If you’re the only homosexual in Moosejaw, Idaho and you bring in a guy for an overnight from big city Boise, and there’s folks around who don’t approve of you and like to watch every coming and going and have the sheriff’s personal cellphone phone number, you might think twice. Otherwise I wouldn’t worry in major markets. That said - Always be considerate of your host’s discretion requests, no matter which side of the bargain you’re on.

American producers would totally dismiss brilliant actors like Nichola Walker, Suranne Jones, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, all very attractive women, cast in very sexual characters in Britain, but not beautiful (fuckable) enough for American men. Helen speaks the truth. Keri Russell today is still really pretty, but even she is now… gasp… ordinary. The ultimate sin for American actresses.

He was Tom of Finland before Tom of Finland. Beautiful male faces and forms captured to perfection in a way cameras could not.

Nope I spent 45 years working around actors. When the interpersonal frisson occurs, one or both is playing a role. 95% of the time it’s a disaster once the show is over. I learned my lesson early on about asymmetry in attraction during a business-centric situation. I only allow myself to fall madly in bed. Or table.

I don’t. I pay providers for their time.

Might be a vacant house on the market, and they’re actually the listing agents.

We all buy more pre-trimmed veg now - for convenience- so it takes lingering to accumulate enough for a full pot of stock. The same trimmings in smaller amounts can be put into the bottom of the pan for oven-roasting chicken, beef or pork, and strained out, leaving added flavor.

A Broadway star’s post-show curtain speech, thanking you, the attentive, warm, wonderful audience, is still part of the performance. It can be 100% genuine, but the box office won’t refund your ticket price on account the actors were having fun. (Actors talk amongst their lot when someone in the audience is trouble… keep your cred in tact. 🤩) Have a great time, collect the compliments for your memoirs.

If you grew up watching The Ed Sullivan Show, you were probably aware of the breadth of talent he presented. In every form - singing, dancing, instrumentals - groups and solos- along with comics, circus and novelty acts - all of it showcasing the best. This excellent doc looks at his show through a more specific lens, amplifying his unique (and for some sponsors at the time, too much) support of black entertainers on network TV. I remember that as a kid, a lot of my awareness of black performers had to have been via Ed’s weekly show. Harry Belafonte, Smoky Robinson, Barry Gordy, Dionne Warwick among the interviewees. Recommend it highly. Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan (2025) - IMDb WWW.IMDB.COM 1h 30m | TV-14

This season is 1884-5. Although some references in the script name (or allude to) persons, places and events of historical record, it is not a documentary. Like Downton, It’s a soap opera with horses, pretty frocks, and people scared of The Gay.

I never hire under age 35. Once you get in that range, 1-2 yr discrepancy from fact isn’t a thing at all. As for accurate measurements, I say let’s eliminate length. Girth and displacement by volume are better predictors. We’re all liquid once inside, aren’t we? “oh, him? - he’s got barely a half pint”

Kitchen scales are most reliable. Any shape of pasta can be weighed. For two servings my “eyeball” measurement is half of any standard pkg and once opened, the other half is enclosed in a ziplock.

I think of top and bottom as verbs. One can potentially do both or neither in the same sexual encounter, which can be restrictive as a hiring possibility when one or the other partner gets labeled by the nouns. I find side pretty much a useless descriptor either way. Pictures do most of the talking, and once you have some new clients, I think you’ll be fine. 😘

I’m a fan of it as a bed for slow-braised meats - short ribs, ragout, lamb shanks - soft, sticky bites of meat in a flavorful wine sauce. I even buy the pre-cooked refrigerated tubes to and slice and pan-fry. If the flavor of corn is unappealing, add butter, garlic and parm. After 3 glasses of Chianti, you’ll adore it.

It can be a double edged sword. If I had to post a video of the one who absolutely lived up, I’d need to get out my VHS player.

Are we aware of exactly why Larry chose to take Jack to the unrespectable whorehouse of ill fame in the first place? I don’t remember any scenes in earlier eps that hinted at his knowledge of such establishments. (But then I’m preoccupied by the weirdness of the wardrobe and hair. They need to start doing Baranski’s fittings with her seated, and for some reason Bertha’s core style exists in a fantasy world that bounces as much as decade in a day…)

Cherish the memories of his beauty and kindness and contribution to your neighborhood thank him in person and wish him well. But maybe let him face the daunting challenge of leaving a life-long environment, and reinventing oneself at 70 in a totally new place …without adding an unnecessary layer of confusion. I’m sure he’s appreciative of your friendship. (And God bless Rock Pamplin) 😘

Tom Lehrer has died at age 97. He was an American musical humorist and mathematical genius who, by day, was employed in private, military, state and education sectors before and after his musical success) His creative side emerged combining (mostly) original music with clever lyrics in service of lampooning current events and culture in the US in the late 50’s- early 1960’s. His live performances, him singing while seated at the piano, played at various sized venues all over the world, and his LP’s became cult favorites. A singular contribution to satire, and a key informant for my sense of humor, I can relate 0% to his legit mathematical/scientific brain, but totally with his use of music and words to elicit laughs. Thanks, Professor

My husband and I both saw the ending 15sec ahead of when it occurred… Poor Oscar. Now he’ll never be able to afford to get his bangs trimmed.

I’m among the minority of guys my (boomer) age who never found overtly cruising public spaces to be a turn-on or productive. This excludes, of course, Nordstrom South Coast Plaza when Ralph Lauren Polo dress shirts were marked down in 1983.

My activity level dropped when I retired - so I remain conscious about moving more, improving my ratio of water to sodium, and radical elevation (on back, butt against wall, legs straight up for 30m) Recent knee surgery has aggravated the swelling, but it should recede just in time for the other knee replacement coming up. 😀

I dress down for comfort on the table. and, to quote one poor restaurant review, “…however, the portion of potatoes was so grand, I had to lift them up to discover the average serving of meat they accompanied on the plate” 😎

I got a degree from OSU prior to Strauss’s arrival, but I was well aware of the ominous deference to athletic dominance at the school. It was everything. Apparently, (the closeted and wily) Dr. Strauss had worked his way into a very powerful position, in which his grotesque misbehavior was consciously overlooked by administrators and senior coaching staff. Why ignore this many stories from the students? Was his Sports Medicine knowledge really unique and something that was irreplaceable? The threat of public shame and losing scholarships manipulated the victims into silence for too long, for fear of losing their entire future, while the assaulter got promoted by the school, and retired with Emeritus status. So why does this sort of arrogant denial and defense of persistent toxic behavior seem to replay over and over again in high levels of power? In entertainment, in corporate life, in politics? The documentary does not answer this question, but its timeliness - everything at this particular moment in time - makes it worth watching, despite the emotional discomfort. May Jim Jordan’s family watch it, and turn their backs on him at his hour of need.

I need reassurance that he knows what he’s doing.
