Antonio Ballatore wasn't all that appealing to me on Design Star, but I thought he cleaned up nicely for his short-lived HGTV show.

That's a great idea though. Someday I want to get the Mrs. Fields recipe tattooed on my ass.

...and I struggle with the idea of versatility. I like to think that my tops have never bottomed and never will. Who are they? I want names.

While I'm not much of a fan I can understand why Bob Dylan is admired as a poet. I respect the opinions of many learned and cultured people who believe that Dylan has been at times a singular poetic artist and genius. I truly love Joni Mitchell's music and lyrics. She has been at times an amazing guitarist, composer, arranger, and bandleader in addition to writing exceptional, innovative songs with bright, sharp, thought-provoking lyrics. I listen to hundreds of musical artists, and Joni is in my personal top five. I do not believe that her body of work for song lyrics as literature taken as a whole are singularly unique and impressive enough to be considered for the Nobel Prize in Literature. I do believe that Joni Mitchell has many songwriting peers, and that none of them is necessarily a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature. She is considered to be a peer of Dylan's because they are contemporaries who rose out of the same era and movements. I feel that Dylan's music is much more lyrically-focused while Joni Mitchell's is more of a beautiful balance between musical composition, arrangement, performance, and lyrics that falls in a category removed from literature.

In my neighborhood it's common for thieves to follow the UPS and FedEx trucks. Packages are often stolen from porches within minutes of delivery. As doorbell cameras and porch security cameras have become more commonplace we've seen quite a few more identifiable neighbors caught in the act. So many issues and permutations though: UPS and FedEx used to knock and wait for a human to accept delivery, and leave a parcel notice when a recipient was unavailable at the driver's discretion. Now leaving the package at the porch is SOP unless the sender pays for a required signature on delivery, and some drivers have been known to fake the signature and leave the package. Drivers have their performance measured with tracking software connected to their signature pads and GPS. If a GPS indicates a delay at a destination it can affect the drivers' performance metrics and they can lose out on performance incentive bonuses. I've noticed that Amazon drivers take a picture of the package where they left it, and that picture is available when the package is tracked online. I've been home from work waiting on packages several times, and I've observed drivers "gently tossing" packages to my porch from the sidewalk 5-10 feet away. If I'm not watching the porch from my front window I'll miss the delivery. I had a friend who waited all day for a package, which was dropped on his porch during the five minutes he stepped away from his front room to go to the bathroom. He checked the porch when he was done, and caught a thief walking off with the package. I watched as a FedEx driver stopped in front of my house, presumably with a "signature required" package I had been waiting on, and then drove away without leaving the truck. Later the tracking app noted that no one was home to receive the package, even though I was waiting by the door. I'm told that drivers will do this when they're running behind schedule or when they don't feel like carrying a larger package to the door only to find out that they have to put it back on the truck. My mail carriers have been the most responsible, placing packages out of the line of sight from the street and knocking as they leave. There has been a lot of discussion on local social media groups about how to deal with package thieves. Police are way too understaffed to set up sting operations. Booby traps are often discussed, but the liability issues @LaffingBear has mentioned discourage those who think these things through. I have a neighbor who used to set up false packages loaded with old newspapers and magazines -- until someone littered his front yard with old newspapers and magazines. For some of us having a packaged delivered to work is not an option. My company's office services department agreed to give up one FTE if a company policy was established forbidding personal packages in the mail room.

There's a lot to be said for emotional pleasure. Being breached too quickly is one of the worst pains imaginable. I'm always surprised how quickly it's forgotten though when a top gets past that point and starts enjoying himself. Isolate the pain of being pounded too hard or too deep and you might ask yourself why you'd bother. I still do, however, get a huge sustained thrill out of the overall experience of getting worked over by a rough, insistent top. The first time I bottomed my top fucked me twice. The first experience was an overwhelming and satisfying head trip. The second time, however, I came hands-free even though I had just shot a half-hour earlier. Quite a few tops have managed to deliver surprising and unexpected physical pleasure while I was happy just to enjoy being receptive to their pounding.

