It's Hugh Jackman's birthday today!

I'll make eye contact but let the escort take the lead. If he acknowledges me in some way I'll greet him. I met an escort I'd hired at a mutual friend's party, he was with his boyfriend, and from his reaction, I just acted like this was the first time we'd met. I ran into a Gold Coast dancer in the locker room at the gym, he said hi but was a bit flustered; "My worlds are colliding" is what he said, I think (but with a smile). I saw him later at the gym with his daughter.

My first hire when I was 27, a guy probably a few years younger than me. I'm 57 now, my hires range from late teens to early 40's.

I've been but have yet to take a dancer back there. I'm not sure if it's as private as the old area.

There was a two-parter Enterprise episode that dealt with the differences in Klingons. Brent Spiner (Data) played a doctor (I think the ancestor of Noonian Soong, Data's creator) who'd been involved in creating the supermen involved in World War 3 / the Eugenics wars. He'd saved a few of the genetically enhanced supermen, and the Klingons worked with him (stole his research?) to blend the super-DNA into Klingons. The Original Series Klingons were the result. So they were pre-Kirk (since Enterprise took place maybe 130 years before the Original Series?). I think I remember them saying that those Klingons were often the ones to deal with humans. This is all off the top of my head, probably some inaccuracies in SOME of this.

I just watched "Getting Go" last night, and came out with the impression he was a pocket gay. Nah, it's just that his co-star is 6'4". Matthew's 5'11 1/2", according to his IMDB.com biography.

I don't think he ever escorted, but getting lunch, I'd swear the guy behind the counter (looked like they were training him) was Ulrich from Chaosmen. I went to that place for lunch more often after that, but never saw him again.

Tyler and Ace escort and are often contributors on this forum, they often post their travelling plans in "Escort Travels". https://rent.men/TandA

I try. I leave it to others to decide if I'm succeeding. ;)And by pausing to do that, someone else has probably jumped in & started talking. This is why I really appreciate my book club. We have a good group of people who actually listen, and let other speak without interrupting as soon as a thought enters their head. The older I get, the more I appreciate this.

I try to as well, but there are certain words/speech patterns/whatever that are like fingernails on a chalkboard. A guy I work with, good guy all around, but hooked on "utilize" instead of "use". Another co-worker who'd consistently interrupt with "no no, I understand"...and he usually didn't understand. A dancer at the local club I chat with a lot, who always starts his sentences with "I was just gonna say...".

I'm not a moderator, but it makes sense to me to bring up an existing thread on the topic, no matter how old, rather than multiple threads about the same thing.

Well, I did see the bridesmaid's letter on Dear Abby's site. That's not to say someone's not pulling one over on Dear Abby. That was a thing with Ann Landers, a lot of Yale students had fun writing outrageous made-up letters to see if she'd publish them.

The editing plays a BIG part in the show. Not sure if I'm remembering the names right, but at the reunion show for S3/Africa, Kim said something about how the editing made Lex look crazy and unlikeable; that everyone on the show actually really liked him.

if I can beat @friendofsheila to the Miss Manners reference this time :-) her first book included a letter from a bride about the groom's brother, in the wedding party, who at the time had a wild purple Mohawk hairdo. Miss Manners told her that she could dictate clothing, but that was about it; and that the Mohawk would give them something to laugh about in the wedding pictures in the future. My dad emailed my sister (in her late 40's then) wanting to have a discussion about her (incomprehensible-to-him) support for Obama. She declined. Past experience, and the email itself, made her certain that he was not at all interested in hearing her side. And she's politically pretty experienced, she worked on one of Gore's campaigns.

I had no idea Mark Gatiss was gay.

and another I found while googling Monte...

Monte Crown, a Colt model - I first saw him in the early 90's.

Call me old, but...I tend to go in at 9:00, since that's when the dancers "officially" start, but it's often not until 10:00 that they actually do get up on stage. I try not to be there past midnight. Getting harder to recover in the mornings...

Perfect examples @Oliver, thank you :-)

They haven't said it explicitly, but little Ryan sets off my gaydar big time. Agree about Alan being a bit scary, he came off crazy in the first tribal council. There's the persistent rumor that one of the guys first voted off in Australia (season 2), Kel, was caught masturbating early on in the game. Silas from season 3 (Africa) remains my favorite There also appear to be a lot of VPL's going on. Ryan seems to be packing, and I'd swear they were pixellating out Devin when he was just in his underwear.

Finally, a good example of classification, stealing pics from Oliver's post above... this is a bulge. Very nicely filled out, but no clear indication of, um, whether he's dressing on the right or the left... This is a VPL, a very obvious one... and this is a "hey, that's just his dick" :-) another bulge... another VPL...

This is the spa in NYC you're talking about, right? http://www.lfmensspa.com/

Yeah, I'm sure I've had sex with Republicans before, but politics rarely comes up in the bedroom/bathhouse/wherever for me. Grayson mentions it several times in his ad, I get the feeling he's the type who'll bring it up in every conversation. Kind of like my sister's in-laws.

I can't find the long-standing "Survivor" thread, so starting a new one. The good-looking guy factor is pretty high on this one. I've never been much of one for redheads but between Patrick on this season (and Mad Sweeney on "American Gods"), I'm starting to come around. Anyone else watching?

Just to be practical - probably not, since Josh hasn't posted since July.
