Is this the guy JJK used to say was big but that he wasn't as big as in the photos? If he was that big, how would he buy pants? Gman

'Sacred Bond'!!! That's funny, Mike. I wonder why no one has mentioned JLA? http://www.daddysreviews.com/venue/usa/california/south/jla_la Gman

PS I've heard Joey Jordan has somehow pumped up the size of his tallywacker. Gman

I've been with Andrew before. But I never have a tape measure on me at critical moments. I know he is big!! But how long would you say he is? Gman

When I say love-I'm talking about being 'in love' of the type the minstrels praise-or in Greek 'erotas. The kind of love you'd want in a boy/girlfriend/partner. The kind of love where there ain't no mount... I believe in the words of Mary Katherine Gallagher that I can best explain in the words of a song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD99c3otHDA Other types of love can still put the client at a disadvantage but probably not as much. Gman

It's often impossible to totally control our feelings. Even Mr. Spock couldn't do it. And the rest of us are only human. With that in mind, I could certainly see a client falling into what he thinks is love to a nice handsome guy. After all the escort will normally be the type of guy the client is attracted to-otherwise why hire him? And this guy to whom the client is attracted to is making the client feel good physically-and possibly mentally. Who wouldn't fall in love with such a guy? But the escort is providing a paid service. I'm not saying the escort can't like the client or feel warmly towards him, but for way over the vast majority of clients it ain't going to happen. The escort is not going to fall in love with the client. If a client actually expressed his love and the belief that the escort would love him back, things are way out of control. Even if the client doesn't tell the escort, but the escort can tell by what the client does, things are still out of control. While there isn't an AMA or a Bar Association for escorts, in most cases it's immoral for an escort to continue seeing a client who is in love with him. It would be like a psychiatrist or lawyer taking advantage of a patient/client. Gman

However even autoclaving may not destroy prions. Here's a nice article. The suggestion of going to a tattoo parlor is helpful. But then again once everything is sterilized, it would be difficult to find a sterile container at home to put them in unless you obtained those bags they put surgical instruments in at the hospital and autoclave in them. STERILIZATION VERSUS DISINFECTION Marc | January 19, 2011 | Experiments, General Chemistry, Houseld Item Chemistry, Trivia | No Comments http://chemistrytwig.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/boilingwater.jpgDoes boiling sterilize? I asked my organic chemistry professor this in the lab and the answer is no, boiling water does not sterilize. That’s not to say that it’s not a good method of killing bacteria. So then, what’s the problem with putting things in boiling water to sterilize them? While many bacteria is killed, the vegetative spores usually are not. The same is true for fungal spores. Just when you think you’ve killed them all the spores come out of their comas and infect you. What if boiling is the closest thing to a proper sterilization method you can achieve at your home? Well, here are some tricks: Keep items in boiling water for long periods of time (even an hour) Rest the tongs you will use to remove the items halfway in the boiling water (it’ll disinfect the contact point of the tongs). Let the boiling water and items inside cool down and sit for awhile, then re-boil! It’ll kill some of those vegetative spores that decided to wake up. Most of the time boiling is an effective method of disinfecting items in a household and even for some elementary experiments. As long as you’re not piercing something, puncturing any part of your body, or administering things to a very ill person, boiling will usually do the trick. Need something sterilized? Go to your local tattoo or piercing parlor and ask if they can sterilize the item in their autoclave.

I'll modify this a bit. The only tight space that's going to be associated with my ass is me trying to cram my size 56 waist into my size 30 undies!!! Gman

I think alcohol can sterilize-but it depends on the concentration-length of exposure etc. And it may not be a universal sterilizer. I'm not sure most chemicals can be 100% universal sterilizer after all they've found bacteria living in the depths of the ocean around thermal vents. Are these sounds metal? If they are, boiling would pretty much sterilize them. Before disposable red rubber catheters were made for bladders, they were made of metal. And boiling was the method used for sterilization. Gman

The only way I would be into it is if we were on a river, and the sounder is calling out 'Mark Twain'. Gman

Actually he was basically correct. There aren't any double negatives. 'Um' was a typo for "I'm" not a typo for 'UN'. Gman

Not that I know of. He was one of Scruff's most woofed at in the previous hour on the day I posted him. If he were (and a nice guy), I'm betting he'd do very well. Gman

He could burn them!!! Gman

There's probably more than one lying about where that one came from!!:D Gman

I like the dream scene from the movie too!! Gman

I liked Topol in the film although the older I've gotten the less I've liked the movie. On the other hand, the older I am the less I've liked the play too. I had an extremely bad time 20 something years ago during a touring company production in Ft. Worth starring Theodore Bikel. I was going there with a straight guy I had a crush on. I was completely closeted at the time. (It was a very strange relationship. He wasn't in a good place mentally and either used me or grew dependent on me. Then he improved. But I was so used to having him around and was so attracted to him while living in my small little closet that I became dependent on him. ). He arrived really late-maybe during the intermission possibly because of work. We got into an argument about something, and he left. I think I stayed until the end because for a long time I had an autographed copy of Bikel's autobiography that I bought there. But I didn't enjoy the show. And possibly I would've outgrown my liking for the show anyway. But the emotional pain from the argument didn't help. I do like the dream sequence though. Just a note. I asked my Mom as an adolescent on one of my first times seeing the movie whether she had ever seen anyone keeping bad luck away by spitting on their fingers. I think she said as a child she had an elderly aunt who did that. I know none of my grandparents ever did that. Gman

