The one where someone brought a wild bobcat home is hilarious!

All well-done massages are legit massages. The term you're looking for is non-erotic massage. I'm better schooled and trained than the vast majority of non-erotic masseurs, what you call "legit". So, put that in your pipe and smoke it

Having nothing to do with her age (BTW nobody thinks 71 is old anymore) and everything to do with her makeup: she looks like a deranged elf.

Given what an OpEd is, they should not have appended either piece.

I've only listened to the first one, I look forward to listening to all of them and seeing his film when it becomes available online. Enjoy! https://www.ask-any-buddy.com/podcast

He's a terrible person. Also, didn't the link you posted the other day say it was a Farrakhan Op/Ed? That's much much much much much much much much much different from an article. If it was an Op/Ed it is reckless to call it an article "about" him, you shouldn't do that. If it was an article about him and not an Op/Ed I apologize for not reading that link as closely as I should have. --RH

Every article is good, every one, and books are my priority, therefore short flights are the only time I can get through the Economist, so unless consistently I'm flying 3 or 4 times a month, which has not been the case for years, it's just not worth the expense and frustration, they pile up making it impossible to fuck guys on the edge of my desk. Priorities.

The New York Times, while possibly diminished currently, remains the best source for longform journalism combined with breaking news, as well as the best, and this is the most important to me, investigative journalists, math wonks, and global news. Additionally, every link you posted makes a point and also nobody with a brain would deny that that cartoon was just awful. Further, twitter does nothing but get people and companies in trouble; I wish it would disappear and I know it won't, I don't have that power. Yes, the New York times gets facts wrong, and yes that happens to all papers more often these days. Yes, the NYTimes lost some giants, and I miss them terribly. I loved Bari Weiss's articles on Israel, a country I like very much. I was skeptical of her complaints about bullying only because it seemed as if she needed to pick a lane: were people her age and younger becoming too sensitive (generally, not regarding Israel), which she often argued, or too insensitive? It's hard to make a case that both are true. That's not to imply the internal bullying against her didn't happened, Slack is a horrible bitch-fest. Many suspect she left to join forces with Andrew Sullivan in some new venture. I guess we will have to wait and see with that one. Taking your toys and leaving, VERY LOUDLY, does not seem very graceful. If I hated everything about The New York Times I would continue reading it for Jeffrey Gettleman a master writer, reporter, human being, and bureau chief.

Sometimes this is the only way I can come.

A very good friend of mine turned me onto the Chin. I utilized it before, but never focused on it. Now I do; yours, then mine.

Me, NyTimes since 1991

Armpit Armpit ARMPIT!

Loved it.

I've seen every episode of Buffy, Seasons 1-5 (I like to imagine seasons 6 and 7 don't exist) at least 10 times. Enjoy. Also, if strong superwomen get you, please watch Xena. The arc is amazing, and when you think about how young Lucy Lawless was, it's kind of mindblowing.

now THAT is a pink hole.

As Bill Maher said, "wearing a mask on your chin is like wearing a condom on your balls."

A beautiful young New York woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean. But just before she could throw herself from the docks, a handsome young man stopped her "You have so much to live for, said the man. Look, I'm a sailor, and we're off to Europe tomorrow, and I can stow you away on my ship. I'll take care of you, bring you food every day, and keep you happy. With nothing to lose, combined with the fact that she had always wanted to go to Europe, the woman accepted. That night the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat. From then on, every night he would bring her three sandwiches and make love to her until dawn. Three weeks later she was discovered by the captain during a routine inspection. What are you doing here? asked the captain. I have an arrangement with one of the sailors, she replied. He brings food and I get a free trip to Europe. I see," the captain says. Plus, she adds, He's screwing me. He certainly is, replied the captain. This is the Staten Island Ferry.

Tender kissing, or lack thereof, is one of my flaws. It is very very very hard for me to kiss lightly. I make a conscious effort to kiss lightly, and before I know it, my tongue hunts for his tonsils again. It's something I've worked on, unsuccessfully.
