Anyone ever read anything by the author Peter McGehee? He was originally from Arkansas but eventually moved to Canada and then San Francisco. He died in 1991 from AIDS. I've never read any of his books. But I was acquainted with a few members of his family back before I was anywhere near the opening of a closet doorframe. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_McGehee Gman

I don't make a habit of it-really I don't. About the only author I've read is Poppy Dennison. She has 4 full length novels in series about wizards, weres, and vampires. They are called The Triad Series. Here's the entire collection on Kindle. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01A50F39W/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1453093230&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=poppy+dennison&dpPl=1&dpID=513RNBnzMSL&ref=plSrch And then she has two or three other short novels about a different set of weres. The weres are all hunky in these novels and the vampires ain't half bad either. But I haven't searched out any other gay authors. Reading about hunky guys for me just makes the torture of not having a hunky guy even worse. It's the same reason I don't really watch gay themed movies/TVand never wanted to watch Looking or Tales of the City. I'd rather watch a straight love story. Then I can be upset about not being straight which is different than the upset I feel about not having a hot guy of my own. Gman

It amused me! Gman

He probably should have eaten more http://freenology.com/images/71442946288pineapple.jpg Gman

Strike 3!!!! And The Onion is out of here!! Rubio Refutes Claim He Soft On Immigration By Dragging Undocumented Worker He Knocked Out Cold Onto Stage http://i.onionstatic.com/onion/5244/1/16x9/1200.jpg NEWS IN BRIEF January 14, 2016 VOL 52 ISSUE 01 · Politics · Politicians · Election 2016 ·Marco Rubio NORTH CHARLESTON, SC—In an attempt to silence party members who have criticized his record on illegal immigration as too weak, Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio reportedly responded to a question about border security during Thursday night’s GOP debate by dragging the body of an undocumented worker he had knocked out cold onto the stage. “Would someone who’s unprepared to protect our nation from the influx of illegal immigrants do this?” said a sweaty, out-of-breath Rubio, heaving the limp, unconscious body of a migrant turnip picker over his debate lectern for all to see. “For anyone out there who thinks I won’t take a hard stance against those entering our country illegally, have a good look at Humberto here. Things didn’t end too well for him, did they? And I promise to crack down on all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. with just as much strength and conviction when I’m president.” At press time, Rubio was silently responding to a question about how he would create more job opportunities for out-of-work Americans by repeatedly kicking the crumpled, inert migrant in the gut with his pointed wingtips.

The Onion Strikes Again!! Republicans Vote To Repeal Obama-Backed Bill That Would Destroy Asteroid Headed For Earth http://i.onionstatic.com/onion/1422/8/16x9/1200.jpg House Republicans say the bill, which was passed to stop the giant asteroid from hitting Earth, is 'big government at its worst.' NEWS February 2, 2011 VOL 47 ISSUE 50 · Politics · Our Annual Year 2011 WASHINGTON—In a strong rebuke of President Obama and his domestic agenda, all 242 House Republicans voted Wednesday to repeal the Asteroid Destruction and American Preservation Act, which was signed into law last year to destroy the immense asteroid currently hurtling toward Earth. The $440 billion legislation, which would send a dozen high-thrust plasma impactor probes to shatter the massive asteroid before it strikes the planet, would affect more than 300 million Americans and is strongly opposed by the GOP. http://i.onionstatic.com/onion/1423/1/original/960.jpg "The voters sent us to Washington to stand up for individual liberty, not big government," Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said at a press conference. "Obama's plan would take away citizens' fundamental freedoms, forcing each of us into hastily built concrete bunkers and empowering the federal government to ration our access to food, water, and potassium iodide tablets while underground." "We believe that the decisions of how to deal with the massive asteroid are best left to the individual," King added. Repealing the act, which opponents have branded 'Obamastroid,' has been the cornerstone of the GOP agenda since the law's passage last August. Throughout the 2010 elections, Republican candidates claimed that the Democrats' plan to smash the space rock and shield citizens from its fragments was "a classic example of the federal government needlessly interfering in the lives of everyday Americans." "This law is a job killer," said Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), who argued the tax increases required to save the human species from annihilation would impose unbearably high costs on businesses. "If we sit back and do nothing, Obamastroid will result in hundreds of thousands of lost jobs, which we simply can't afford in this economy." "And consider how much money this program will add to our already bloated deficit," Foxx continued. "Is this the legacy we want to leave our children?" Many GOP members have also criticized the legislation for what they consider pork-barrel spending, claiming the act includes billions in "giveaways" to NASA, nonperishable food manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies contracted to produce mass volumes of vitamin D supplements in the likely event that dust from the asteroid's impact blots out the sun for a decade. In an effort to counter Republicans' claims, Democrats have asserted that the long-term benefits of preventing the United States from being incinerated by an explosion several billion times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb would far outweigh the initial monetary outlay. In support of their position, Democrats have pointed to estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office that show repealing the law could result in a loss of up to $14 trillion in the nation's GDP. "I will be the first to admit this is not a perfect bill, by any means," said Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), who has argued that the measure does not go far enough in deflecting the ensuing debris that will rain down on Earth once the asteroid has been destroyed. "But it is absolutely a bill that each and every American needs now if we want to move forward as a country." According to political pundits, the showdown over whether to let the asteroid blast a 150-mile-wide, 20-mile-deep crater in the Earth's crust represents a potential turning point for the nation, and could completely reshape the American political landscape for many centuries to come. "If efforts to destroy the asteroid are successfully overturned, then there will be major ramifications for both Obama and his Republican opposition, as well as the American populace at large," political scientist Alan Abramowitz said on Face The Nation Sunday. "This could have a huge impact come 2012." With repeal rhetoric reaching a crescendo, the president used his weekly radio address Saturday to state his case for destroying the one-trillion-ton asteroid before it barrels into Earth at 60,000 miles per hour. "I am more than willing to work with my Republican colleagues to improve the Asteroid Destruction Act," Obama said. "But let me be clear: Repeal is not an option." "While I recognize that intelligent minds may disagree on this issue, I believe we have an obligation to prevent our citizens from having their flesh seared off in a global firestorm that transforms our planet into a broiling molten wasteland," Obama added. "I think Americans deserve better." Gman

