Oh to be captured in the vice of those thighs.

Do you suppose I could interrupt him for just a bit?

Well if you ever considered being gang-banged . . .

What? Can’t he find a jock strap big enough?

Haven’t seen him mingling with the other truckers at our local Golden Corral.

Sorry. Chopsticks doesn’t count.

If you got it: flaunt it!!

Any sandwich (or ice cream) at any Culvers.

Very sad indeed. RIP Marcus. Thanks for the memories.

Ok. Pack him up and send him to me.

I was there in February. That looks like the street my hotel was on. Where’s my mango sticky rice? [sigh]

And they are hard wired (hopefully).

My kind a twink.

The ever sexy Jessy

Be still my libido!!!

Jerusalem?

I last watched a bit of Philadelphia in a cafe in the Babylon Resort in Bangkok. It was right after a great (wholly legit) massage.

I’m looking for a helluva lot more than a smile!

To answer the OP’s question yes there is a trucker look but what you see in this thread is pure fantasy. I live in Laredo TX which is the end of the line for most truck loads. Beyond Laredo goods have to be transferred in to Mexican semis. If you want to see the real truckers look, drop into the Laredo Golden Corral. Lots of truckers there. Most have 50 inch waists and use both belt and suspenders to keep their jeans up around their sagging bellies. It ain’t pretty. So enjoy the fantasy but don’t expect it to be easily fulfilled.

Nice but you’re not a real Texan without a big belt buckle much less the boots.

Thanks @jtwalker.

What? No Wagner?

Can you imagine what he’ll be like in 10 years and 50 pounds.

Yea and I’m still trying to figure out what to do with @whipped guy.

As an amateur choralist fall often meant prepping for yet another Messiah. Most were large scale Sir Thomas Beecham type performances devoid of attention to 18th century performance practices. Eventually I gave up and “just said no”. Bach’s Weihnachts Oratorium is a wonderful work. Recently I’ve been surprised by two Messiahs I’ve discovered. The first is Les Arts Florrisant’s 1994 recording under William Christe. This group is justifyingly famous for its performances and recording of Baroque opera. Except for a very rare diction lapse common to the French trying to speak English the choral work is amazingly precise and good. But the soloist steal the show. The ornamentation of da capo repeats is epic: bordering on too much. I loved it. The second is a more recent YouTube video by Voces8. Voces8 is an a cappella group of 8 (of course) that focuses on blend. They derive out of the OxBridge choral tradition except they use women sopranos sans vibrato. Their video of Holst’s Lux Aeterna is breathtakingly beautiful. For Messiah they expanded to maybe 20 but without loss of blend. The orchestra is also pared down. I don’t know the young conductor but I want to. His tempi are swift without being rushed and the movement between pieces natural rather rushed or taking forever. My only (very minor) reservation is the soloists. They all come from within the chor and are stylistically fine with thoughtful ornamentation but they are young. Some just don’t have the vocal heft to match the lyrics. The mountains just didn’t quake enough for me. What’s your favorite Messiah and why? ADDENDUM Voces8’s Messiah is accompanied by the Academy of Ancient Music all under the direction of Barbaby Smith.
