Back when I was a paper delivery boy and we had a "delivery boy meeting" at McDonalds, all pre-teen boys, the guy in charge of the delivery guys gave us each a dollar and said "The commercial says you can eat a full meal at McDonalds, so here you go". I think I managed. This would have been early 70's. These days, I load up on cheap frozen dinners for lunch at the office, if they're over $3 I sneer at them. Unfortunately, I tend to order out for dinner at home a lot more than I should.

Funny, when I saw this title, even before reading, my response would be "Yes, so I can feel like an astronaut" :-D

I found a quote once. "Don't write so you can be understood. Write so you can't be misunderstood". I try to live by that. I remember an article by Larry Niven, a science fiction author, about a group of space enthusiasts getting together to write a proposal about space exploration. Niven, a professional writer, was going nuts trying to get the other enthusiasts to write intelligibly. I remember one of his points in particular - "using acronyms makes things harder to understand, not easier".

I have brought women friends (no quotes, they were definitely real women) to Gold Coast in Detroit because they were interested in seeing it. They had fun, refrained from screeching, a couple dancers sat at our table for a while chatting and all had a good time. I share your dislike of bachelorette parties and the like showing up, that seems to bring out the worst behavior, but they're not all like that.

I watched it last night and loved it as well. Realizing it was not all that crucial to the story, I was curious about what happened to Michael, the grandfather, and to Adam's father (Michaels' son, who we only saw as a child). They made a brief reference to Michael dying young but that was about it, and it certainly seemed that Flora and Adam were the sole surviving members of the family. And Oliver Jackson-Cohen; damn, very easy to watch (not to mention Julian Morris). I was convinced that Oliver Jackson-Cohen was another Oliver, Oliver Stark, who was in "Into the Badlands". Both have amazing chests :-)

I had (still do) a huge crush on the top guy in this picture - Vladimir Gott, he filmed for William Higgins in the early 2000s, I think.

GHB - isn't that roofies? The date-rape drug?

Funny, I made a three-stop shopping trip last week and brought my dog along/inside. Results were unexpected. The cupcake shop welcomed her with open arms & offered her a free dog-cupcake, the smoke shop was indifferent, and at the local library, a woman hustled up immediately and said that unless she was a service dog I had to take her outside.

My last roommate was quite a bit younger than me. Every once in a while I had to remind myself that in his timeline, Star Wars was to him (age-wise) what movies that came out in the middle of WWII were for me. Best Picture in 1941, I couldn't tell you a thing about what that movie's about. Charlie Chaplin won best actor that year. We took my mother to see "De-Lovely" and after she mentioned "Begin the Beguine" had been a favorite song of hers when she was younger. That movie was the first time I'd heard it.

Porn star Marco Rossi made a guest appearance at a new strip club in Detroit (the club didn't last long). I didn't witness this, but heard that some guy tipped Marco during his show, and he said "that better be at least a $5". Management pulled him from the stage.

I remember a story not too long ago about someone who'd given someone else a token to play in a slot, it won big, and the question of who owned the jackpot. The casino said the person who pulled the lever was the winner, regardless of where they got the token. I think it went to court and they upheld the casino's position.

I did that on a trip to San Francisco years ago, my flight was nearly pre-dawn, so I checked out of my hotel, midday, did some sightseeing, then went to the bathhouse in San Jose about 10:00PM and hung out there until it was time (3:00AM or so) to head to the airport.

With Detroit on the US/Canada border, it's not unusual to see Canadian change here. Some stores refuse them, some don't care and accept them as US$0.25. I still remember the excitement in the office when someone discovered the vending machine in the lobby was accepting Canadian quarters. :-)

Cody Cummings and our own Tristan Baldwin.

Sounds like typical Bel Ami dialogue

Anybody know what this is from? Somehow, it's speaking to me. :-) Google image search is just suggesting "Barechested"

Since I started using a DVR I rarely watch things as they are aired, and always fast-forward through the commercials. I will intentionally find a chore or something else to do for 10 minutes (unload the dishwasher?) so I can start late & catch up by the end of the show.

Ditto for me. I try to treat the dancer boys at the club with respect as well as the escorts I meet.

When I was very very new to hiring, and agencies were the thing, the guy at the agency was listing out their guys and mentioned one of them was a trainer at a gym. I always thought it'd be titillating to see the guy at the gym, and know what else he was available for. Youthful fantasies...

I think it's more that the only four-hand options both include Wallace (Wallace & Chase, or Wallace & Caleb). There's no listed option for four-hand with Chase & Caleb. Is that what you meant?

Agreed, plenty of guys both escort and do porn. His ad shows pictures that don't look like they're lifted from porn sites, so no guarantees, but it's probably him.

I second the notion of starting with something innocuous, in case the number's wrong. "I'm poolboy, I saw you'd be in Detroit for a few days, would love to meet up. Do you have any time open?"

One masseur that have seen a few times (and am overdue to see again) went pretty quickly into prostate massage the first time we met.

That's a great definition of the difference between sensual and erotic. If only there was a real standard for that.
