I used to have a T-shirt that read: "Carpal tunnel syndrome ruined my sex life" And I believe it would have!

Speaking of Ricky Martin (he plays Versace's lover at the time of the murder), when he was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show promoting the miniseries, he said, "I show my tush for the first time on television." I was planning to watch already, even more intrigued now.

They've stopped the regular Sunday nights at Skin. The ad posted above by RandyC is the next event. Apparently they are going back to just holiday weekend special events. The club has changed, too, from Skin to Players Club.

Nope. I gave up my VCR, my Walkman, my turntable, the ipod; was the last of my family & friends to get a computer & a cell phone. BUT I will not give up books. A good book is a drug to me, an addiction, a door to another world. I've been passionate about books since I was first able to hold one on my own. Hardbacks are still my preference. One of my favorite childhood memories was my mom taking me to the public library on our way to my brothers' baseball games so I could sit in the stands and read till the games were over. Sharing the joy of books with children is a simple pleasure, pausing before turning the page, building anticipation... I love seeing kids with books in their hands. Lying on the beach reading a hardback can be awkward, uncomfortable at times, but I won't give it up till I physically have to. Bookstores & libraries....I hope at least a few outlast me.

Avalon, the various timelines in the stories may have confused you. The triplets were all fine right up until birth, when Kyle didn't survive so he couldn't have been "absorbed". The parents had no idea there was any problem up until that time. As for Randall's name, he was originally given the name Kyle but Rebecca had trouble bonding with him. She went to see his birth father, William, and discussed this with him. He suggested they give the baby his own name rather than the name intended for the third triplet. Rebecca asked William the name of his favorite poet, and Randall was the poet's last name. That's where his name came from. Not several years later, probably just a few days.

Gadfly22, I think purplekow was commenting on the group here in general, not himself. His further statements made me think he's more like Karen Mackenzie from this Knots Landing scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL78-XN-Oxo This speech has stuck with me all these years. I feel that way myself today more than ever.

I spent six summers, from college to post grad working at an Easter Seals camp for the physically disabled. None of the boys or young men with cerebral palsy used catheters. If they were in wheelchairs we used hand held urinals. Only the guys with spina bifida used catheters, if they had total paralysis from the lower back down, and they didn’t wear the catheters, they/we inserted them a few times a day & drained the bladder. Sorry for the slight tangent from the original question but the subject took me back almost 40 years. Haven’t thought about those times in a while.

Already planning to steal Karen's line from tonight's promo. Something like, "Sorry I'm late, but I got here as soon as I wanted."

That would be much appreciated. I'm heading down next weekend & will definitely be checking it out. I like to know as much about a club beforehand as possible. Thanks to everyone who has previously posted here about their experiences at Johnsons.

I know them as Alejandro & Patrick, seasonal dancers at Boardwalk. They told me they were cousins from Argentina, so I’m not sure where the Italian came from. They are fluent in Spanish, but maybe in Italian also. Both have a solo studio scene on the Stock Bar site. Patrick was Patrick, but Alejandro used a different name which I don’t recall. (I do however recall the end of his scene as he said, “I feeneesh, I feeneesh, I feeneesh!” One more thing, in one photo in the massage ad you see a brand name on the underwear. That's Alejandro's own line & if you google, you'll find more photos, even a youtube video of an underwear fashion show.

Lindsay Wagner. From the first time I saw her in The Paper Chase to her role as Jaime Sommers to her various movies of the week. I still get excited when she shows up on the screen in some repeat or something new.

I was there every Sunday in June, and will probably go for a bit tonight. The guys come on stage for 2 songs: 1st in clothes or just underwear and then completely nude for the second. Jake also posted about it here https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/sunday-nights-in-tampa.125522/

Last I heard, Blake was performing drag (can't remember the name). Adrian was pursuing his career as a professional photographer in California.

LOL, I like that. I'm going to start using that as my excuse.

Reminds me of a birthday card I recently gave a friend: Dance like no one is watching. Inside: Or dance like everyone is watching and waving dollar bills!

Is there a set rate for the guys' time? I didn't see it on the site, but could have overlooked it. Thanks.

This has probably been posted here before, but that Thelma cartoon reminded me of this commercial:

An escort mentioned he had dinner with his wife before he came to my hotel room, then said, “She’s waiting downstairs for me.”

He's in SC & then heading to Tampa. Does anyone have info on him? http://men4rentnow.com/gay/escort/male/massage/florence/TristanGaul/315187

See photo #2 in his ad

Guys in the Tampa area Labor Day weekend can check him out up close & in the flesh. Ryan Rose & Hunter Vance will be performing at the Men of Liquid full nude male revue at Skin Tampa on Sun., Sept. 6.
