Giving Rico a second look.

[RockHard]

Since I'm a firm believer in giving credit where credit is due, I'd like to thank Benjamin Nicholas for providing the impetus to take another look. I like to surround myself with men who lead me towards fun and enjoyable experiences, which is one of the reasons why Benjamin Nicholas is a keeper.

 

I heard through the grapevine that RicoReport had shifted gears and featured some easy-acess web-clips of some very sexy men doing very sexy things. I checked it out and wrote BN to say, "I think Rico has finally found his calling."

 

I don't have time to scour the internet for all the things I enjoy. And since sex is not my first priority in life, I tend to place such needs on a shelf, saying I'll get to that later. I'm happy to say the RicoReport brings titillating enjoyment without all the hassle and I appreciate the fact that someone's doing the grunt work for me.

 

Then, in this week's 15 Minutes, I read Rico had gone back to blogging but with a new site and without that awful, black background. As with anything BN recommends, a smart man checks it out. Needless to say, I howled and guffawed with pig-'n-shit delight. I'm not sure I could have written the assessments on ChicagoBoy and Tom Isern any better, although I wish I had written these.

 

Congratulations to all who appreciate good entertainment! :-)

ps I meant to also mention I enjoyed the recent edition of 15 Minutes. LOVE the shaved head, Benjamin!

I was getting bored of no conflict but Rico really should have kept to porn. His fiction is pretty sad:

 

"Los Angeles based escort Scott Adler (pictured) seems to be keeping a low profile, right, well not exactly. The one time underage escort, who placed many men at legal risk, is working behind the scenes. From an anynomous email account Scott is posing as a client writing to his peers and asking about himself, are you kidding me? This little boy has such low self esteem that it has come down to this petty, ego boosting stunt. Do the mentally ill even know how retarded they are?"

 

LOL. How on EARTH did he come up with this one?

[RockHard]

"How on EARTH did he come up with this one?"

 

Creative Writing class at his local university, perhaps? I didn't take any of it seriously (how could anyone do that anyway, given the players and the circumstances) but I did laugh after I read it.

 

In show business, it's much better to be talked about than not. It generally means your worthy of hot discussion, unless of course, you're the man in the mirror. There ARE exceptions to every stereotype. :-)

 

At least the eye candy of you is adorable. Damn sexy, too!

[RockHard]

Now that VEOH has suckered many gay men (not this one) into manipulative submission, one wonders what Rico will do with RicoReport. I hope he took advantage of Scott Adler's helpful link to VEOH forums and intends to scour all those other sites mentioned. I sure would miss Rico's time-saving service of offering the best of the best for men who don't have time to search and edit free porn themselves.

 

As for http://hoovillenews.blogspot.com/ — I sure hope Rico's reporters pick up on the tip that there's this famous grease-'n-release massage smudger who attempted to muster some dust by suggesting that Benjamin Nicholas and I are one and the same poster. I've heard that some massage therapists dropped out of elementary school and were lucky to find a calling, but I've never met any that actually dropped out at kindergarten. Only a full-fledge empty-head could ever believe that BN and I are the same person.

 

Even though it pains me to reveal the obvious, I just can't resist playing with Jake. I'm sure if someone took the time, one could find plenty of examples of Benjamin and I posting at or very near the same time. (Knock yourself out, dear. I hear business has slowed up.) In addition, I don't really like Texas. I've been there more than I care to remember and I have no longings to return (although business will eventually take me there, again). If it isn't obvious to readers that I'm a veteran New York resident, well then, consider the source of anyone who suggests otherwise and then never take seriously anything that person says in the future.

 

And lastly: I went to the rally gathering place where Kevin Aviance got attacked and I did not see BigJake8. I left the group at Fifth Avenue, where I live, so it's possible Jake entered the group beyond that. It's also possible he showed up at the Stuyvesant Town gathering corner and I didn't recognize him. The last time I saw him he was big and bulky. My friend took plenty of photos so, if Jake was there, I'm sure others could point him out (if I feel there's a need to post those pictures).

 

On the Eastside, the rally participants walked by a vacant Chinese restaurant (it's been vacant for years) at the corner of 13th Street and 2nd, Crunch Fitness at 13th and Broadway (across the street from Cosi Sandwich), the brownstone-version of NYHRC on 13th between University and Fifth, and Kate's Paperie on 13th and Fifth. Tell me, Benjamin Nicholas, do you know my hood-in-Manhattan as well as I do? Cause I couldn't name a street in San Antonio if BigJake8 offered me 10 free releases.

RE: Rico's look at self-sucking.

 

Holy cow! A 9-MINUTE MONTAGE of men self-sucking cock? Talk about one-upping ReturnOfS' cracked-out celebration of 100,000 MC posts! That self-suck frenzy reminded me of my adolescence, when coming in my own mouth seemed like the be-all gonzo turn-on. If only I could bend like that today.

 

You go, Rico!

