True - I don't remember any bodies like that in my high school in the 70's.

Pretty sure that's my obsession, Michael Yerger, survivor contestant

I just found out the Galaxy Quest documentary, "Never Give Up Never Surrender" is showing on Amazon Prime. Also a documentary about Flash Gordon, mostly focusing on Sam J Jones who played Flash.

Reminds me of a Miss Manners letter from a reader in a French boarding house with a shared bathroom who'd accidentally walked in on a woman using the toilet. She yelled at him and French and slammed the door shut; he opened it again to "apologize profusely". ?

This was an unexpected bonus when I saw "Flash Gordon" in the theater in my late teens... and then later when I found he'd posed for Playgirl...

Kink.com has done it already. https://www.kink.com/shoot/35925

Funny, I saw the title and I immediately thought of Todd McKee as well. I had a picture of him on my fridge for a while...

He's been discussed here before but I'll be damned if I can find the discussions. Best I know he's strictly therapeutic.

I haven't used anything but the Channel Guide grid on my cable system for years.

Sex And The City did that for the first few episodes.

I wonder how places like this, where the staff rather than the food are the attraction, are holding up during lockdown. I stopped into a new "Twin Peaks" restaurant here in town a few years ago, not realizing it was more "Hooters" than "David Lynch" themed.

I watched the first two episodes last night, so far I'm on the fence. What do you guys think? It's a bit of fluff but they're hinting at some darker plot in the works.

American Flyers. His brother was played by David Marshall Grant, a now openly gay actor.

From today's Detroit Free Press. Washtenaw County is southwest of Detroit, it includes Ann Arbor, home of the University of Michigan Washtenaw County's new prosecutor says his office will no longer pursue charges against adults who engage in consensual sex work, a move that national advocates praised as a win for marginalized people. The policy directive that Prosecutor Eli Savit issued Thursday applies to both people who sell sex and those who solicit it. Savit's policy cites research showing that criminalization forces sex workers to operate in a black market and in isolated areas, exposing them to violence and exploitation. The threat of prosecution makes sex workers and survivors of trafficking less likely to report crimes, he said. “As with other prohibitionist policies, the criminalization of sex work actually increases the risk of sex work-adjacent harm,” Savit said in an announcement on the prosecutor's office website. “Forcing sex workers to operate in the shadows increases their susceptibility to physical assault, sexual assault and trafficking.” The prosecutor's office says it will continue to file charges related to human trafficking, violence and sexual assault that arise from sex work, and the solicitation of sex from minors. The office will also still seek charges against pimps. The policy directive prohibits prostitution and solicitation charges against people who were forced to engage in sex work. Savit's announcement Thursday is the latest in a number of reforms he's implemented since taking office earlier this month. He recently announced his staff will no longer seek cash bail, and they won't prosecute for the possession or small-scale distribution of magic mushrooms and other natural psychedelics. Savit's policy says the criminalization of sex work in America is “in tension with constitutionally protected liberties.” Laws banning consensual sex between adults generally violate the United States Constitution. The policy goes on to state: “It is only when sex is exchanged for money that such activity may be banned. But even once money enters the equation, sex is not consistently criminalized. Pornography, for example, is generally legal in the United States.” A movement to decriminalize prostitution in America has been ongoing for decades, said Melissa Broudo, legal director of Decriminalize Sex Work, a national advocacy nonprofit. Organizations such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union have called for the decriminalization of consensual sex work. Over the last few years, the emergence of more progressive prosecutors has resulted in policy changes in San Francisco and Philadelphia. Numerous candidates for the Manhattan District Attorney have come out in support of the decriminalization of sex work, Broudo said. “It does feel like the tide is turning, that elected officials are being responsive to facts and data on this issue,” she said. Broudo and others said they expect Washtenaw County's policy to have an impact on marginalized individuals who do sex work. Nearly 40% of adults and about 60% of youth arrested for prostitution in America in 2015 were Black, according to Amnesty International. The organization also points to reports showing that Black transgender individuals who sell sex are particularly vulnerable to harassment and violence from police. “This is a really wonderful thing that other jurisdictions should duplicate because across the country, Black folks ... and also trans and cisgender women all bear the disproportionate burden of criminalization,” said RJ Thompson, a sex worker who is managing director of the Sex Workers Project of the Urban Justice Center, a national legal services and advocacy group. In Michigan, prostitution and solicitation can be misdemeanor or felony offenses. The punishments range from a maximum of 93 days in jail and/or a fine of not more than $500 for a misdemeanor to up to two years in prison and/or a fine of not more than $2,000 for a felony. The Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office will dismiss pending cases against defendants who would not have been charged under the new policy. Under the policy, prosecutors also won't contest applications for expungement when the underlying charge arose from the consensual exchange of sex for money. Krystle DuPree, political director of Black Lives Matter Ann Arbor, was part of a work group that offered feedback on the policy. She said the change sends a message that “sex work is work” and shouldn't be treated as a crime. “I think decriminalization of sex work is the first step toward combating that stigma,” she said.

Given the train wreck that the second movie was, I'm not excited about a revival. I loved the show in its time but that time may have passed. I did laugh about a broadcast network (TNT, maybe?) carrying the show for a while but censoring some of the dialog, and thinking they may as well make Samantha totally mute.

Might be Leo Lombar?

My sister's family just cancelled a planned February trip to Florida, too many COVID cases down there.

When I took the Body Electric bondage workshop, they ended by asking everyone to share something they'd found out about themselves during the session. I was at a loss (as I usually am with those types of questions). I'd just gone to have a good time. One attendee said "I learned I could top".

So is the "this is the only smart post" comment. There are plenty of people in my mind who rarely post anything of merit, Big Dale is not one of them.

Is this Michael Yerger? Face looks like him, and that looks like the "On my honor" tattoo on his left pec, but I don't see that leg tattoo in any of the (many) pictures I have saved of him.

At work one year they gave us Amex gift cards as a bonus. Turned out they weren't usable everywhere a 'normal' Amex card was accepted; very few places actually. I mentioned that to the boss the next year and got a snippy reaction (I think the next year they gave out golf umbrellas with the company logo)

A friend told me he was in California and met an old high school friend for dinner; the friend was getting all sorts of looks in the restaurant. Turns out his friend was Blake Harper.

Hahaha. I don't remember this thread, but have at least one example, not so much dialog. "Pizza Boy He Delivers", from the 80's sometimes; one guy grabs the pizza to deliver & puts it sideways under his arm to carry it.

My thoughts exactly. There are a ton of threads in the gallery on a subject that doesn't interest me. I don't complain, I just don't click on them.

Skype has a "sarcasm" emoji (an animated slow clap), if that's an option it'd be useful.
