Carol Burnett as many of you probably remember used to answer questions from the audience before the actual show started There was one episode where a young woman from the audience wanted an autograph or a kiss from Lyle-probably not an uncommon occurrence. Carol called him out front. He said something like, "I've been waiting for this." He had arranged with the prop-man, and Lyle brought out a small table and chairs-as if he were having a date with the audience member. Carol, I don't know whether she was really surprised or not, but is acting like this is totally out of the blue and finds it hilarious. So Lyle gets the audience woman into the chair. Sits across from her. I think has some fake bubbly in a bottle. Makes a toast with the woman. Says something about what a lovely time it's been. And maybe kisses her on the cheek-then sends her back to the audience. I almost positive I'm remembering this from the original run of the series and not a repeat. The episode has stayed with me all these years probably because of my crush on Lyle. Considering he left the show in 1974, I've remembered this at the very least for 46 years. Gman

Premier just gave up the fort a few years ago. I met a few guys thru them. Once I was at a conference in Baltimore. I was staying at a B and B. I believe it was in the Federal Hill District. There had been a guy I had been looking at on the Premier website for a while-a tall athletic to normal physique with a cute face. He met me at the B and B late one night. I think he lived in New Jersey. He told me he was a chef at a restaurant. It took him about two hours to get there. We spent a nice two hours together. During the last 5 to 10 years, their guys gravitated more to the more twinky side of the spectrum. And if they did have a more athletic/muscular guy he was invariably a top. So I didn't find as many of their guys as interesting in their latter years. Not too many "guest stars" in their last few years. For a while back around 2000, Premier had a competitor for several years called Paramount Escorts. But I don't think they lasted even 5 years. Gman

I hired several guys from Dave. Most were good. One or two were a complete disaster-one I had brought to Puerto Rico for a weekend. I was there on business and had the guy travel to me after my business was finished. Well he got there and was standoffish a bit the first night. I attributed it to being tired. But the second day he said, "I can't do this. ". I flew him back to the mainland early and felt like cr-p. It was I'll admit probably partially my fault. I won't go into why. On the other hand, Dave dropped him a relatively short time later as I wasn't the only person he refused to interact with. I can't remember about the fee. I think the guy was honest enough to give it back to me. But to talk about good guys I saw-there was a guy from Austria who went by Dirk. I saw him 3 or 4 times. He was an incredibly friendly guy. I also saw Matthew Miller who now lives in the UK-but that was after Dave quit representing him. Gman

I was so attracted to both Jeremy and Chris Rockway when they were represented by Man To Man. I was disappointed when I found out they were only tops. But even if they had been versatile, I most likely would never have hired them because I'm not into straight guys. I mean it's possible-that over the years, I met with some gay-4-pay guys. But it would never really have been on purpose. They would have been presenting themselves as either bisexual with strong leanings to the gay side or as gay. I will admit to being really tempted by Alain Deberry from Philadelphia who was straight. I'm glad he quit bottoming around the time I was interested in hiring him, to make the decision not to hire him easier. Plus from going back and reading several of Alain's reviews, it seems that several people may have had the same type of meeting with him that @purplekow describes having with Jeremy Walker. Someone who for some reason gives me a slightly similar vibe to Alain is Andrew Maroc. I did manage to meet with him once. It was a really nice time. I hope he really is bisexual rather than g-4-p Gman

For those who like receiving oral, I'm sure that's not an uncommon occurrence. Even I who am blue star (or is it gold star?) gay man who has never been with a woman, might not mind receiving fellatio from a woman if I could get over the psychological ick-factor of it being a woman. Hopefully I'm not being too crude here, but what is the line in the movie "Scenes From The Class Struggle In Beverly Hills" about "one hole being like another hole"? While that mantra may not apply to me, I might be in a minority. Gman

He doesn't look awful-just not photo shoot ready. I just watched a Randy Blue scene between him and Benjamin Bradley. Pretty uninspired kissing on both their parts. I have no problems at all with thinking he is g-4-pay. Gman

Anyone else ever have a crush on him? Gman

I've never used a bidet. Gman

I didn't see this. If I had, I probably wouldn't have posted. Gman

The Carol Burnett show was one of my favorite TV shows (next to Bewitched), and I had such a crush on him as a youngster. Here's a picture for you younger MC members who may not know who he is. He was the first PlayGirl centerfold. Gman

Gabriel García Márquez? It's a sequel. Gman

It wouldn't be totally unexpected. A lot of viral syndromes can cause diarrhea. Gman

