The 1956 Republican Convention. I was a child but I can remember watching, on our teeny-tiny b/w screen. Cars w/out seat belts.

Definition of impeccable 1 : free from fault or blame 2 : not capable of sinning 3 : incapable of wrongdoing -------------------------------------------------- Will you be changing your sign-in name? Perhaps to "The_Peccable_G?"

Absolutely. Every father of a teenager entering puberty should be required to memorize Prof. Samuel Perlman's advice to his son. From Wikipedia: Perlman's consoling speech given to his son in the film was described by Huffington Post writer Nell Minow as being "one of the most moving scenes ever filmed."

It's my understanding that Armie Hammer did more than have fantasies. Apparently he put his fantasies in the form or requests to various women - one of whom he told he'd "like to break my rib and barbecue and eat it." Per The Toronto Sun: The news comes weeks after one ex-lover, Paige Lorenze, told The Kyle and Jackie O Show in Australia that Hammer allegedly wanted to remove one of her ribs and eat it. “He asked me on multiple occasions to remove my ribs,” she said. “He wanted to find a doctor in L.A. to, like, remove the ribs that I don’t need. And he wanted to, like, he has a smoker at his house in L.A. and he wanted to smoke it and eat it (sic)… He would always say, ‘I wonder what it tastes like, I bet it tastes good’.” Another ex, Courtney Vucekovich, told Daily Mail.com in an exclusive interview that the Call Me By Your Name star was into “master-slave fetishes” and allegedly told her he wanted to break and eat her ribs. His former GF is also alleging that Hammer was "abusive and manipulative." I agree with you that one's personal fantasies are nobody's business and the absurdity of the requests suggests to me that he likely was joking (bad joking). I still think that Armie was miscast in CMBYN as he looked much older than the supposed 25, and lacked chemistry with his co-star. Other than that, I have no idea whether the allegations are true or not. Apparently some Hollywood big shots have been spooked by the rumors since he was dropped from two movies as well as by his long time Talent Agency. I would doubt that the CMBYN producers would risk inserting him into a movie about forbidden love esp when he's being accused of wanting to barbecue and eat his lovers. Unless, of course, the sequel has a Hannibal Lector subplot.

He said that in an interview in 2012. Then he does CMBYN. Go figure.

I totally agree - Armie Hammer appeared to be much older than 25 in CMBYN and was totally miscast (Armie was 31 when the movie was shot). More importantly I did not sense any chemistry between him and the beautiful Timothée Chalamet. Armie's character arrives one day, plays volleyball shirtless, dances wildly with the girls, and suddenly he's lying seductively in the meadow with the teenage son of his mentor. A more accomplished (and nuanced) actor like Nicholas Hoult (one of my faves since A Single Man) could have created a bit more sexual tension and have avoided some of the "pedo-feel" that some have suggested with Armie. It was a good movie and the final scene, with Timothée staring tearfully into the fireplace while the credits rolled (I'm guessing a lot of us have had similar experiences?) was superb. Wondering if Armie's cannibalism fantasies may affect his participation in CMBYN Part Deux.

Indiana is one of the most redneck states; I don't mean Conservative, I mean redneck. I remember riding up I-65 when I was a child (in the late 1950s) and seeing billboards along the Interstate for the KKK. However, Indy is a a modern, progressive city with lots of young liberal professionals. I used to visit Indy a couple of times a month to see the strippers at the late, great, Unicorn Club until it became crowded with females - (nothing against females but it's a different vibe). I continue to travel to Indy periodically as I connect with guys on Grindr and the regular rental sites. They tend to be more economically feasible and are no less hot than guys anywhere. Maybe the roster is more limited than Chicago or Nashville (the I-65 corridor) but you can afford a lot more of them. As far as a vacation destination, they have a great children's museum, sports venues, and the downtown area is great after dark. But for a single gay person, there are a lot of other cities with more to do. If you're traveling to Indy, make sure you stop in Columbus, just south of Indy, to say hi to Mike Pence and Mother. They'd probably enjoy the company- just don't mention the gay thing.

