Non-gonococcal urethritis. Before it was NGU, it was NSU -"non-specific urethritis." Now, they've decided it's chlamydia. Whatever it is, I've had it more times than I can count.

Guilty. Oh, I think you got hosed by the spellchecker - asymptotic??

I got what used to be called NGU in my dick from receiving oral. I guess they have decided that most cases of NGU were actually chlamydia. I remember they treated it with floxin - a first-generation fluoroquinolone. One course didn't do it - I had to have a second course - all from peeing down somebody's throat in a sex club.

Adam Russo has always been a possibility in the back of my mind. I guess I need to move him to "top of mind."

That's a good point. I have showed up for appointments with even high-profile, well-reviewed escorts. The profile pics show a ripped stud with single-digit bodyfat and the reality is a doughboy with 15 - 20% bodyfat. Its very irritating when that happens. I'm tempted to call things off, but never have.

He has always interested me. I seem to remember that, at one time, he and Jake Walker were boyfriends. I may take a chance on him.

In a thread about San Francisco escorts a few weeks ago, GBoi mentioned that Brett was very flaky and recommended having a backup plan. :

That is interesting. At 5'10", I confess to being a tall men's groupie. But I also love guys shorter than me with fireplug builds.

That's too bad. Standing next to a man whose taller than me is one best feelings there is.

I should have made myself clearer, sorry. It wouldn't surprise me if we saw more crimes like this . . . .somebody who snaps and says to himself, "We've been trying to work through a racist system to fight racism for decades, and what has it gotten us? We need to start kicking some ass."

You're the one who brought up the Panthers. The Dallas shooting was a criminal act for sure, and certainly not part of an organized protest. But it was a criminal act borne of an unprecedented level of frustration with the status quo.

Nor am I. I am simply noting the fact of it having happened.

E Even the Panthers weren't the kind of immediate, violent, eye-for-eye retribution we saw in Dallas the other day.

I don't think they've ever fought back in quite such a targeted way.

I've watched every episode, I love it. I even recommend it to people. Me, recommending a TV show, doesn't happen much.

We've been trying to legislate racism out of existence in the US for over a century, yet we still have cops murdering blacks and blacks getting so fed up that they are beginning to fight back.

I know that. But it's a change in perspective that any individual is capable of making. You change one mind and you've made some progress.

Race only exists as a social construct. When you start looking at skin tone as a phenotype, all the problems disappear.

I detect a touch of irony in his post...and sincerity at the same time.

As you admitted, you don't "know" any of those things, you believe them or you suppose them to be true. What we know is that he himself proclaimed his allegiance to Islamic State. He almost said, in so many words, "I am a terrorist." What makes Islamic State a terrorist organization is not that it is associated with Islam. It is because it uses terrorism to achieve its ends.

I have always referred to under-21's as "embryos."

No, he hated fags. That, plus the fact that his father was also a radical Islamist.

How was that self-hatred? The perp was a terrorist.

I Here in San Francisco, Chinatown is a jumping place on Christmas. In college, I worked for a kosher caterer. It turns out, there are degrees of Kosher. One time, we catered a wedding at an orthodox synagogue. There were going to be several Hassidic rabbis there from New York. Even thought it was a kosher caterer using a kosher facility in an orthodox synagogue, the food wasn't kosher enough for the rabbis. They needed special food.

Dinner at a Chinese restaurant and a movie is supposed to be a popular way for Jewish families to spend Christmas Day.
