Do you really always need to be a killjoy? You're always so negative. The Debbie Downer of the board..

Oh....I forgot to mention that Stock has installed wireless chargers all around the main bar at about every third barstool. Really convenient. Just set your phone on top of it and it starts charging. No wires required. Very nice addition.

I just wrapped up a three-night stay in Montreal over the weekend. Beautiful weather the entire time. The Village was alive and well. I went to Stock Bar all three nights (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) and as one would expect in the summer, Stock was very busy. I spent most of my time enjoying the company of Tyler, Franco, Zack, Tommy & Tyson. Tyson was probably the biggest guy of the group I hung out with. However, there is another guy Calvin who is actually bigger. Calvin has been on the dancer scene in Montreal for probably 7-8 years. Still looks great(He's not even 30 yet) and seems to be a really friendly guy. There is some newer international talent at Stock as well. A couple of Italians: Cristiano and another whose name I missed. Both overly tattooed. Two newer Latinos also: Karamelo from Brazil and Miguail (That's how the Stock website spells it) from Mexico. They do a duo dance show that is very good and they are both quite well-hung. Overall, a great time was had by all!! Oh....and I got my smoked meat fix at Reuben's Restaurant close to the Sheraton. So good.

Kudos to Julianne for choosing to go public with this information. I really never thought she was anything but straight. Her brother Derek, on the other hand.... https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/julianne-hough-reveals-shes-not-straight/ar-AAFbnTo?ocid=spartanntp

I believe that YVR is the main trans-pacific hub for AC. However, YYZ almost surely has the most number of daily seats going long-haul international out of Canada. Therefore, YYZ has the first Signature Suite lounge in the network which, as you say, makes perfect sense. As the article you linked above states, YUL and YVR are likely to follow. Hard to imagine any other any other city in Canada getting the lounge after that as their number of long-haul flights pales in comparison to the top three hubs in Canada. Anyway, the Signature Suite is an interesting concept and sounds very nice. Not sure I'll ever get to try it as I never fly long-haul on AC. I'm too connected to Oneworld….at least for the time being.

I seriously doubt Atlanta can support three male strip clubs on an on-going basis. We already know that Richard's is on shaky footing. If Johnson's opens there, I predict Richard's will close down. The last two times I was at Richard's early in 2018, it was already a shadow of it's former self. The quality of the dancers had fallen off dramatically. I saw no reason to return since then....and I haven't.

The rumor on Atlanta that I heard (perhaps on here) is that Johnson's will open an Atlanta outpost. If that happens, I bet that will bring on the final demise of Swinging Richards.

Centurion Lounges: totally overcrowded. No longer a pleasant experience. Flagship Lounges: Quite good. Also quite crowded now that they allow lower level elites in. Used to be quite selective/exclusive. Not the case for 2-3 years now. Flagship First Dining: I’ve been eligible to use the service many times but only partook once. I thought it was very mediocre. It was at LAX. The food was served lukewarm and the quality of the service was lousy. Honestly, I would have rather used the buffet in the Flagship lounge. Polaris Lounge: well I gave up on United when Smisek was in charge. Polaris appeared after he was gone....so I have no experience. British Airways galleries lounges: used multiple times at LHR. There are two of them at terminal 5. Totally overcrowded and unpleasant. There is also one in Terminal 5 which is quieter and feels more relaxed. I’ll be trying the Concorde Lounge at LHR on my trip in November. I understand it is nice.

I felt my only secondary inspection upon arriving in Canada was purely random. They looked through my suitcase and asked me a few additional questions and then I was released. It was no big deal in my case. I did not feel harassed and it only delayed my departure from the airport by an additional 10 minutes or so. When they ask me if I know anyone in Montreal I tell them the truth: I know some people and strippers at Stock Bar. That has always satisfied them.

Rosemary learned about that demon seed real fast;).

I agree with Taz. Just be honest. I fly into Montreal from the US roughly every other month. I decided years ago to just be honest when explaining the reason for my trip to the immigration officers. I tell them I am in Montreal to hang out in the gay village and to go to male strip clubs. Only once in 20 years have I been sent for secondary screening. I think they appreciate the honesty.

Ok...Let’s pretend Grindr is a dating app:rolleyes:. Why are you spending time on a “dating app” when you’re supposed to be...err...working?

I cannot say how many strippers I have known over the years that have ended up deceased. Mostly from suicide, overdose, and car accidents (particularly drug and alcohol-fueled accidents). The porn/escort/stripper world is unforgiving and provides many slippery slopes for careening into the abyss. It takes a strong-willed person to stay clear of the traps. The combination of youth and money can be very intoxicating...and deadly.

Move on.

Matt you're going to get all kinds of different responses. You can never please everyone. Therefore I agree with the prior respondents that the best thing to do is be the real you and do what you truly like. Be your authentic self.