You have to book him quickly b/c he doesn't stay long in one place. After one night in Indy, he's now in Cincy and perhaps headed East. Get ready Columbus and/or Pittsburgh.

He came through Kentucky a couple of days ago - I saw him on A4A where he also advertises (as "ZakTaylor"). He offered a very low rate, given the hotness of his photos - which makes me wonder what exactly he's willing to do. I did not hire b/c he stated he was only here for one night and I'm still feelng a bit fatigued/achy from the vaccine shot. He moved on to Chicago and now he's in Indy. He has a different phone number on the A4A site. The phone number on A4A is a Des Moines area code.

I once had lunch with a News Director at a local network affiliate who told me that their local TV news anchor, despite appearing affable & laid-back onscreen, was a real a-hole douche bag as soon as the camera was turned off. He said that these local TV "celebrities" get such public recognition and adulation that they develop a huge sense of entitlement and start to think that everyone is there to serve their needs. If this is true for a medium-sized media market, I can only imagine the size of the EGO's of the Prima Donnas that lurk the halls of the major networks in NYC and LA.

My favorite anchor - now moving over to my favorite network (from ABC to NBC)

Many years ago while on vacation in Fort LiquorDale, I was briskly walking south on Seabreeze Avenue towards Las Olas Blvd. on my way to the Liquor Store near the corner Las Olas & AIA (it's still there). I was distracted by a commotion in the little park on the corner and wasn't watching where I was going. As a result, I almost ran into a couple of teenage boys, one of whom jokingly yelled at me "Slow down, POPS." That was the first time I realized that I was no longer young, at least not to teens. Funny how such minor incidents linger in the mind as milestones in one's life.

I wasn't gay until I saw Peter Berlin. Also, Chad Douglass, Matt Gunther, and Tim Kramer.

“I have to tell you, a restaurant is a very tricky investment — over half of them go out of business in the first six months. If I were your accountant, I’d have to strongly advise you against it.” “You’re not my accountant.” “I realize I’m not your accountant. [Pause.] I’m just saying … if I were your accountant … “ -- "The Duke" (Charles Grodin) in Midnight Run I would think that a bar is a "very tricky investment" also.

Lots of folks live poor so they can die rich. Makes no sense. You'll never see a hearse pulling a U-Haul.

I loved the themes from Laverne and Shirley & Mary Tyler More Show. For most intriguing and compelling opening sequence/Dramatis personae , gotta be Breaking Bad.

He should have offered anal, too.

"Darrell" was the local tough kid who took on all challengers and usually knocked out his opponent in about one minute. He loved to pick fights. If you heard that Darrell was looking for you, a kid would be tempted to enter the Witness Protection Program. Don't think people can change? Darrell went on the become a successful designer of Greeting Cards.

12 years old? I've had my mattress so long that there's an outline of my body that resembles the Shroud of Turin.

Interesting video about "The Kilted Coaches"learning ballet. A brief bit of butt at 7:08. I'm totally into the professional dancer in green shorts.

Getting my 1st vaccine shot on Monday. Fort Liquordale won't be far behind.

But in your picture you've got a full head of hair. Concerning the OP, it sounds to me like maybe you've got a low-grade depression. People often over-eat when they are depressed and lack motivation. Depressed folks 1)feel like there's very little good about their lives; 2)feel like the future is pretty hopeless; 3)the problem is ME, not my circumstances. Along with @Monarchy79 (and others) excellent advice, I would encourage you to see a therapist to help you identify your feelings, process them, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, set some goals (and SPECIFIC STEPS to achieve them). Therapy is not meant to be "rent-a-friend" - it's about CHANGE - what do you need to change to make your life more enjoyable (it could be a change of thinking about yourself, change in your daily routines, change in who you hang out with). Set SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-limited). From your posts, I am sure you have the intelligence to make changes, I suspect you just need a professional to help you get going. Bon chance.

I understand Unicorn's exuberance about receiving the vaccine (I get my first injection in a week and already feel some exhilaration). However, I also read in the NY Times that researchers still think it is possible for a vaccinated person to be a spreader.