RE: Rico's look at self-sucking.

 

Well, that certainly jogged my memory. I too was able to suck myself at 16, having been initiated into this pleasure by a classmate at the boy's school I attended. It became a guilty pleasure and I used to lock myself into the bathroom for what seemed like hours. Later I would say I was my own first date. But at that time I didn't like to swallow cum, so I would spit it out. My oh my, how I have changed!

 

I got away from doing this when I went to university but later, at the age of 25, when I was in the process of coming out, I tried it again. This time it took much more effort, as I was not as supple, even then, but I did manage it. But I never did it again, as it took too much effort and I felt like my back was going to pop. Still, thinking back to 16, now that was some trip!}(

[RockHard]

Congratulations are once again awarded to Rico for his totally new RicoReport design. What a major improvement! Any guy who provides easy access to Jeremy Lory is alright with me. Now there's a guy (JL) worth $400 an hour! (Eat your ass out, SA.)

 

If only the same design consultants would volunteer to work on the new Hooville Village News. Pink was my grandmother's favorite color and, like her, the color should rest in peace.

 

I must publicly disagree with Rico regarding his highly critical assessment of Daddy. I didn't know HooBoy and I didn't post here during his reign because every time I visited, I was aghast by the abhorrent behavior of many of the posters. I shrugged this place off as a hole for bitter, angry, self-hating queens. (Happily, most seem to have moved elsewhere.)

 

From my very first correspondence with Daddy to now, I find him to be fair, intelligent, wise, and a very good communicator with a terrific sense of humor. I think he's done a good job handling a very difficult transition while trying to improve the quality of "tone" here. His success is the primary reason why I remain an active member.

 

Rico may have some unsettled bone to pick (and I know nothing of his history here) but, from my perspective, he's way off base with his criticisms of Daddy. They are biased, unfair, unnecessary, and they reek of sour grapes. To avoid any comparison to the likes of ChgoBoy, a low-life poster he loves to lacerate for his infected obsessions, Rico and the Hooville Village News would be better served if they took the high road and kept its entertaining editorial to escorts and the members who like to talk about them.

 

Rico, take this advice, please: you got rid of that ugly black background now bury your hatchet. You're at your best when you're funny—and beating a dead, bitter horse ain't funny, and nor is it entertaining.

[jackhammer91406]

RH,

This Rico guy has more anger and bitterness than the ones he skewers. I can't believe you would recommend reading him. Talk about a hate monger.

He continues to rant about the kid from Chicago, Daddy, Lucky and now Cooper. Were it not for these constant targets, I believe the guy couldn't put a whole sentence together, let alone be entertaining. Even Hedda and Louella must be turning in their graves (assuming of course they are in their graves...do witches die?) }(

[VaHawk]

>RH,

>skewers. I can't believe you would recommend reading him.

>Talk about a hate monger.

 

Can I PLEASE use a trite, tired old internet cliche? by saying LMFAO!!!, as OBVIOUSLY you MUST read the Rico Report site EVERY day, to make this observation??? So, OBVIOUSLY we all MUST follow what JH preaches, even though JH's practices are in direct violation of the tenets that he PREACHES???

 

HATE MONGER?? Is that term equivalent to the westernly putrid wafts of anger, bitterness, and just plain STINK that blows full course, across some very familiar sites on the internet??

 

>He continues to rant about the kid from Chicago, Daddy, Lucky

>and now Cooper. Were it not for these constant targets, I

>believe the guy couldn't put a whole sentence together, let

>alone be entertaining.

 

WTF, I'm sure you'll find that there are many who disagree with your observations! I, for one, and I'm sure I'm not alone, LOVE the Rico report!

 

Sorry, but even if he speaks in partial sentences, or not (mostly not in my observations), he seems to communicate QUITE WELL, thank you!! , so what was your point, again?

 

Looking for someone who CAN'T put together a whole sentence or a coherent thought?? Perhaps the hallway mirror could help you find one???

 

As far as "entertaining"?? The guy always, REPEAT, always has fulfilled the goal of his site, which is to ENTERTAIN!!!!!!!

 

I sure do KNOW, that I appreciated all those stroking videos he posted under Rico Report, and I KNOW that I'm ecstatic to see the Village Report, that echoes the "spirit" of the original Rico Report.

[jackhammer91406]

Glad you're happy Hawk.

[RockHard]

I've been meaning to respond publicly to all the "how can you endorse Rico" emails but I've been too busy preparing for my upcoming trip abroad. Rico, and his desire to "amuse," is never a priority for me and, frankly, defending Benjamin Nicholas is so much more fun. (I hear Ben's much cuter, too.)

 

Contrary to some of the queens' email hysteria, let me be clear: "a second look" is NOT a tongue up his ass, it's not shit gathering in the corner of my mouth, it's not unconditional love, and it really is far from "a RockHard endorsement." Believe me, fellas, if and when I fall in love with someone/something, you WILL know it. (My underwear analysis is coming soon.)

