I had to google what "root" meant to Australians (but I'd kind of already guessed ) A co-worker who'd just relocated from England was apartment-hunting and refused to even look at a local complex named "Knob in the Woods".

Perusing the ads in back of the independent newspapers back in the mid-80's. They were more agencies than individual guys, I remember talking to one of the agencies and taking notes on the guys that I was interested, and being terrified at one point that my roommate had seen the notes. I finally bit the bullet and hired one night while the roommate was out of town.

I helped an escort who became a friend get a job at my company, working in a technical call center. It didn't work out well, he chafed at the corporate culture and the rules around the job, he only lasted a few months.

Having just been through our company's annual mandatory harassment training, that phrasing set off a LOT of flags for me. Maybe just suggest a beer after work where the conversation might flow a bit freer?

The massage-ee is Kittenbear, from Toronto, I think https://rentmasseur.com/KittenBear

We took a team picture in the pool once. One guy had me behind him on deck, surreptitiously pulling back on his waist so he looked skinnier.

Aw, you're sweet. But you've never seen me... :-P We don't all look great in our speedos.

Ha. You may've hosted me. I attended a meet in Montreal in the late 90's/early 2000's and one of the local swimmers hosted me. I ended up meeting a cute guy from the Montreal team who I spent most of that weekend with instead.

Book him again. The editor of "Amazing Science Fiction" stories, John Campbell, was known to be very helpful to new writers, if he rejected stories he'd give them advice on how they might improve it so it'd be accepted. If he accepted a story, he just sent a check. :-)

Not MY travel, but a friend's travel story. When I was on the gay swim team we hosted a meet, swimmers from all over attended. I'd been flirting with a cute guy from Toronto; at the post meet dinner, someone started the "clinking glasses with silverware" they do at weddings, and we kissed each other. I lived about 40 miles away from the meet venue, and he was heading home the next morning, so it seemed like nothing more was happening. He'd driven to Michigan with another guy on his team, J; at the dinner J was lamenting that he'd met someone he wanted to spend the night with but couldn't make it out to his place. I convinced him to show me the slip of paper with his new friend's name/number, and as luck would have it he lived near me, about a mile away. My new friend followed me in their car back to my end of town, we dropped J off at his new friend's house, my new friend came back to my house, we had a very fun night, and he got up early, picked up J, and they headed back to Toronto. My teammates bugged me mercilessly to reveal who J's new friend was, but I keep secrets. :-)

If there were a verbose button in real life / work, I'd probably wear it out.

This is one of my favorites, thanks!

That made me laugh.

I didn't live through the 50's and grew up in the 60's in a totally-white environment. I'd like to think that's exaggerated but I am sure that's wishful thinking on my part. I took a friend to see "Milk" and she asked me if the depiction of how gays were treated in the 70's was true.

I just watched the first episode. Wow. The depiction of what African-Americans lived through in the 50's is jarring, then it jumps into full-on horror movie. And the bod on Jonathan Majors, the lead. Damn.

A friend broke a wine glass at my house. I have a bunch of mismatched wine glasses, I reassured him it was no big deal, but a week later I got a box of six wine glasses he'd ordered for me.

Rumor had it Jeff Stryker had to stand on a box for this scene with the much-taller Jeff Hammond.

LOVE this scene from "Big Guns" - taking off from the movie "Thief of Hearts", which came out about the same time. MIKE: "Don't stretch my asshole out too much, my girlfriend will wonder" JOHN: "Fuck your girlfriend, I did!"

Thanks for putting a name to him. Beautiful man. Does anyone know if he's done any porn other than solos?

It was as awful as I expected. The exccessive amount of narration & voice-over by Harley Quinn was particularly irritating. It's a movie, SHOW the story, don't tell it. That worked much better in the first "Deadpool", but again, Marvel's figured out the superhero movie genre much better than DC has. Sad, since I was a DC reader as a kid.

wow, give that the award for the longest filename ever... "los-angeles-california-usa-5th-february-1995-exclusive-actor-jack-noseworthy-poses-at-a-photo-shoot-on-february-5-1995-in-los-angeles-california-usa-photo-by-barry-kingalamy-stock-photo-2A58TXW.jpg" Redundant, too ?

I'm going to go against the consensus here, and stick with what I read in Miss Manners years ago. In response to a question from someone who was wondering about pointing out a friend's recent weight gain, she responded (I paraphrase her), "What did you expect? Your friend's going to say "Oh my gosh, I didn't realize! I'm going right back to the fridge to throw out that Sara Lee Cheesecake that I was going to eat this afternoon!" There's so little chance that he's not aware of his teeth's condition that I would never have mentioned it.

Xaviera Hollander wrote in "The Happy Hooker" that you a man's nose was a good indicator of the size of his cock. She would know...

Bumping up a very old thread since I saw "Event Horizon" a couple nights ago and started googling "Jack Noseworthy naked" ? I was surprised to find out he's gay, he's been out for a long time, and has been partnered with choreographer Sergio Trujillo since 1990 (well before he was in MTV's "Dead at 21" in 1994). They married in 2011 and have a son born in 2018.

Charlotte Rampling played a similar character on Dexter a couple years before London Spy; kind of creepy scary woman who raised a child in an, ahem, unusual way. She played the doctor who helped raise Dexter and develop Harry's Code.
