Not from his Pretender days, but still a few years back. He by rumor is a Friend of Dorothy. That Dorothy is one lucky gal!! http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PIwCx7ikIhs/TaZWMoHNzRI/AAAAAAAAAPs/oXSWPnM8jAI/s1600/pretender2.png Gman

I think he is really handsome too. But he is just one of many for me. If we are going to restrict ourselves to actors/people in the public eye- I like Anderson Cooper, Henry Cavill, Cheyenne Jackson, Jonathan Gross, Max Baer, Jr in his prime, The Rock, Ron Ely in his prime, Peter Lupus, Harrison Ford, Michael T. Weiss, James Denton, Scott Bakula, Tyrone Power, --multiple others!!! Gman

Get thee behind me cheese, mayo, lettuce, Miracle Whip, cream cheese on my peanut butter sandwich. The only proper condiment is jelly- but I will grudgingly accept bananas. Nothing wrong with peanut butter on wheat or on toasted bread. Gman

Never heard of lettuce and peanut butter. And while I like lettuce, I like it mainly in salads. At hamburger joints, I usually hold the lettuce because they put so dang much on it. Gman

Pecans are great frozen!! Gman

While neither of these guys are particularly good moral role models, who could forget-- 1. Steve Garvey http://iamstevenmichael.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/JimPalmer.jpg Or 2. Jose Canseco http://img.poptower.com/pic-41805/jos-canseco.jpg Gman

I think you meant to ask me as I started the thread. On the other hand, maybe Steven knows me better than I do myself. But yes, you are exactly right. Your previous remarks on Jeremy made me think of the eternal, burning peanut butter controversy. I'm surprised no one, aside from me, who likes crunchy has chimed in. My fellow crunchy lovers must be out there, or they wouldn't sell it. Crunchy lovers unite and arise!!! The only thing you have to lose is a mass of smooth material without a pleasing texture in the roof of your mouth!! Gman

I've always liked crunchy peanut butter. The smooth peanut butter just sticks to the roof of my mouth. I want some texture to my peanut butter. In fact when I buy Jif, I usually get the extra crunchy. So what about the rest of you? Gman

I feel that way about every encounter. If I had let it or my appearance stop me, I never would have been able to hire. I usually make sure the escorts are ok with chubby (Internet code in my case for fat) guys. I don't usually with masseurs because they usually state in their ad that they are ok with bigger guys. While with escorts because the encounter may be more 'intimate,' I usually check even if they do mention in their ads that they are ok with larger guys. The few escorts/masseurs who say they aren't interested in larger guys, I don't contact. Also a few escorts over the years have told me when I contacted them that they don't do well with big guys- but very few. There was one in particular I remember in LA named James- hasn't escorted in probably close to 10 years- he had good reviews in general, but he said he had been heavy as youngster, and now he just couldn't get into being with larger guys. Gman

Whose ad? Gman

He used to live in Seattle. I never met him, but by text he seemed awfully straight. It's been several years, and I can't remember now if he was advertising as an escort, masseur or both. I used to see his ad on Backpage frequently in those days. Of course I was looking for more of a combined massage/escort experience. He definitely wasn't into bottoming. I'm not sure if he would have topped if I had wanted that. But that being said- he was honest in telling me that he couldn't supply what I wanted. Gman

Do you know this from personal experience or is that how you are reading his ad because while his ad talks about massage, it also says he is versatile, and he has the cash icon meaning escort on his ad. Gman

Orbital fractures especially if it was a blow-out fracture take a lot of force. I definitely agree with you if the story is false. But if it's not- it's definitely something to consider. Gman

I've just seen a story- I don't know whether it is true or not- that says the officer who shot Brown has an orbital fracture. If Michael Brown punched the officer hard enough to give him an orbital fracture that changes the story significantly. Gman

