A man was busted trying to sneak 2 pounds of gold past customs, by shoving it in his rectum. He was caught when airport authorities noticed him walking funny. If I had all this shoved up my bum, I'd be walking funny too ...

By the way, have you heard the Sam Querrey story? Professional tennis player Sam Querrey tested positive for Covid19 prior to his first round in tye St. Petersbirg Open. Locked up in his hotel room, he refused entry to Russian health officials the first time they knocked. By the second time they came to his door, Querrey, his wife, and 8-month old son had fled Russia on a private jet to an "undisclosed location" somewhere in Europe. Apparently Querrey feared a forced 14-day quarantine during which time he & his wife would be separated from their young son. Ooh, he is in BIG trouble.

Oops, I forgot about the length of quarantine. Yeah, a 14-day quarantine when you scheduled just a 1-week vacation would, um, suck. Still, come on, a negative test 10 whole days prior to departure? That's all for show because you could have caught the virus umpteen different ways prior to getting to your departure airport.

Then a more effective measure would be to require incoming travelers to take a test upon arrival at the airport. Positive tests get quarantined, but negative tests are given free access. Sure, travelers might get infected while traveling within the country, but at least public health officials are preventing the Covid19-infected from bringing it in. A negative test 10 days prior to arrival? Pffft, that's not worth the paper it's printed on.

I don't understand the required proof of a negative Covid19 test - 3, 7, 10 days prior to arrival. Even if you were tested & got the result back immediately before heading off to the airport, you could easily get infected at your departure airport, in the confined quarters of the plane, and at the arrival airport. 10 days prior means you could have contracted the virus in dozens of different ways. It sounds like the requirement is more so that public officials can boast about taking measures than actually taking effective measures.

I say go for it. Even if Broadway is still shuttered in Nov 2021 (yikes, God forbid), NYC has so much to offer, even in quasi-lockdown. Worst-case scenario, you hook up with a few escorts.

I prefer the truth. You apparently prefer lies.

Did you read The Book of Matt? I did. The reporting is pretty solid. Plenty of dealers don't use the drug they sell. Did the killers' assumption that Shepard had a large meth stash make sense? No, but drug addicts often don't think clearly. Was the attack sickeningly violent and sadistic? Absolutely! Not just violence but ultra-violence is one of the tragic symptoms of meth addiction. Matthew Shepard's death was a tragedy. No human being should ever endure the torture and agony that Shepard did. But the truth matters. The gay left's martyrization of Shepard crumbles when the truth emerges.

I prefer truth. You apparently prefer lies.

I consider each case individually. Many LGBTs still endure bullying & homophobia. On the flip side, many cases of LGBT hate crimes turned out to be hoaxes. Matthew Shepard's death is tragic. The pain he must have suffered is horrifying. But it wasn't a hate crime. Read The Book of Matt, then tell me if you still think he was the victim of a hate crime.

Matthew Shepard's killers were savages, but they did not hate him. They were ultra-violent meth addicts (violence is one of many sad consequences of meth addiction) who were after Shepard because they thought he was holding a large stash of meth (Shepard was a meth dealer). If anyone wants to know the truth about Matthew Shepard's death, please read The Book of Matt: Hidden Truths about the Murder of Matthew Shepard. Mythology and truth are two different things.

If you're not a Rafa or Novak fan, I can see why you're feeling meh about this final. But for us Big 3 aficionados, Rafa-Novak LVI is simply delicious. If Rafa wins, he'll tie Roger's record of 20 Grand Slam singles titles. If Novak wins, he will be the first player ever to beat Rafa in a Roland Garros final (where Rafa has an eye-popping 12-0 record), will complete the double career Grand Slam (at least 2 titles at each of the 4 majors), and will reach 18 Slams (2 short of Roger, just 1 behind Rafa, plus he goes into the 2021 Australian Open as the overwhelming favorite). If the knock on yet another Rafa-Novak final is the playing style, I get it. The matchup doesn't produce the most interesting point constructiom - a lot of endless rallies of Rafa's forehand crosscourt into Novak's 2-hander, ad infinitum. But for drama & tennis history, tomorrow's final is off the charts.

I'm guessing this is Uruguay's national soccer team.

No, unfortunately, never. I saw an interview with him where he said a couple of things were non-starters for him: bareback sex and escorting.

I can see why you assumed I was referring specifically to you - I replied to your post, after all. But I wasn't referring to you specifically, not at all. In many other threads, however, a lot of clients get unbelievably nasty when an escort posts a high rate. And yeah, that bothers me. But not the case with your post, as you point out, you were just providing information. I apologize for my post.

I hate it when clients condemn or berate an escort who lists a high rate. As a big believer in the free market, I tip my hat to this guy if he can command such a fee. There are plenty of prospective clients, albeit difficult to find, who can (easily) afford $6K for a weekend. But as one of ordinary means, my response to six grand for a weekend is ...

I didn't know Ainhoa because of her opera career (I don't follow opera much) but did see her as a judge on "Prodigios," a talent competition for young (10-16yo) opera singers, classical musicians, and ballet dancers. She is so wonderfully helpful to the young singers, with constructive criticism and technical advice, that I've become a big fan. She is currently competing on Masterchef Celebrity. Uh, let's just say she should stick with the singing.

Not as famous as the opera superstars you mentioned, but did you ever run into Spanish soprano Ainhoa Arteta? You didn't say where you met the opera world celebs, but since she lived in NYC for 17 years, I imagine she was pretty well known on this side of the Atlantic.

A lot of native Spanish speakers say "moment" in English when the better translation is "time." Another clue that English is a second language for him is the use of the infinitive ("to feel comfortable") when most native English speakers would probably say "feeling comfortable." That said, I have no idea if his ad is legit or not. I don't see anything in it that convinces me in either direction.

It's hard to believe that he didn't notice his bulge prior to that "oh sh*t" moment, but hey, I ain't complaining.

Even though I'm not into twinks at all, Kurt Wilde flipped my skirt (not that I can ever recall wearing a skirt).