This is a retread. Gman

Downton Abbey Comes To America Gman

Thank gosh for that. But you really have to wonder-what were they thinking? I thought maybe the architecture experts of the time might have looked down on its Beaux-Arts Style. But apparently there was a big cry against demolition by many architects even though it wasn't their style. It was apparently driven mainly by money as the upkeep was too expensive. Gman

I just read something about this. At the time, they thought the day of the train was ending. So they tore down the old beautiful Penn Station but kept the underground tracks. They thought that trains would be a thing of the past and that within a few years they would be demolishing the tracks too. That was in 1963. The current top part was opened in 1969. And so this is what we have left. I don't know much about Penn Station. But if you are ever at Grand Central-outside it they have something called Urban Space which is filled with places to buy food. I hear Delaney Chicken is excellent (plus an almost relative of mine works there:rolleyes:). http://assets.gothamistllc.com/images/spacer.gif Come For The Fried Chicken, Stay For The Sandwich At Newly Opened Delaney Chicken BY NELL CASEY IN FOOD ON SEP 23, 2015 12:45 PM http://gothamist.com/attachments/nyc_nellcasey/092315delaney1.jpg (Clay Williams/Gothamist) Of the many enticing dining options inside the new UrbanSpace Vanderbilt food hall near Grand Central, the new fried chicken enterprise by brisket master Daniel Delaney was by far the most hyped by food media—this website not excluded. When it comes to fried chicken, we get excited. The man known for his superb barbecue had been thinking about and tinkering with fried chicken for nearly a year. "There wasn't really the type of chicken that I wanted to have in the city, stylistically, and so that's something I'd been feeling for a long time," he explains of his concept. "I just think that a lot of the southern-style fried chicken is very similar. It's great, but it's very similar, where they're dredging the chicken in flour and then it's being fried." Instead of a simple seasoned flour dredge, Delaney and his team—which includes former Bark Hot Dogs general manager Eli Cohn-Wein—employ a wet batter, which Delaney calls "more rewarding" to bite through after it's fried. "It's a very different texture cause it's not just skin," he says. "It becomes these cracked open layers of crunch that you bite through, and I think that's cool and I like that, so it's something that I wanted to do." http://gothamist.com/attachments/nyc_nellcasey/092315delaney2.jpg (Clay Williams/Gothamist) Visitors to NOLA's famed Willie Mae's Scotch House, founded by Wille Mae Seaton who recently passed away, will recognize the crunchy, amber exterior of Delaney's version. It's got a puffy crust that's airier than the nooks and crags of a purely flour-dredged bird. The two enormous drumsticks I tried—seriously these must be monster chickens!—were hot and juicy beneath the layer of batter and skin. It may just be a symptom of the cut (I'm more a thigh girl), but there were some bits that weren't easy to bite through. Seasoning-wise, Delaney's keeping it simple. "It's like four flavoring ingredients, it's not like there's some magic sauce or secret recipe," he says. "Most chicken is not really spicy or spiced in the city. Ours is. It's definitely a good amount of heat." I couldn't detect much spiciness in my drumstick, but heat levels vary from person-to-person, and as with most places that've just opened, it takes a while to lock in consistency. http://gothamist.com/attachments/nyc_nellcasey/092315delaney3.jpg (Clay Williams/Gothamist) Yesterday, Delaney Chicken debuted their first sandwich offering, a spicy chicken creation that I found to be more delightful than the drumstick. Cohn-Wein told me it's an ode to places like Chick-fil-A or Wendys—fast food chicken sandwiches admired by himself and Delaney. A deboned-chicken thigh comes on a potato roll with house-made bread and butter pickles, Crystal hot sauce and Duke's Mayonnaise, a popular brand in the south. It's simple, unadulterated comfort food made special by that unique (to these parts, anyway) batter. I'd return to Delany Chicken more frequently if navigating the congested streets around Grand Central weren't so headache-inducing. The chicken, especially the crust, was flavorful and took me back to fond memories of New Orleans. I overheard some suit complaining about the prices—a box of two chicken pieces goes for $10 and the smallish-sized sandwich for $8—but that's on par with other fried chicken options at this point. If you want cheap, wait for Chick-fil-A. Want more like this? Get the tastiest food news, restaurant openings and more every Friday with the Gothamist Weekly Digest. Gman

So I'd like to hear from our graphic artists/photo mavens. Any Photoshopping going on here? Gman

You're absolutely right!!! Thinking of Robin is a sure fire anodyne to thinking of Howard. You tease you!!!! Gman
