Monty Python's "Vocational Guidance Counselor" sketch. "But I want to be a lion tamer!"

These were older, not my earliest memories, but there was a local gas station where the attendant usually wore just cutoffs. Beautifully tanned muscular torso. When I was in my mid-twenties, they built a house on an empty lot next to me. One of the workers often just wore a pair of running shorts. Beautiful dark curly hair, muscles; I'd often fantasize that he'd stepped on a nail and had to come over for first aid.

That was Gary Conway, I think. Smoking hot body with a frightening mangled Frankenstein face.

I resisted Chrome for the longest time because I didn't like my bookmarks across the top, I liked the Firefox "down the side". I tried Chrome when I got my new laptop, I like it, and find I don't really have an issue with the top-bar bookmarks.

I knew where my Dad's porn stash was, mostly Playboy and Penthouse and a couple of cartoon books called (I think) "From Sex to Sexty". A friend and I were looking through them, I must have been 10 or 11, and I remember saying to him "I'm looking for pictures of naked men". "The Year in Sex" and "The Year in Movies" features were the few places in Playboy to see naked men. Penthouse would occasionally have couples pictorials. At one point he had one or two "Oui" magazines with couples layouts that were a bit more revealing of the guys.

I was 7, and had a crush on a kid who was going through first communion with me.

I met with him about 10 years ago, I think. Check your inbox.

The guys who did Mystery Science Theater 3000 are still in business, doing live shows and producing videos with their movie voiceover. When they spoofed "Twilight", they played the Benny Hill theme when Edward ran up the mountain with Bella on his back.

At the risk of derailing the thread, I dislike the trend of video-only reporting. I like to read.

To quote Sara Jane Smith - "There are some things that are worth having your heart broken for".

Not the one I saw. "Greek Massage, part 2" by Next Door Studios. Certainly possible he's done more than one. Just watched again to be sure. :-)

I had to go find that clip, when I saw the preview & Owen Michaels (getting the massage) asked "does your massage always include the balls?"

He's a recent favorite of mine, I love his scenes with Duncan Black and Chris Harder (surprise). I've only seen him top so far, has he bottomed on screen yet? His persona would seem to fit a bottom better.

And let's add Chris Harder http://burlesqueseattle.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/harder_byhugoharley.jpeg

John Pruitt, a favorite of mine from when I first discovered all the pictures on the internet. and Trent Locke. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BMF8gvxCcAAgPNy.jpg

Love it love it! Is that Simon Dexter in the military hat? I've never seen him with that much chest hair (swoon)

True, you need a 'both' or a 'can't decide' option. 90's Jake was a favorite of mine since Falcon's "Code of Conduct" two-parter. Millennial Jake's scene with Jamie at Sean Cody is still a favorite. If those two DIDN'T have chemistry, they deserve Oscars.

Jason Branch did a handful of BDSM videos, I don't know who they were for. They seemed on the low-budget end but they are hot videos.

That one worked, thanks!

ad's already gone - who was it?

I agree, I thought the second one looked like Stu too. Props to big-n-tall for actually identifying the scene http://seancody.com/?frame=movie_index&model=898

And from everything I've read it was a short-lived phenomenon (indeed related to the typewriters of the time) that unfortunately hit while I learned to type in 10th or 11th grade. It was only taught for a few years, and I didn't hear that it was bad practice until only a few years ago. My sister who has worked in journalism & print in some capacity for all her life pointed it out to me. It is a very difficult habit to break.

I do. I learned the 'two spaces after a period' rule on a Selectric.

To continue to digress - most dictionaries revise themselves frequently, adding words or changing definitions to match what has become common usage, even if it was once considered incorrect. They're strict about it but eventually they do relent. I haven't checked lately to see if they've added 'irregardless' as acceptable use, because I'm too apprehensive. And that brings to mind last year's New Years Resolution, to stop using two spaces after periods or colons. It's a difficult habit to break.

I work with a lot of younger people. I know there are plenty of references I make that need to be explained (or just ignored :-)); my co-worker has no idea who "Captain Kangaroo" is. But off the top of my head I can't think of any phrases in that category. Now I'm going to be watching myself all day. Similarly, I work with a lot of people in our Buenos Aires office. They all speak excellent English, so much that I have to catch myself about using expressions - I used 'red herring' yesterday and then wondered "do I sound crazy to them?" Fortunately, they're pretty good about checking urbandictionary.com or something similar. :-) For the record, I still say 'taping' a show.