 

Poetry from Rico:

"Several of you think that I've hired M4M poster RockHard (pictured as some old, fat-man drawing) as my publicist errr interior decorator. While I'm happy that the heavily ego laced, flamboyant RockHard has enjoyed my return to commentary and the face lift to the Rico Report I have not and would not hire him.

 

But I must acknowledge he has recently acquired good taste in Internet blogs."

 

Of course, Rico hasn't hired me. He CAN'T afford my consultation fees. My sources tell me Rico has no "real" money, which is easily explained by his fondness for "free" blog accounts at blogger-dot-com. Can you provide a better example of "common?"

 

But at least Rico wasn't stupid enough to ignore my smart business-decoration advice that I happily offered gratis. It isn't a "heavily-laced ego" that makes me a smart businessman, it's years of experience and success. My healthy ego is a mere byproduct.

 

I see Rico took more of my "free" advice and got rid of that awful Pepto-Bismol pink background-color on The Hooville Village News. (That's OK, I don't need any credit.) When was the last time any gay man got an erection over Pepto-Bismol pink? That sickening color may hold a fond place in Rico's trailer-park past but it serves NO PLACE in the aesthetic of any self-respecting gay man with taste.

 

I meant what I said regarding my appreciation for the triple-x vids, and the idea of blogging on well-known contributors here is clever. However, it is my professional opinion that Rico has a LONG way to go before I can claim he has fulfilled his ambitious dream of becoming an entertainer. (Obviously, VaHawk's standards of excellence are FAR lower than mine.)

 

One of the most important talents required to blog successfully is to be a good writer. There are just too many times when Rico simply drops the ball. Rick Munroe, who recently wrote me saying, "I'm an escort, not a writer," exhibits far more talent as a writer than Rico ever has. And Jack is right; who is more obsessed, Rico or ChicagoBoy? (Doesn't he live in Texas?)

 

Rico, it's not funny to feel pity.

 

And finally, it may "amuse" Rico to use fake pictures of old, fat men and pawn them off as his vision of me but I have no fear of the truth. My Yahoo profile photo (pictured here)

http://static.flickr.com/26/189642565_440d9d4f02_o.jpg

aptly shows a decent looking gay man at 30. Yes, the body has changed a bit (I'm fatter) and the dick needs help getting real hard but I'm basically the same man who posed for that photo over ten years ago (the tattoos have been removed from the photo). Thanks to mom, the face is holding up nicely but to secure my need for privacy, I will never show it or reveal my identity to any escort I hire.

 

Thanks for reading, everyone.

Twas a nice pic RH. But if you need help getting real hard now, does that mean a new nickname is in order? :+

[RockHard]

"does that mean a new nickname is in order?"

 

A queen can dream, can't she?

 

Frankly, I picked the name, RockHard, when I registered here thinking, if anyone could get me rock hard, it might be someone who hangs out here. I've had some luck with that but don't be a fool (like a few people we know) and think I write reviews, using the same moniker (or girly voice) or the same IP address. :-)

 

ps To those who wrote me privately with comments on yesterday's post, thank you.

[RockHard]

For the record: I have never emailed Rico.

 

In case anyone has any doubt, I do not know who Rico is and I do not care. I don't think any of his self-serving chatter is worth more than the abundance of time he dedicates to jacking off. Both are meaningless to me and, in the great scheme of life, don't affect anything.

 

I'm tickled that he likes to mention me in his blog and I'm happy to provide him with amusement. Depression is no fun.

 

I was 30 when my Yahoo photo was taken and I'm 44 now (the b'day is around the corner). I'm sure Scott Adler can help me with the math but I think that makes my pic 14 years old. I apologize for offering a relic (unless you appreciate anything 14-years-old) and all I can do is give you the truth:

 

1. I DO NOT wish to EVER be recognized by the men I hire.

2. I haven't posed naked since I was 30.

 

You see, Rico, I can handle the truth because this one is mine and it will never be yours. :-)

[Guest PWIT]

RE: For the record: I have never emailed Rico.

 

whenever the pic was taken, it is hot....you should share more from that shoot with us! Bet there is a good story behind the shoot too. Endulge us.

[jackhammer91406]

the idea of blogging on well-known contributors here

>is clever.

 

If you enjoy reading fiction, he's the go to guy for sure. I guess it is flattering to be selected as a subject for his creative inventions.

As they say here in L.A. there's no such thing as bad publicity

 

And my friends who know me would surely laugh at his take on who I am. Reality bites sometimes. Fantasy is much more entertaining. :+

[duke37]

As a FOJ 'Friend of Jackhammer' I have to say it was pretty funny. It takes real skill to craft something completely fictional out of a few things posted here on this board.

 

I dont know who Rico is , its probably not important, but if he does know jack... than Rico is a lucky guy.

 

One thing. Pill popping? C'mon jack learn to share those pills with your pals!