Anthony has gone overboard with the tattoos IMO, but I much prefer when he lays off the razor.

There was always something about Tarek's look that turned me off, but I could never make sense of it until now. He looks like he could be Paul Ryan's hot brother.

Lincoln Tunnel

Definitely Anthony. I found some pics of him on social media sporting much more hair on his chest. The manscaping is a bit of a let-down. Cameron is shaping up to be a hot blond daddy. I always loved DIY's Ahmed Hassan for his lean body, energetic attitude, and winning smile. http://media.cleveland.com/insideout_impact/photo/-0dc40669845e10f4.jpg

I don't think it would be appropriate to subject men who don't advertise as escorts to speculation or public forum inquiries about whether they escort. It doesn't matter that they're identified by picture and not name, and it doesn't matter if you're inquiring about DL encounters. The leap from public amateur modeling to escorting is a pretty long one. I know we're living in an age where privacy and decorum are dying or dead, but publicly posting pictures and a name is not an invitation to propositions or lurid speculation. It seems disrespectful and a bit tacky.

The guy in the pics originally went by the name "Rod Spunkel" in some gay-for-pay stuff as @big-n-tall noted. He was famous for self-suck. There's at least one mention of him topping in a group scene. At the time that Shane Diesel was doing Blackzilla-branded straight porn this guy took the name "Shawn Diesel." It's possible that the listed escort is the guy in the pics, considering that he's been around the block. https://xhamster.com/videos/rod-spunkel-gets-gay-bj-2306647 I'd guess that his first scenes go back 10-15 years.

Sean Xavier has retired before.

Ridiculous.

Ads are gone or name changed

It was interesting to learn that the single, female doctor has sons. I wonder which one of these boys will turn out to be the annoying child savant who takes that seat on the bridge now that the black guy has been promoted to chief engineer.

Most sexual activities don't have a dual meaning even when described euphemistically. If an escort says he will top you or he will bottom, you know what that means. If you ask about kissing some escorts will say yes, even if they choose to interpret that as not on the mouth, or not open-mouthed french kissing; they'll intentionally exploit the ambiguity. There was a train-wreck of a thread where one escort hijacked the whole concept regarding our expectations of kissing, making into some sort of exploitative evil we inflict on escorts. Many of us are very clear regarding the acts we expect or hope for during an encounter with an escort. An aggressive top who kisses well is so exciting, for me. When I have an opportunity to explicitly ask an escort regarding my own expectations I'm very clear about wanting kissing, and about the type of kissing I like. I've met a few escorts who honestly and clearly state that they do not kiss, and a few others who said that they might rule it in or out based on chemistry. I can think of two escorts I chose to hire even though they stated up front that they did not kiss. In both cases, my instincts were correct -- that they had other attributes and abilities that more than made up for this deficiency. Many of my other escort encounters either stood out as excellent or poor based on the escorts' ability to integrate kissing into the session.

It was definitely five digits.

Thanks. I keep forgetting that this group isn't always the most tech savvy.

Air quotes don't work so well in text form.

I liked the Orville "two dimensional dimension" episode where they promoted LaMarr. That's probably mostly because he was the featured character, and I find him to be quite handsome. It's nice when his screen time isn't limited to a second or two for his quips on the bridge. The "Reddit society" episode also featured LaMarr, but the script was so dumb that I was focused more on getting through to the end than checking him out. I really half hoped that when they went into the two dimensional space that they'd all turn into Family Guy renderings of themselves. MacFarlane is a big Star Trek fan, and this show is obviously the result of his Animation Domination clout -- his ability to greenlight anything he wants. This is a TNG knock-off with its entire look and feel lifted from that era, along with its "resolve it in an episode" character development, and the specifically odd new culture of the week that makes us think about our own. Hiring Penny Johnson-Jerald is a bit of an homage, and I'm sure we all caught Gordon's cat reference. With LaMarr now established as chief engineer we can look forward to Isaac's identical evil twin, and Bortus's entanglement into politics and war on his home planet.
