Merboy

For Golden Girls fans, there were at least two references to her in the episodes. One was made by a wedding assistant. Blanche said, "Youre ready to just fly right out of here arent you? and he said, "Well excuse me for living Anita Bryant." A friend asked who this Anita was, and I told them the story of what that meant.

For the younger people who may not know her, she was the antigay spokeswoman of the late 70s, also spokeswoman of Florida Orange Juice and 2nd runner up at Miss America. Mainly remembered for being very much against "the homosexuals" as she would have called it. Does anyone here remember her from actually being alive at that time and have any thoughts they'd like to share?

Seeing them do that famous chorus line with the kicking never gets old! So talented!

Sadly I've never had the privilege of seeing one.... I wanted to see Picnic with Sebastian Stan as the shirtless guy, The Boys in the Band with Matt Bomer (was it?) but never did. I've seen 10 musicals, no plays.

I guess he's gone now again? 🙁

This I believe is the most recent picture of him:

I hope he's doing well, he was a very nice guy. I wonder if the ad is valid. Russ_NYC - Male Escort, Gay massage - New York City | Rent.Men RENT.MEN Russ_NYC Gay Escort in New York City, New York, available for Gay Escorting,Modeling,Erotic Massage. |...

A young Jesse Metcalfe!

I loved Timothee's outfit. The most memorable worn by a man in recent years for sure.

I wish they'd show more real peckers in films. I wish it wasn't so taboo. And yes this guy is smokin' hot, playing a fireman.

I'm surprised Bernardo didn't get a nomination, or Riff... George Chakiris actually won the Oscar for Bernardo but this one (who won a Tony, i believe, for Billy Elliot) was not buzzed about. The old Riff from 1961 was Russ Tamblyn, father i think to Amber?

This is one of the bigger shows of this season but if this doesn't do well, it'll be another very weak season. of course the past 2 years was COVID, but Broadway is desperately in need of some turbo-charged new musical blockbusters... it's been a lot of revivals, and movie adaptations. Where's the new Rodgers and Hammersteins? The new Leonard Bernsteins? The new Jule Stynes? There's got to be talent out there, but Broadway seems to have gotten so corporate and everything now is take this movie, throw together a lousy score, and bingo you've got a musical. Don't they know musicals are ALL about their scores? There hasn't been a hummable showtune in ages.

Yes I recommend the book by David Von Drehle...Triangle. and I heard the PBS documentary was very good, i must see it. It was really a big turning point in the fight for immigrant rights, worker's rights, women's rights, and labor unions... and I believe Frances Perkins, future Secretary of Labor, was so horrified by what happened that this was also a big focus for her in the 20 years before she joined FDR's Cabinet. It was a major news story for 1911, and a very horrible tragedy that stunned all of New York City. Many of the girls were very young and of Italian or Jewish descent.

I was raised in Monroe County, PA, then went to high school in Bangor, PA (the Slate Belt; Northampton County), then went to college at ESU (East Stroudsburg University), didn't really like it (wanted to be in the Greenwich Village), then moved to the Lehigh Valley which I did really like. I'm in Boston now but want to go home so bad, I miss it.

wow Wayne, is that where Lake Wallenpaupauck is? And Shohola? I know Pike - its above Monroe. I miss it, I'm in Boston now but not by choice. I want to go back home

Thank you so much for sharing that. You are a fellow Pennsylvanian, my brother 🙂 I am from the Poconos (Northeastern PA).

yes, he oozes strength, bravery, courage, and i know this is totally inappropriate- but his balls must be enormous (he's also got balls compared to most politicians out there)

I think every single bodybuilder in Dubai and London needs to come to Boston this summer.... because it will take me that long to save all the money to have three of them at once 🙂

He's a porn star, and boy he can really take cock... wow. Power bottom is right. I'm scandalized from watching his videos... and so inspired! He is my new idol.
