I once received a panicked phone call from a young man desperately asking me to help him figure out how to set up an oxygen concentrator as his client lay blue on the floor. I didn’t know the client personally, but he was slightly famous. A few months later, I discreetly approached the client at a benefit and said "you REALLY need to show them where the oxygen concentrator’s "on" switch is….BEFORE you get started". Without missing a beat he smiled and said "but what a way to go!" The giggling that followed was priceless.

Why is it always the "bad" ones that come back?

He was a genius! I was in Tokyo at the Samurai museum and a tour guide was in front of a map explaining the geopolitical history of Japan. Guide: Then a large storm called a “tsunami" hit Japan…..and later a second storm hit Japan. American Guest: What was the second storm called? Me: There’s no basement at the Alamo! Chaos ensued. RIP

LMAO. I can see you’ve never worked in a “Union shop".

Kerry von Erich on the left, Mike von Erich on the right. God, how badly I wanted to be "one of the boys" in that family as a child.

Yep, that’s about the only thing that’s kept me for hiring him off his RM ad.

I’m pretty sure it was physics….but yeah, it was a good thing.

If were stuck in Upstate and horned up…I’d fuck’em.

I discovered her "Lion and the Cobra" album in college. It blew me away then, and it remains my go to album when I what to stay home alone, light the house with 100’s of candles, and rage against the universe. That much raw power and guttural passion has never been seen before or since. And yes, like most great artists, she was controversial and most likely insane. I’m ok with that. "Nothing compares to U" was the sound track to leaving my first boyfriend. And it remains true. He is one of a kind. Her next album "Am I Not Your Girl?" showed she had real musical chops, and respect for the Jazz Greats. So yes, I was and am a huge fan. I only saw her perform live once. It was the strange and twitchy mess that you’d expect, but it was strong and powerful nonetheless. RIP you proud and amazing Irish goddess! The phoenix from the flameYou will learn You will riseYou'll returnBeing what you areThere is no other TroyFor you to burn

The porn link you sent is indeed hot. Still, the market will decide.

He looks incredible but £300 an hour is STEEP by London standards.

You’re trying to hurt me…aren’t you? grin

I just want to say I love @purplekow for bitch slapping the fuck out of @Coolwave35 and I love @Coolwave35 even more, for taking it like a man. You guys rock. Tough love…is still love.

Years go I picked up a guy at the local bar….only to discover he was wearing these when we got home. I was pissed big time!

That’s all great…it’s still Queens. grin

God, I want this so bad! Thankfully, my neighbors tolerate the local “eccentric homo"…. ”I mean, he does throw the best parties on the block."

Nothing like an accidental reveal of an alter ego.

Damn she’s got a fat ass….oh, wait….we’re not allowed to drift off topic. Wow, that statue of Tony Bennett is really nice….pity about the fat ass in front of it. grin

When the signals are ‘mixed"…I’ve learned to trust the "negatives".

@Coolwave35 I’m glad you got out of it in one piece. As you know these things can get messy fast. Chalk it up to a "lesson learned”. Just remember next time, unless you’re buying….it’s very unlikely coke is going to be involved. Thanks for sharing…..it makes my train wrecks seem less tragic….even if they aren’t.

I’ll never forget decades ago taking my visiting parents out for dinner in an Italian restaurant in NYC and running into Tony Bennett. They went ape shit. It was cute to see. Tony was extremely charming and polite to them. A real gentleman. RIP.

And does regularly like Old Faithful….

Only the ones who are bad at it.
