Purloined from @whipped guy 's pics of the day:

If the one on the right were amenable to bribes, he would be a clear and present danger to my wallet ...

Google reports $3.40 for regular at the Richmond Costco, Gas Buddy is reporting $3.49 for an independent at 8th & University in Berkeley (where I usually get gas), and $3.29 at various ARCO's up in Sacramento, where I was going to graduate school for two years(past tense; awaiting diploma in mail!). Ironically, my mom used to work for ARCO doing operations research ...

Purloined from the Pecs 'n' Nips pages:

I would have given each and every one of those pictures a "like" had they been posted separately ... shame that there's no option for a multiplier which you click on a like through the forum software ...

Continuing on my thieving way ... 79

And as long as I'm stealing other people's posts ...

The Theatre and Movie reviews in the SF Chronicle, instead of having stars, having a sequence of the monopoly man starting with an empty chair, him slumbering in it, to him jumping out of the chair clapping wildly, which would be my estimation of this picture.. Goddman... might heart would be racing to be either one of the participants

No, and probably not (if I have any choice at all in the matter).

I tried registering, even offering up my location, but when I went to finish it said "Ethnicity Required" (which I was never asked), and refused to save the account info

I am not a CMT, but my penultimate ex is. He regularly trades with other CMT's, even after being in the business for 30 years.

This guy is a dead ringer for one of the music students where I was getting my masters, (string bass player) (except that I never ever saw the music student with so much as a hint of 5 o'clock shadow nor any other kind of facial hair).

But you should mention at least one other thing that I think is unique to SF and can't be found elsewhere in the continental US - the asian art museum ....

Another Caber caper? This guy looks like Tom of Finland's Kake come to life (especially the big square jaw and cleft chin).

Charlie was posting in reply and using the same term, but I thought it was carbon *mon*-oxide detectors (CO) that were necessary, not carbon dioxide (CO2) (which is harmless ...).

Jason Branch ... no longer amenable to bribes, sigh.

Depending on how far from YBC (like towards the bay) it might be really close to the montgomery street bart station, and there are lots of busses that go down market and mission streets.

He *is* amenable to bribes (although I haven't partaken yet): https://rentmen.eu/DirkCaber He's hosted fundraisers for the NYC Big Apple Corps (Marching & Concert Band) in his Dirk Caber persona, and is unabashedly out about both aspects of his life. He has a profile on recon.com (tubajack) which also asserts his identity as Dirk Caber.

If you like them a bit nerdy ... : http://dailybruin.com/images/2018/05/web.ae_.pitcrew.MP_.picA_-640x479.jpg http://dailybruin.com/2018/05/13/engineering-alumnus-drags-self-out-of-lab-and-onto-rupauls-drag-race/ Engineering alumnus drags self out of lab and onto RuPaul’s Drag Race Bryce Eilenberg’s side job requires him to pose in his underwear in front of a camera. Eilenberg, a 2011 aerospace engineering alumnus, began appearing on the television show “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in its seventh season. As a member of the Pit Crew – a small cast of men that serve as eye candy throughout the show – he assists the show’s drag queens in various challenges, even dressing in drag himself during the most recent season. Eilenberg, who also works at an engineering company, said his work on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” is a fun and exciting side job that allows him to break the mold of his day-to-day engineering career. “Right now I’m trying to keep it as big as it can be without actually interfering with my career as an aerospace engineer,” he said. Shortly after graduating from UCLA, Eilenberg began working at the company Honeywell Aerospace, where he works on projects such as cooling systems for aircraft like fighter jets. After a couple years at Honeywell Aerospace, however, Eilenberg said he began to pick up other side hobbies, such as running and photography. “I decided that being just an engineer was probably going to be a pretty boring next 30 years of my life,” he said. As he branched out into other hobbies and side projects, Eilenberg said he grew interested in underwear modeling as well. After coming across David Beckham’s shoot for Emporio Armani, Eilenberg said he decided to recreate the photo shoot himself, purchasing a pair of Emporio Armani underwear and reproducing the shoot’s lighting in his room. Once he’d gotten the photos as close to the original shoot as possible, Eilenberg posted the pictures to Model Mayhem, a website that connects models and photographers. About one week later, Eilenberg said he received an email asking him if he might be interested in performing on a popular television show: “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” When he first opened the email, Eilenberg said he had no prior knowledge of the show. He went forward, though, and began working with the show’s Pit Crew. The group’s roles vary on a day-by-day basis, from practicing choreography and singing to interacting with the guest celebrities on set. “The very first explanation I got was basically Vanna White, except you’re a dude in your underwear,” Eilenberg said. His first season on the show was season seven, which featured popular drag queens Katya Zamolodchikova and Violet Chachki. One of Eilenberg’s favorite memories involves a remark made by Katya during one of the challenges – “I believe it was Bob Ross who said, ‘The key to a swollen vagina is courage.’” When he first joined the Pit Crew, Eilenberg said he felt a bit of culture shock. The engineering crowd he works with tends to be a bit older and quieter than the animated younger cast of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Jason Carter, another member of the Pit Crew, said Eilenberg definitely came across as shy and timid when he first joined the cast; however, as the show has progressed he’s gotten more and more comfortable. Because the Pit Crew doesn’t appear on every episode of the show, Eilenberg said the show doesn’t really require too great of a time commitment from him; he only has to spend about 10 to 20 days a year on set. Brandon Gilbert, a co-worker of Eilenberg’s at Honeywell Aerospace who has worked with Eilenberg since their company orientation, said Eilenberg’s role on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” has not caused any conflicts with his work at the company. Despite his dedication to the Pit Crew, Eilenberg said “RuPaul’s Drag Race” is likely to remain more of a side project for him. Although he enjoys working on the show, he said he feels satisfied with his current balance between the Pit Crew and engineering, so as of right now, he doesn’t plan on getting further involved in television. “‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ is the fun on the side, unless they want to … pay me enough to buy a house and retire – by all means they can do that,” he said.

Apologies if this has been posted before; I found it amusing although not laughter provoking: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=2427750390796004

I don't speak or write Greek, but I've taken enough science courses to know that the lower arm tattoo would be transliterated "SAGAT". Funny I never noticed it on any of his other pictures before

I learned to use chopsticks in college and am pretty good, but never have been complimented by any asians on my skill. I have had to explicitly ask for them at some chinese eateries (including the Panda express on campus, recently). (I can also ride a bike, swim, multiply and add fractions, and speak french and german well enough to flirt and get myself in trouble, but not really carry on a profound conversation. But I'll bet @Bucky 's income is significantly large than mine and he likely has more fun in his life ... I also believe in the use of the oxford comma)

The video that Walker1 provided comes from shotgunvideo.com ; I know from personal experience that 1.) it is a sole-propietership located in San Francisco (the owner being the top in the vid). 2.) The top ("Roger") is highly skilled and the bottoms know this and trust him not to do permanent damage. 3.) The bottoms are really into it - they are not general porn actors willing to do anything for sufficient compensation. So, even if I knew of escorts who happened to enjoy receiving ball work in their personal life (which, unfortunately I don't), it doesn't necessarily translate to them trusting a stranger to hurt them without damaging them. (I first met "Roger" in the summer of 1976; I knew his ex, who mentioned his specialty in passing. At the time I was an impoverished grad student, and even back then Roger was an escort, so I called him up and asked him if he'd be willing to recommend a non-commerical top for a novice... and that led to a very long term acquaintanship - I was an eager victim in a couple of his early vids)
