf — forget taking pictures. Trust me, Spaniards are every bit as addicted as Americans to their devices because a lot of guys whip out their cell the second they step out of the locker room. Also, I go to the movies a lot here, and no one ever utters a word, not even a whisper, whereas I had to stop seeing movies in the theater in the US because I got fed up with constantly begging my fellow moviegoers to be quiet. Spaniards as a whole are simply far more considerate and respectful of others than we Americans are.

I reject the victimhood narrative. What extraordinary lengths did anybody employ to get Kimmel canceled? He said something things that were outright false and deeply distasteful. When his ABC bosses demanded he apologize, Kimmel not only refused, he said he would double down on his next show. Fearing the public backlash, the powers-that-be felt they had no choice but to fire him. “Suppress his freedom of speech” makes Kimmel sound like a noble victim. Bullshit! Kimmel did this all to himself.
