A co-worker admitted that while in the Navy, during a tour of the Pacific, he'd gotten a tattoo on his abdomen, but wouldn't show it or describe it. So, the rest of us teased him about it, imagining that it started out as a sampan, then, as he aged and grew larger and larger in waist size -and he had quite a gut- it came to more resemble the USS Missouri. Seemed plausible given how much the skin had to stretch to accommodate his expansion.

I'd have said delusional and awaiting market adjustment. But if he can get it, go for it.

I've said in other posts that tats on a beautiful man's body are like using the Mona Lisa as a Post-It note, but graffiti works as well, or better. I'd prefer none, but a small, discreet one might be reluctantly acceptable. However, the plethora displayed here, or on the aforementioned Mr. Hoffman, for example, are an instant disqualifier. Here, "each to his own," has limits.

Akin to Fantasy Football, I have an imaginary Stable of Studs, populated by porn stars, actors, several waiters of my acquaintance, and an assortment of casually ogled men on the street. Channing is one of my most frequent and cherished companions as I drift off into my dreams of delight and debauchery. I agree that much of his appeal lies in his looks and physique, handsome and muscular. But in his acting, I find he can present as vulnerable, charming, funny, and likeable. And his talent as a dancer is, I think, unarguable. Ultimately, however, I think any A-List status would come from hire-ability based on box office sales potential. It is, after all, called show business.

Well, certainly something close to my heart, anyway.

The obvious caption here has to be, Wanna ride?

Years ago, when I lived near LA, I was in Numbers, an upscale hustler bar on Sunset Boulevard, and met a handsome young man. No handsome young man in that bar was there for either the food or the ambience, so chit chat didn't need to take that long. After we agreed on an appropriate recompense (for his time only, of course), he confided that he was straight and sometimes found his line of work "challenging." He then paid me a kind of compliment, saying, "But you're actually good looking, and that helps a lot." I think the money did, too, but it was nice to hear, anyway.

Never really gave much thought to women visiting rent.men, which raises a question for me. There used to be numerous sites for M4M escorts, and there still are, but fewer. And I presume there are a plethora of sites for female escorts catering to men. But where would a woman look to find a willing and attractive man for an evening of dining, dancing, drinks, and dick - for the right price? Are there sites specifically geared for such a market?

I once saw a seasonal sign in a store window in York, England that read: "Now is the winter of our discount tents." Apologies to the Bard.

Or my 27th final notice to renew my car's extended warranty.

Jumping into the water to save a drowning man, when you yourself can't swim, only raises the body count. Recognizing that you were in over your head with this client and disengaging from him while offering sage advice to get professional help, was the most and best assistance you could give him. My sympathies for the tough spot you were put in, and my respect for the way you conducted yourself.

Actually, the line I quoted was a favorite of a friend at work and this was his wording. To fact-check myself in preparation to answer your question, I went to Youtube, typed in "you were pretty hard on the beaver," and it took me to a very short clip in which June said, "You were pretty rough on the Beaver, I'm afraid." I'm a little disappointed in this, in that although still to the same point, it lacks the punch of the misquoted report. Of well, another of my illusions shattered. Quelle dommage!

Well, yes, but that's because he looked dead years before he was.

Another High School era guy I salivated over. BTW ... didn't appreciate it at the time, but later thought funniest line on the series was when June told husband Ward, "You were pretty hard on the Beaver last night."

Yes, he puts the "on your knees now" in the "WOW"!

That would very welcomed. Thank you!

The thread Telling It Like It Is made me remember this story. A man was on a business trip and called back home to find out if all was well. His brother answered, “No, the cat died.” The other man said, “Oh my god! You don’t just blurt out something like that with no lead-in! You have to soften the blow! You say, ‘the cat got out on the roof.” Then you say, ‘a storm came up with heavy rains and strong winds.’ Then you say, ‘the cat was swept away and died.’ You’ve got to be careful telling this kind of news, understand?” The brother said, “Yeah, I understand.” Then the caller asked, “Is there any other news?” “Yeah. Mom got out on the roof ...”

I would love to contribute to the galleries, but I am an idiot, and I have several (so-called) friends who will confirm that. I have only posted a handful of pics in the old Legacy galleries and have had to relearn the process each time; I have no idea of how to do it the new galleries. This is an aspect of the old-dog-new-trick syndrome from which I suffer. Is there somewhere here (which I haven't found), and if not, can there be made a somewhere, that could, in a step-by-step fashion provide me, and others of like disability, instructions to post pics in the galleries? I would suggest, if such an effort is undertaken, that it be called PIc Posting for Dummies; it is what it is. One item such instructions should include would be where and what kind of site should or should not be used as a source for the pic so that it does not (a) disappear after some time or (b) constitute "bandwidth robbery" or some such thing. Like a parrot, I can say things I don't understand, but unlike the parrot, I would like to know more. Assistance in this, as well as crossing the street, is, as always, appreciated.

MEDIC!!! Incoming! (I hope)

Love this thread! I tell my partners, "I can't read minds, but I can follow instructions."

Link? Country? State? City? Clue? You're more likely to get responses if you provide more details about the provider. And welcome to the site. It's a nice place; hope you enjoy it.

His GoFundMe is already almost half-a-million -probably more by now- and he deserves every dime of it. Hats off to a brave and gallant man!

Excuse me, Miss, but is this still Kansas?

In the absence here of Captain Obvious, let me state: "That boy can dance!!!"

Back in the days when I smoked, the store was out of my preferred cigarette brand. The clerk said, "But we have x-brand, instead!" I said, "No, thank you." Then the clerk said, "We also have y-brand, if you'd like." "I wouldn't," I replied, "but thank you, anyway." When the clerk moved on to z-brand, I stopped her and said, "Look, there are two things -and there are only two things- you can't sell me. One is what you don't have, and the other is what I don't want." It's your money, your tastes, and your preferences; you have a right to satisfy all three with your selections and spending. You can ask for what you want and walk away if it's not available. You can ask about the nail polish, or the beard, or the tats, or the whatever -none of which were displayed in the ad you saw and none of which had occurred to you before the in-person meeting. But people aren't cartons of cigarettes and shouldn't be looked at or treated as such. If the provider is agreeable to an on-the-spot modification to suit your sensibilities, fine. But, if not -and over an issue not previously discussed- sending him on his way without some level of compensation for his trip and lost income opportunity, is graceless.
