Good point!!

To quote a former POTUS, my answer "depends on what the definition of sex is". If it's considered to be sexual intercourse, I would say 25-40 in my lifetime. I have always been much more into oral sex than penetrative sex. If oral sex is included, then my number would be over 1000. So many trips to Brazil saunas...including living in Brazil for 2 years pushed the number up. Also, during undergrad and grad school, I was a regular at the university bathrooms that had gloryholes. So much good action there with young attractive guys. I did six straight years of giving/getting BJ's in those bathrooms. It's amazing how much oral sex was going on in university tea-rooms in the 70's/80's. I wonder if that still goes on today? Sad fact: In the last 2 years, I have had only one sexual encounter. I gave one blowjob to a guy in my hotel room (not a hire). It has been my choice. I have purposely had minimal contact with people during COVID.

So mom and I have both had three vaccine shots so far...all Pfizer. Mom is 94 and I am 62. Neither of us have had Covid as far as we know. We are currently planning for her to get the 4th shot this month (it's been about 6 months since she had the first booster). My instinct tells me to go with another Pfizer shot. Is there any medically-driven reason to go with something different for the fourth shot...say Moderna? We have both tolerated the Pfizer jabs quite well.

Does Twist actually have dancers again in the Bungalow Bar out back? I understood that they stopped having them more than a year ago during the pandemic....it might even be two years now since they've had them. Unless they've started having them again fairly recently, I'm pretty sure they are history. I spent many an enjoyable night there pre-Covid.

More coming out about slap night and the consequences. It seems the academy did ask WS to leave the show after the slap but he refused. They are now looking at disciplinary action. I hope he is banned from the academy and not allowed to attend future awards shows. https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/30/entertainment/academy-will-smith/index.html

LAPD says Rock has declined filing charges. https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/28/entertainment/chris-rock-will-smith-charges-intl-scli/index.html

CR did a joke about JPS's hair. So what. It was a joke. Joan Rivers used to do Jokes about Jews in Nazi Germany. Kathy Griffin did jokes about Whitney Houston smoking meth. It's what comedians do. People are way too sensitive today. Will Smith's reaction was completely out of line...both the slap and then the profanity afterward. Very low class.

Very plausible. I had something similar happen in 1986 or 1987 when I was on an Eastern Airlines flight from Cali to Miami. The plane made an unscheduled stop in Panama. We all had to disembark the aircraft and claim our bags one by one on the tarmac. One person was apprehended by the police/military. We were told they also found 14 kilos of cocaine behind the wall panels of one of the bathrooms on the plane. Somehow Eastern had been tipped off that there were drugs on the flight. My understanding was that airport workers in Cali and Miami were involved in the drug smuggling operation.

I don't pay attention to number of cases anymore. I look at the percent of tests that are positive (you want to be under 3%) and number of hospitalizations for a given area. If both of these are trending low, I'm more relaxed.

Congrats Kevin!

There is already a thread on this topic in The Lounge.

Interesting. I'll look forward to your report later in the month. I stayed in the Marriott next to Piero's for two nights back in September and her name was still on the marquee under the Piero's sign. I assumed she was still performing but I don't know for certain. BTW, I tried to get into Piero's for dinner one night but they were not accepting anyone without a reservation. I'll have to plan ahead the next time. Enjoy!!

I dunno. I only found out she does a show in Piero's showroom last year. I remember seeing her many years ago on The Tonight Show with Carson. She was being touted as the next big thing in Hollywood...but that never really happened. I hadn't heard about her in decades and then discovered she does a show at Piero's. I was intrigued.

Have you seen Pia Zadora's show there?

Who knows what was going on when I went there. As you say, the quality may have declined since pre-Covid times. Or maybe I just hit them on an off-day. I should probably give them another chance.

The Wicked Spoon gets great reviews from most people but my own experience wasn't very good. I went last fall and was disappointed. I found the food to be very mediocre considering the price. I accept I am an outlier on the Wicked Spoon as most people seem to rave about it.

I saw no obvious construction going on then again I wasn't looking for it. I took Uber all three nights, but yes, parking is a pain there.

I agree that most of their products today aren't as good. The only thing that seems to have stood the test of time are the jars of fudge for heating to make the iconic hot fudge sundae. To me, that fudge still seems as good as when I was a kid in the 60's.

Totally agree with you. If I never eat another Entenmann's Bakery product for the rest of my life, I'm perfectly fine with that. They were never in the same category as the Awrey's and Sander's baked goods that we enjoyed in Michigan many decades back. Interesting tidbit: Entenmann's is currently owned by Bimbo Bakeries. I get a chuckle out of that name. Bimbo is a well known bread bakery in Mexico.

Our local gas station in rural Michigan was charging $4.25/gallon for regular yesterday. I didn't fill up as we're headed down to Detroit today for mom's doctor appointment. Will gas-up at Costco for $3.79/gallon. I'm in a similar situation to Charlie. Costco is too far away to justify driving there/back just to fill-up. I do however head down that way 2-3 times per month for other things (doctor appointments, haircut, etc.) and always take advantage of being in the area to get gas.

I was in Fort Lauderdale last week and went to Johnson's on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It was fairly busy all three nights but never packed. Good selection of dancers. Probably something for everyone. Lots of Latinos(Cuban, Venezuelan, Argentinian). Also various Europeans and North Americans....including four Montreal dancers. I had a good time all three nights. It was actually my first time out at a strip club for two years. I felt somewhat uncomfortable being around lots of people. I wore a mask for a period of time but no-one else in the club was masking. No-one in South Florida wears a mask anymore. I didn't do any private dances. I don't care for the fact that the curtains don't close completely...which limits privacy. I wouldn't care for Friday/Saturday at Johnson's as I'm not a fan of crowded clubs.

Thanks for the heads up. I have seen all the new dancers on the on-line feed. A few comments: Hayden. Somewhat older. Used to dance for the ladies at 281 (now closed). I find him sexy but he has a very unfortunate full arm/shoulder tattoo...almost completely black. I've never seen him show his full cock. Shawn. Also older. Supposedly, used to dance at Stock years ago. Large and beautiful cock. Maxime. I find him handsome. I've only seen him dance on Wednesdays. Very unique talented dance style. Watch the clip! Tight muscular body. Beautiful. Never drops his pants so I don't know if he is "blessed" down there.

You bad...bad...boy😁.

Like Charlie, I never remember much of a street scene in London. From 1986 to 2001, I worked for a British company and I traveled to London probably 70-80 times during that period. I would go to Kings Cross multiple times on each trip to catch trains to the north. I never saw anything going on around Kings Cross. Perhaps one had to venture into some of the side streets around the station. Admittedly, I was never lingering around the station. I was there to leave on or come in on a train and that was it.

He's back!! https://www.si.com/olympics/2021/07/23/pita-taufatofua-shirtless-tonga-olympics-opening-ceremony-entrance-tokyo