Holy hell. How did I miss this insanely funny thread last year. All I gotta say is: Crack is wack!!

I don't. But I can tell you that none of the photos found in this thread are of the JC I saw at Campus last month.

Mocha never learns. I told him years ago he's in the wrong business and needs to do something else. He continues to bumble along and whine/complain. Mocha is the consummate victim. Always was and always will be. Sad but true. Next.

Just wrapping up a nice four-day visit to Montreal. I arrived on Saturday morning and am at the airport now to head home. I went to Stock on Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday nights....and to Campus only on Monday since Stock is closed on Mondays. Being Memorial Day weekend, Stock was packed on Saturday. Lots of tourists from the US visiting. Anyway, a great selection of dancers available for fun at Stock: Body builder Franco. Sexy new body builder dancer Zack. Huge-cocked Tyler. Smaller Asian body builder Kid has returned as has daytime construction worker Dave. Honduran cutie Enrique is back as well. Clearly he has been spending lots of time at the gym during his time away from Stock. Lot's of fun all three nights. Good to see Stock particularly well-attended by customers on Saturday and to somewhat lesser of an extent on Sunday. Stock has re-opened the back-bar by the shower-show area. It was closed for about 4 months during the slower winter period. Campus was surprisingly busy with customers on Monday night. It was not packed but it had a steady stream of customers coming and going during my 3-hour stay. Only four dancers working on Monday night which is probably to be expected for a Monday. Three of the dancers were totally forgettable...at least for me. Other customers were taking them back for lap-dances but I wasn't the least bit interested in them. Thankfully, the forth dancer was a gorgeous, masculine muscle stud. He seemed totally out of place at Campus compared to the other dancers. He is JC and I have never seen him before. A real body-builder who competed in a competition on Saturday (as did several other Stock current or former dancers). JC says he has two daytime jobs so he dances inconsistently due to his work schedule. Anyway, we did some lap dances. It was well worth it. I hope others get a chance to see him sometime. I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually moves to Stock. I think he would be a better fit there. For me, Campus has a somewhat seedy vibe which JC doesn't really fit into with his stellar looks. What body. Those calves! Those glutes! That chest! Those arms! and a handsome face to match. He is a local but speaks excellent English. Even though it was rather cool for part of the weekend in Montreal, the village is coming alive for the summer period. Nice to see. Anyway, I only ate at one Village restaurant during my stay. I went to Mozza Pates et Passions on Tuesday night. I've been several times before and it is my favorite in the village. It has Italian food with a bit of a French flair. Mostly pastas as main courses. All meals come with a small Caesar salad to start followed by an appetizer. You can choose between the minestrone soup, the appetizer of the day, or the escargot of the day. I always go for the escargot….which is delicious. The place is always crowded with locals even when other village restaurants have few patrons. A little bit pricey but worth the extra cost. It's BYOB so be sure to bring your own wine if you want to imbide. The entire city seems to be under construction starting with the road in from the airport. During my Saturday taxi from the airport to downtown, part of the freeway is actually completely closed so there had to be a lengthy detour to get into town. Also, all over downtown there is road and building construction.

I’m currently in Montreal. Just for kicks, I walked by the Sky Complexe today. I saw no individual sign/poster indicating dancers/danseurs. However, the main establishment neon sign which says COMPLEXE SKY at the top also has in smaller letters underneath the words “cabaret” and “dancers” amongst other things. I’m pretty sure the sign is really old. Maybe they had dancers at some point years ago. I seem to remember that briefly being the case many years ago. Anyway, the explanation previously given about a party earlier in the month that may have included dancers makes sense too. I’ll give a full report on the MTL scene when I leave tomorrow.

He has danced at the South Florida clubs for years. Twist and Boardwalk. I've known him for 7-8 years...mostly via Twist. Always seemed nice to me. He's Italian but speaks excellent Spanish. I'm not sure about his English. Anyway, I never did a "session" with him so I don't know what he's like outside the club. Last time I saw him around 18 months ago, he was dancing at Twist.

I assume you meant to post this in the thread regarding the Boardwalk?

I actually have no problem with these terms as long as the individual's behavior equates to the description. What makes the terms overused and empty is when someone claims to be as such yet their demeanor/behavior suggests otherwise. It's the false advertising that pisses me off.

As usual, azdr710 is spot-on with his post. Do the obit. Absolutely essential for anyone 60+ years of age. We did it for my dad (89) and my brother(61) and don't regret it. Yes it costs a lot but so be it.

Let’s be honest, Remington’s has been a mere shadow of its former self for at least 10 years. Whilst I did see real hotties there 15 or more years, it’s been very inconsistent since then. I’ve never understood why the Toronto scene can’t come close to matching the Montreal strip club scene. Go figure.