A once in a lifetime experience!! From The Onion. Florida Resort Allows Guests To Swim With Miami Dolphins http://i.onionstatic.com/onion/2864/8/16x9/1200.jpg NEWS IN BRIEF February 12, 2015 VOL 51 ISSUE 06 · Travel · Lifestyle MIAMI—Describing it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get up close to the majestic mammals, visitors to Paradise Cove Resort raved to reporters Thursday about the hotel’s new program that allows guests to swim with the Miami Dolphins. “I couldn’t believe how friendly they were—as soon as they saw us, this great big one just came right up to our daughter,” said resort guest Emily Hendrickson, calling the hour she and her family spent splashing and playing alongside the Dolphins’ defensive line the “highlight of [their] trip.” “I couldn’t believe how smooth Ryan Tannehill was. And then there was this smaller one that really took a liking to me—he must have been a kicker. It was an amazing experience.” Hendrickson later admitted that her family was disappointed they didn’t get a chance to swim with center Mike Pouncey, who was in a solitary tank at the time of their visit for biting a child.

I don't get it. Gman

I might be going out on a limb here. But as BVB often says, I think YMMV as to how much use you get out of this. Gman

It's always the shy ones, isn't it? Gman

Emailed to me by my 89 year old Uncle. some new emoticons.... These basic emoticons are used often in message means a smile and is a frown. Well, how about some 'ASSICONS?' Here goes: (_!_) a regular ass (__!__) a fat ass (!) a tight ass (_*_) an ass hole {_!_} a swishy ass (_o_) an ass that's been around (_x_) kiss my ass (_X_) leave my ass alone (_zzz_) a tired ass (_E=mc2_) a smart ass (_$_) Money coming out of his ass (_?_) Dumb Ass Gman

I'll bet it was hell, Mike, pure HELL. Ok so maybe it was because his scene partner wasn't great. By the way Mike, how many people would you say on a rough estimate do you have sacred bonds with? Gman

I hate to bust our conjoined fantasies. But I saw a video with Joe. And aside from the fact that he may be retired, his kissing didn't really impress me. I could be wrong. But I wouldn't put being G4P past him. Gman

Gman

I like him in some of the pictures (ok I like him in all the pictures) but in some his face seems too smooth. I don't know if it's 'photoshopping' or what. But his face looks too smooth-maybe it's makeup. On the other hand I'd still like him even if he weren't Russian and were even Australian (German, Spanish, British, Czechian, Dutch, American, Italian, French....). Gman

Why would you need Joe with Paddy around? Did you not notice both Paddy's previous and current avatars? As we bears often say-Grrrrrr!! Gman

As a friend of mine always says, a pretty tallywacker is a joy forever (actually I think he uses the term 'penis'). Gman

I'm imagining a 3-way with Mike and Paddy. Gman

Hasn't he filmed for Lucas? I called him years ago to see if he was versatile. He wasn't. Gman

My heart goes out to any bottom (or woman) who takes him on. Gman

Maybe his tallywacker is diverting all the blood from his speech centers? Gman

Does that guy who is in the "It's Gonna Hurt Videos" escort? Gman

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