This might actually be a movie with gay characters I'd be willing to see. To some extent I'm not interested anymore in the straight guy/girl rom-coms. For the same reason I'm not really into the gay/buddy/comedy/romance movies either. I unfortunately don't have a group of friends, I doubt some quirky hunk is all of a sudden going to fall in love with me or want to get married. I've decided that fantasy movies like that just upset me more and more because there isn't anything in them I can hope for. I normally stay away from sad movies too. But this one looks like there is a heart to the story. Gman

I may be wrong. But I think the article I read said that whether the airline knew or not, governments like ours had been able to tell what kind of missiles had struck previous planes and knew they could reach that height. As for blaming Malaysian Airlines, I'm not- or at least not anymore than I am blaming any of the commercial airlines for plotting to fly over a war zone. I admit I wouldn't have thought about it either probably. But I'm not in the airline field. In 'perfect' hindsight, it seems to me the airlines ought to avoid all unstable areas no matter the extra flight miles involved. Gman

From my reading of the New York Times, officials new the rebels had weapons that could reach above 32,000 feet. So I'm not sure why the directive for flying at 33,000 feet was isssued. An expert I heard talking on NPR noted that there are many unsettled regions in the worl where commercial aircraft routines go. The Ukraine up until now was one of them. There is also Iraq currently. Gman

This discussion reminds me of when I had my gallbladder taken out. The night before while at home I was to give myself a Fleet's Enema. As far as I can remember that was the 1st time I was ever going to be having an enema. I was a nervous wreck. I remember going to my bathroom, lying on the floor, and using the Fleet's. Once I did it, it wasn't so bad. But still today the thought of someone playing around my butt, lubing way up there- or even worse of trying to palpate my prostate( which usually triggers my 'chronic prostatitis' or whatever it is and causes me pelvic pain) - makes my stomach clench up- and not in a happy way. Gman

I admit it was nice seeing the comparisons between back then and now. But am I the only one who thinks a majority of those kids are drama kings/queens. Also I'm pretty sure there as a command to make the computer read the floppy drive if the computer was already turned on. You would have used Something like a change drive command and then a command to run or read the disk. Gman

My Uncle who is in his late 80's said that when he was a boy, they swam naked/nude at the YMCA in Dallas except on Family Day. I'm glad they changed that policy at some point long before I started going to YMCA's. Gman PS Anyone notice how 'naked' is dirty and sinful, but 'nude' is natural and beautiful?

But it's not just a speedos. I also usually prefer to wear a t-shirt at the pool or beach. Believe me, I'm taking pity on the beach/pool going population by not exposing my man-boobs, gut, and chest. I do it partially as a public service for the general population. It's also a shield for me, so that I don't have to broadcast the fact that I have tiny genitalia to the world. You don't know how much I envy guys who have an obvious bulge in their pants. Mine only becomes obvious when I have an erection. And then that's too obvious. Besides I can't imagine I'd find the skimpiness of a Speedo comfortable. ( I don't find skimpy non-aquatic underwear comfortable either. Who needs a thong riding up their butt-cr:)ck? And I can't stand the feel of footies/ankle socks. I wear above the ankle crew socks. The ones with a heel.) As for tinier and tinier bikinis on women, personally-most likely because I'm gay- I'd prefer they suited up more. And speaking of tight clothing, one complaint I've had when I've done weekends with escorts and we are doing something casual is how tight their t-shirts are. I think I only mentioned it to one of them in a joking way once. But I'm sorry even if I were in good shape, I don't think I would be wearing a skin tight tee as a normal part of my apparel. Maybe if I were in good shape, and I were going clubbing, I'd wear it then. But I will admit my attitude on this probably comes from the fact that #1 I'm not very attractive so I've never been cruised by anyone #2. I dress for comfort more than for fashion. Gman

Ahh Andrew-one of my 'top' (or should I say 'bottom' ) three best hires ever. I'd say I hope you had fun. But being with Andrew, I already know you did. Such a nice guy!! Gman

And that's exactly one of the reasons I listed Raul. I hope you told him he had been mentioned in this thread. Gman