A relative was having trouble in Austin. She had looked for days. She went to HEB. She was there at 7:40 AM. It opened at 8 AM. She said there were over 100 people in line waiting to get in. She finally found some TP. I was lucky to find some TP yesterday at my local Walgreens and CVS. She said hers had been out. Gman

I am not familiar with the Australian GTPC (Great Toilet Paper Crisis). Would you mind elaborating? I'm not really following this logic. In any case for our purposes, when Sears Catalogs graced the finest outhouses of the land, it was made of newsprint not the glossy paper of its latter years. Gman

My thoughts were-and I could be totally wrong-was that #1 people were afraid of being quarantined and not able to get it, or #2 if society totally collapsed hemorrhoids from rough paper would be the last straw that broke the camel's back so to speak. Gman

While not trying to get too graphic, I have IBS. I normally buy the 6 or 12 roll package. And I was getting low. Plus I'm living in a rooming house situation with 3 other guys. I think I probably, at least at times, have to use the facilities more frequently than the other three guys. So I was supplying paper to our communal bathroom. I'm pretty sure I supplied the last two-maybe three rolls. I stopped being the paper-guy either yesterday or the day before. I've decided, as much as I'd prefer not to, that until things improve, it's going to have to be every tuchus for itself. Who needs Russian Hackers to cause civilization to fall-the TP scarcity could do it all by itself. And where's the darn Sears catalog when you need it? Gman

I've been at Walmart several times over the last few days, and I wasn't able to find things. I couldn't find any at a Kroger the other day either. I just went to CVS. They had them behind the counter under lock and key. (Ok I'm kidding about them being locked up.). One package to a customer. I bought the 12 roll pack that's equal to 48 regular rolls. As I don't want to endorse a brand here, I'm not going to mention that it's Charmins-!! I have an unopened 6-pack also. I'm feeling pretty good, and, if you'll pardon the expression, sitting pretty-or at least I will be!!!! Helen Reddy didn't have anything on me when she sang, " I can do ANYTHING!!!" Gman

How coincidental you mentioned this. I recently looked up Montel Williams on Wikipedia. Don't ask me why as I don't have the foggiest notion now. The article mentioned that she was a frequent guest. Gman

The second to last review from February 22 says he looks like his pictures. The one from this month says they are heavily edited. Assuming both are real reviews-I realize it's a judgement call. But I always figured often escorts took pictures at their best. If they didn't look quite as good when I saw them-unless the pictures were totally off-I usually didn't mind. Gman

Unfortunately you are describing me-although I'm not really a train wreck emotionally except to myself. Most people think I'm a pretty caring guy. And I think for the most part I am. Gman

He seems like such a nice guy. If he hadn't been pierced, I probably would have hired him years ago. I know many of you are saying -that's a stupid reason not to hire. But that's me. However from years of being a member on here, I know he's a great guy. Gman

Gman

You may not realize it. But under his screen name on the right it says "Score 100". That's his asking fee. It also lists it lower down. Not all ads give a "Score". But many do. Gman

They do allow comments. We just can't read them in the USA-not sure about Canada or other countries in North America like Mexico. To see any possible comments, you have to use a VPN that obscures the country you are in. Gman

Now @purplekow, I'm sad for me that I don't see him anymore and that he hasn't responded to a text I sent him on his birthday (I hope it's just that he has changed his phone number since he now lives full time outside Texas on the eastern seaboard). But I hope I don't think he is miserable. And bringing him up now has made me a bit melancholic because I just realized that this was the exact month that I first met him in 2012. I met him at the Texas Bear Round-Up (TBRU), and that convention is going on right now. I had actually first seen the boy at Starbucks where he was a baristo. I was fairly new to the hook-up apps at that point. And the Starbucks where he worked was where I went for several coffee meeting-ups. As far as I remember, nothing ever progressed further than the coffee. But I did notice a cute baristo there (my future friend). I thought he was straight at the time. Then a few weeks later I saw him drunk in his tighty-whiteys at the TBRU-he and entered the underwear contest and had needed to the alcohol for Dutch Courage. He sat on my lap for awhile before he went to his room with his then current Daddy-Boyfriend. After the TBRU was over, I went to the Starbucks and re-introduced myself as I thought with him being drunk there was a good chance he wouldn't remember me. Several months later I lost my career. He and a few of his Starbucks friends were one of the few lights in my life before I moved back to Tacoma in December of 2012. Gman
