As Ben would have it, any slurs or racism is okay as long as your dick is hard. But even fetishists have values.

Just finished The Absolution by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir. It's pretty good.

I couldn't agree more.

In July it is rare to need a sweater at night. For me, the t-shirt itself is enough. But I keep a long sleeve shirt handy.

Oliver mentioned, or someone mention meeting Oliver there, the LA dinners that were held for forum posters. I enjoyed a few of those myself.

InnDulge has a good reputation. During the quarantine, the Hacienda Inn, which is very nice also, kept all of its employees on the payroll. I'd support a place like that. The sex venues have day passes, so you can stay at a nice place at night and still go to them. Not that I ever have.

I'm sorry. I know that I have heard of Cam4, but I don't remember what it is. Help? Thanks.

I've met a few people from this and the boytoy.com website. Probably one hundred men over the years. It all started with the Gaiety in New York. Stella's soon became part of the evening. And, of course, the 20 Club which rose after the first two closed. And then there was Palm Springs, where someone started a weekend type thing. I went to that a few times early on.

Is there current information on Chen? Link? Thanks.

What an unfortunate name for a sex worker site.

Hmm...I wonder if we all remember those early encounters. I think I do, but I wouldn't have been as adventurous as Charlie at such a young age. Congratulations, Charlie.

I used to work with rape victims, both male and female. It is an exceptionally traumatic event which leaves a lifetime of scars. Using the term in any "fun" context is insensitive if not worse.

I was never a big fan of porn star Mark Dalton until I saw him dance years ago at a White Party in Palm Springs. His ass was beautiful and he danced butt forward for a long time so one could take it all in.

Good memory, g56whiz! There was a time when a group of us would gather for dinner, then take in the early show at the Gaiety and end up at Stella's. One could be home in bed by midnight! Or, home in bed with a hot new friend. Cooper was the main organizer of these events as I recall. It wasn't quite the same with Club 20, but one made do!

Maybe you have a secret admirer?

I just finished Apartment, by Teddy Wayne. Two young men in Columbia's Master of Fine Arts program meet in a class. Billy, the handsome one, works at a bar and sleeps in the bar's basement office. The second guy, an unnamed narrator, benefits from a free rent-controlled apartment and the largesse of his daddy. Soon he is sharing both with cute Billy. What could go wrong? Very nicely written.

With all of the year end kudos being passed around here, here's to jackhammer for creating what must be the greatest thread in the history of Hooville.

Never once did I take a course in how to use a computer. I cannot write a line of programming. I just use my computer to find information, share email, draft documents, store pictures, and socialize both here and on Facebook. I have no music files to speak of. And, I have no idea what Instagram is. Could someone help me on that latter department? What is it, what is it for, and how do you use it? What difference does it make in your life, assuming it makes one? Thanks.

Jackhammer must be continually surprised at what a big hit this thread has been. Good work, jackhammer! No one else has made the board laugh as much as you have...now don't take that the wrong way!

Okay, I will check that out. Thanks.

Chrome at the time.

Why is it always crashing, and what is it for?

Scott, you iron your pillow cases?

I should never have started this thread! Gas prices immediately went up 8 cents a gallon at my local pump.

glutes could have found that old thread, but my search did not. It was a million pages long but does provide some historical perspective. Anyway, it's a Christmas gift from the Middle east. My local Costco is offering regular at $3.27.9, and I am pleased. Never thought I would say that! It's down a good 40 cents rather quickly.
