  1. will probably finally go see a matinee of it sooner than later....by myself, big pail of popcorn (extra butter please), and a couple smuggled-in sodas...... the opening "overture" graphic for the original movie has always been very clever to me....I remember the first time seeing it and wondering what all those vertical lines were supposed to mean......
  2. from history.com..... (other sources suggest the tradition had roots in earlier gory pagan rituals and was cleaned up for Christianity) On February 14, around the year 270 A.D., Valentine, a holy priest in Rome in the days of Emperor Claudius II, is said to have been executed. Under the rule of Claudius the Cruel, Rome was involved in many unpopular and bloody campaigns. The emperor had to maintain a strong army, but was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. Claudius believed that Roman men were unwilling to join the army because of their strong attachment to their wives and families. To get rid of the problem, Claudius banned all marriages and engagements in Rome. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Valentine was arrested and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. The sentence was carried out on February 14, on or about the year 270. READ MORE: Who Was the Real St. Valentine? Legend also has it that while in jail, St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer’s daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it “From Your Valentine.” For his great service, Valentine was named a saint after his death. In truth, the exact origins and identity of St. Valentine are unclear. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, “At least three different Saint Valentines, all of them martyrs, are mentioned in the early martyrologies under the date of 14 February.” One was a priest in Rome, the second one was a bishop of Interamna (now Terni, Italy) and the third St. Valentine was a martyr in the Roman province of Africa. Legends vary on how the martyr’s name became connected with romance. The date of his death may have become mingled with the Feast of Lupercalia, a pagan festival of love. On these occasions, the names of young women were placed in a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed. In 496 A.D., Pope Gelasius decided to put an end to the Feast of Lupercalia, and he declared that February 14 be celebrated as St. Valentine’s Day. Gradually, February 14 became a date for exchanging love messages, poems and simple gifts such as flowers. READ MORE: 6 Surprising Facts About St. Valentine

  12. pictures are from a 2015 photo shoot of a Brazilian model with initials GM......IGs come up with similarly named Brazilians, but not the same person.....also, a AAA Brazilian baseball player with same name in the US is not the same...... that's all I got!

  17. and certainly better than a Board President??!!
  18. there's periodic comment over at gayguides (formerly boytoy and, before that, something else less embarrassing) that foreigners ruin it for the local clients because the foreigners are willing to pay more....conversely, it can be argued that foreigners should be able to seriously haggle because the rate locals pay is very low......just a thought...... but with a US dollar now able to buy 5.25 reals (it was even embarrassingly better a few months ago), I don't think foreign clients should worry too much about whether 150/200/250 reals is a ripoff/deal/problem/average ......you really want to quibble with a hard-working dude over $10??.....talk about ugly American.......hell, the next-to-the-last time I was in RJ (2016), there was a local kid roaming Copa Beach near us trying to steal stuff....he was chased away and was back in minutes.......was probably hungry and very desperate
  19. "just data points to consider"......
  20. that was easy.....my computer still had the IG of RLR, the Barcelona engineer, "pre-linked" from the last time his pictures were stolen!......"a magical and unforgettable moment"!......reported to RM HQ!
  21. oh......well.....yeah....... do-gooder politicians back in 2003 did something.....must've been an election year or something....... sooooo.....how's that working out for us now??!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Do_Not_Call_Registry
  22. Datalounge? Really?! The truth is out there!
  23. just some observations: his "I Am Into"s seem very limited and certainly appear to have been deliberately selected.....and the extent of his text indicates his time is 300 (presumably 300/hr).....I may be wrong, but all this might mean he'll present options with upgrades and rates beyond his base rate.......maybe??? the three RM reviewers appear to be legit...... great stats and pictures, if accurate
  24. @RadioRob and all...... I just want to re-confirm that this new site name will be the domain name (a .com or.org will be behind this new name) and that will be how we log in??.....the name "m4m-forum dot org" will be going away??? also, I want to re-confirm that this new site name will be the one place that has forums, reviews, galleries, everything??....no more separate "daddysreviews"?..... thanks for the answers....appreciate all your time with this......
  25. The same ol' haiku-like ad text! Yup, probably another fraud. Thanks, @dutchal, for all your work here.
