I looked at the Instagram pics and I am in love! Checks all the boxes. Hot body, handsome face, and -OMG- that smile! I gotta get me one of him!

Sadly, no experience with the young man, but looks very handsome and hunky. A great find! Whoever here samples his wares, please report back.

Rather than stop completely, I would have saved Gore for quieter times and places, and which afforded greater ease of access to reference materials. I would do the same for William F. Buckley, if I were any longer interested in the overly erudite ramblings of a self-congratulatory political Neanderthal and reactionary religious bigot. He did, however, exhibit a masterly and admirable hold on the English language. As did James J. Kilpatrick, of Point-Counterpoint fame (vs Shana Alexander) and who gave inspiration to Dan Ackroyd's delightful "Jane, you ignorant slut" take-off on SNL. His newspaper column, The Writer's Art, was entertaining as well as instructive. Kilpatrick's ingrained and rampant racism, however, makes his legacy considerably less appealing or respectable. But his language talents are undeniable, so I take the best and leave the rest of him. Rather than shrink from vocabulary challenges, I welcome them, as I very much enjoy finding new words and delving into their derivation, development, and deployment. I also drink too much.

I'd pay rent just for the view! Woof!

Is one of Uber's Destination options "His Place"? Woof!

If he'll run it up his flagpole, I'll try to salute it.

I may be stuck in the past. If so, I'm sure some here will let me know. The purpose of language is to facilitate communication, both oral and written. In order for language to fulfill its purpose, it's users must have a common understanding of the rules of usage (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and tenses, for example), as well as understanding and agreement on the meaning of words. When those with richer vocabularies communicate with those less enriched, clear communication suffers. Is it the responsibility of the more gifted to speak slowly and in fewer syllables to the hearer, or is it rather a hearer's opportunity to enrich themselves to a higher level of linguistic capability? (Gore Vidal once criticized Norman Mailer, saying that he (Mailer) never sent a reader to the dictionary. One man's clear communication is another man's teachable moment. It's a matter of perspective.) Creating new applications for commonly used words and language conventions will also impede clear communications, unless and until the majority of people are on the same page, so to speak. I try to be polite and civil in my dealings with all I meet and will willingly address someone as their apparent gender. If, for example, a man is dressed as woman (hair, dress, makeup) and it's not Halloween, I'll call him Ma'am. If it is Halloween, I'll stand mute until provided with clarification. But to expect me to remember the pronoun preferences of everyone I meet, especially if they run counter to the conventions I spent all my school years learning, may be too new a trick for too old a dog. It is, at any rate, confusing to the dog, as well as -in view of its rising prevalence- annoyingly tedious. And why is consideration in this matter a one-way street, whereon I must give it but can't expect to get it?

Hot boy! And that look makes me think he knows it. And he should. Woof!

Not that familiar with his work, but I'll look into it. Only movie of his that comes readily to mind was Towering Inferno.

😄I concede the math and appreciate the insight. Facts are facts! BTW, my torque concerns weren't that the flag gets away, but that it takes the tower with it when it goes.

If they offered samples of these at the supermarket, I'd try them. While supplies last.

Reading the linked article, I found it does indeed state the flag would be the size of a football, but must rationally conclude that their proof-reading prowess in on par with their building acumen and that they meant to say a football field. Even then, at the height of the Empire State Building, it would look quite small at ground level. And have they even thought to consider the torque and pull even a gentle breeze might create at that height and on a sail that size, let alone what gale-force winds from a Maine winter storm might elicit? Plus, the thing will have elevators for tourists as well as a museum to include the names of all America's fallen warriors back to and including the Revolution, a total of about 24 million, less the Unknowns whose names are "known but to God." Unless, of course, one the planners asserts some form of ethereal connection to the Almighty. Which would not surprise me. To call this plan half-baked would still leave it woefully undercooked. I predict they'll settle for red-white-and-blue themed bowling alley serving local craft beer, and call it a day.

Love it when they bring their wood!

Well, now we know why he's upset. Another case of Mad Cow?

Can't quite remember him, but he's on the tip of my tongue.

Doesn't look like Channing, but I like the look. Great chest, nice face, and-oddly for me- I prefer the longer hair. And speaking of long things - looking at the pics, his self-described 12" dick would seem to be the product of a magic measuring stick. But agree he's probably TGTBT.

Meat and cock; seems redundant, but same as my diet if you add scotch. However, my results have varied. Quel dommage! BTW, I think he looks fantastic. Maybe leaning a bit to the too lean side.

That's vivid!😛 Are you saying sex went on inside the bar? I must have missed that. Damn!

Must be working for tips.

You could wrap me around your little finger, although I'd prefer to be wrapped around something bigger. OMG, Boy - just make me your bitch!

I wonder what he was shooting at. [See Target in background.]

The one on the right is YouTube star Sam Cushing, of Chicago and elsewhere. Great body, great face, great hair, and completely adorable. Gives me good feelings in all the right places.

To the stud on the bottom left - I'll not only bail you out, I'll house you, feed you, clothe you -no, strike that last one- and do my best to make you the second happiest man on earth. Woof!

Good heavens, doctor! That's quite a tongue depressor! "Aaaah ..."

Looks like he's ready to stir things up a bit.
