  1. At the drive-thru, Mickey answered "Yes!" to "Super-size it?" Now that's a Happy Meal!
  2. Isn't it wonderful that we're not all the same!
  3. I'm embarrassed to admit, it took me a moment.😳
  4. When I was a kid, a party line meant something else. This looks like an upgrade.
  5. As to legal liability or recourse, truth is a complete defense. If you've stolen and I identify you as a thief, I have not defamed you, I have described you. If you are gay -even covertly so- and someone tells others -even though it's no business of the someone or the others- it's the truth, and I don't think the law allows a person to be arrested or prosecuted or sued for spreading a truth, even if the intent was to harm or embarrass; truth stands on its own. On the upside for the involuntarily outed friend -and despite his hurt and/or embarrassment- the truth will set you free. He now no longer needs be afraid of that truth.
  6. WellI fill my dance card! t's a whole week's worth!
  7. Late coming to this thread but this is one of the funniest I've encountered. Thank all of you for making it so hilarious!
  8. In an old Tonight Show skit, Johnny Carson read a list of ten things -last to first- that could increase your safety when in the water. Number 7 was "Do not tease the sharks." Carson's question was, "What six things were more important?"
  9. After ordination, maybe you serve as his altar boy on occasion. This could put the odds in your favor; Lord knows there's precedent!
  10. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Unfortunately, this is also my rule when packing for a trip - lots of baggage (and not connected to my past).

    Thanks so much for the link. But now my dreams are crushed - he's in Australia. Guess I'll have to settle for an occasional "handshake."

    OMG! OMG! I hope the one on the right is not a provider, or that if he is, I never find out where. I'd just arrange to have my Social Security check sent to him directly, then fly to see him once a month using the meager funds I'd have left. I'm already salivating!
  13. We've all seen something like this somewhere - On this spot in 1743 absolutely nothing happened! The happiest of times may be less interesting and more on the boring side of things. "History is not the soil in which happiness grows. The periods of happiness in it are the blank pages of history." - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
  14. I have a collection of quotes I carry in my head, one for every occasion it sometimes seems. The one for now is from English philosopher and mathematician Alfred North Whitehead, who once observed: The major advances in civilizations are processes that all but wreck the societies in which they occur. Automobiles replacing the horse and carriage era, as well as almost all of the buggy whip industry. Television, described as a vast wasteland by those who preferred radios and reading. The internet which gives us fingertip access to the accumulated knowledge of humankind, even if you have to sift through mountains of falsehoods and nonsense to find it, and which also allows bullies in chat rooms to hide behind a wall of anonymity, spreading ill will as if it were the flu. Perhaps one of the greatest and earliest was Guttenberg and his printing press, making ideas in print much more easily accessible even to the common man - GASP! Each of these technological wonders were marvels to humanity in their times, and each presented challenges that had to be met and dealt with. AI will be the same. It's already producing valuable results in streamlining design and manufacturing processes, but it also gives life to lies and deceptions by unscrupulous predators of other peoples' truths or fortunes. But the fault lies not in our stars but in ourselves, as Shakespear might remind. Not in the technology but in our reasoned adoption of it and in fitting it with appropriate and effective safeguards and restraints, which can only be developed in a wait-and-see and trial-and-error process of observation, feedback, and adjustment. There will be bumps in the road that AI will take us down, but it will, I think, lead to a good place in the end as we assimilate the technology into our day-to-day lives. Now, if only someone in a genome project could find a way to make better humans. Or will we have to that for ourselves. Damn! This could be harder than I thought.

    Wow, that looks tight! And the singlet's a snug fit, too.
  16. It's been said that nobody is everyone's type and everyone is somebody's type. I've seen escorts on this site that I don't find at all attractive and would not engage with for any price, but that others here rave about how beautiful they are. To each his own. And I can be as snarky as the best of them -or worst of them- but not to someone's face. Perhaps I should be ashamed of that, but I do sometimes like to generate a laugh, just not at the price of hurting someone. To post some of the comments and observations seen here, in a place where the subject of said comments could easily see them and perhaps be hurt by them, is unnecessary, unkind, and unrestrained. Grow some sensitivities, and better manners.

    On the cute side, but more than somewhat slim. Also, it looks like a date with him could involve a Happy Meal. Wish him well.

    And besides the face, the pits, and the biceps, behold the rippling abs plainly outlined under the singlet! (Now I have to wipe some drool off the keyboard. Hate it when that happens!)
  19. On a subsequent visit to my doctor, he asked how I was doing with the medicine he'd prescribed on my previous visit. I told him I'd had the prescription filled but that after reading the patient information pamphlet, I decided not to take it. The doctor looked at me with a combination of curiosity and irritation and asked why. I told him I didn't care how many parentheses the warning puts around "rarely fatal," I'm not taking it.
  20. Now, there's a butt I could get behind!
  21. I remember this one so well. It's so god-awful sleazy, it's irresistible! Apparently, the whole cast went to the same Over-acting School.
  22. If a straight man actually came across a gay porn star, shouldn't it raise at least a little suspicion? After all, as a gay man I sometimes pay good money to do exactly that!😋
  23. And later they co-starred in the hilarious gay-themed British comedy series Vicious. Love it. And them!
  24. I love unwrapping presents!
  25. The dreaded knee-licker hold! Very bold!
