I come from Jewish parents but I'm not Jewish. Sammy Davis, Jr. came from a Baptist father and Roman Catholic mother, but he was Jewish. I hope that clears it up for you.

I guess that begs the question were your parents human?

My my, old dogs certainly don't learn any new tricks (and pathetically enough in your case can't even afford to turn them without bouncing cashiers checks). Isn't it funny that when you have nothing valid or legitimate to say you turn to libel.

 

Thanks for proving my point -- I for one (and certainly am not alone) am seriously over you wasting space in threads posting for the sake of reading your name and raising your post count.

RE: Unseemly and disgusting.

 

Rock Hard,

I should not be feeding your trollness.

However your comments regarding stereotypes are reprehensible.

However, I wish you and everyone else on this Board a wonderful Thanksgiving with the hope that this World and this Board can become a more plesant place without malice toward anyone regardless of relegion,race or sexual persuasion.

[Yeswell]

RE: Unseemly and disgusting.

 

I don't see the need to be critical of escorts. Both Rick and Scott are clearly much smarter than Rock Hard. They also write better and more effectively and they're not so pompous. Nor do they need to talk about fags all the time in an attempt to establish themselves as somehow superior to their fellow cocksuckers. But of course it's difficult for Rock Hard, because he thinks he's intelligent, although he's obviously only of average intelligence at best, and he thinks he writes well, although his ... effusions are embarrassing at best. Am I being a good concern troll, Rick?

RE: Harvey Milk Today

 

Harvey Milk probably wouldn't have fared too well on this message board. He was a rabble rouser, an unabashed liberal, a defier of the popular norm. He had many opponents in the mainstream gay community, which in a way freed him to be himself. For those who can retroactively look at him as a hero, the Milk film probably helping that along, I say great. The gay community needs a hero, preferably a dead one. We'd tear him apart if he were alive.

[Rick Munroe]

I don't think he would have had the free time to hang out on here.

That's disgusting. Who are you, Fred Phelps?

 

>We'd tear him apart if he were alive.

 

Well, it's nice to see you admit that some of you on this board are excessively nasty and vicious.

[+ Lucky]

RE: Harvey Milk Today

 

Thanks, Rick. Your response was right where I thought it would be. The reason we prefer our heroes dead is that the faults become faded. We look back on the Founding Fatheres as having engaged in polite debate, but it was probably a lot like this place.

[RockHard]

RE: Milk this!

 

"I don't think he would have had the free time to hang out on here."

 

With nearly 8000 posts, dear, it seems you have nothing but free time. Imagine that number when you reach Lucky's age (in a year or two). Some say age is no friend to an escort.

 

"Well, it's nice to see you admit that some of you on this board are excessively nasty and vicious."

 

Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black, again. Yawn. Girlfriend, you know that shoe will fit. With your crusty fat feet, you just have to push a little harder.

 

Congratulations on being the superior, I mean, less excessive queen now. Your multiple usernames should be happy. You know, the ones that only speak up when you're called on your "smart ass" shit. Happy trolling and gobble gobble girl. :-)

RE: Milk this!

 

>With nearly 8000 posts, dear, it seems you have nothing but

I am an escort. Posting here promotes my work, just as it does for any other escort. I have been hired based solely on my writings here, whether it was the humorous stuff, the political stuff, or the times I spoke up to anonymous bullies like you. You claim to be "currently working on three film projects." If that's true, how do you have the free time to post here all day long?

 

>Your multiple usernames should be happy. You know,

>the ones that only speak up when you're called on your

>"smart ass" shit.

 

Every time you make this accusation, I ask you to please list these "multiple usernames" that you claim I use, but you never seem to be able to do so. I'll say it again...I'm sure those people would be amused to know that, according to you, they're just a figment of my imagination. (Btw, I actually know your identity, so this "multiple username" thing is especially funny to me.) :+

RE: Cream of turkey

 

Happy thanksgiving guys.

RE: Sure.

 

"Posting here promotes my work"

 

We see how well that's going.

 

"You claim to be "currently working on three film projects." If that's true, how do you have the free time to post here all day long?"

 

Oh, Ricky, "all day long" is SO melodramatic. Anyway, only my hairdresser knows for sure.

 

"I have been hired based solely on...times I spoke up to anonymous bullies like you"

 

I remember that line from Tom Isern. I'm very happy to oblige you with more business and a shoe that fits. The next time you bully, I'll be watching.

 

"(Btw, I actually know your identity, so this "multiple username" thing is especially funny to me.)"

 

Well then, I look forward to our next rendezvous. Won't that be fun?

[RockHard]

RE: Apple pie.

 

Thank you, darling, and same to you. The timer just went off and it's time to take the pie out. I'm looking forward to that party in Chelsea. Maybe I'll run into Rick since they share the same block. I sure hope so.

RE: Milk. I finally have a reason to go to the movies again.

 

I also am looking forward to seeing the picture in a movie theatre, having had the opportunity to be an extra during one of the scenes (along with 69 or so of my best friends in the SF Lesbian & Gay Freedom band).

 

Having heard and seen Harvey Milk in real life, I can say that Mr. Penn got the spirit right, but there were some differences. Harvey was *tall* (like 6'1 or 6'2). I was astonished at how short Penn was (possibly 5'7"); he looks taller than that on screen.

 

Penn portrayed Milk's way of speaking more a more nasal tone, thicker Brooklyn accent, and higher pitched voice than Milk had in real life.

 

But they did manage to make Penn look like Milk *a lot* (enough to cause cognitive dissonance ... ;-))

 

They ran the speech scene in front of city hall at least 6 times ... I quipped to a passer-by "Ever see the film `Groundhog's day'?"

 

During one of them, which Penn knew to be only for visuals and not for sound, he lit into the Bush Administration and current politics in California generating wild enthusiasm and louder cheers in the crowd ...

RE: Milk. I finally have a reason to go to the movies again.

 

A truly terrific film with a great cast. I enjoyed it very much.

 

Look for it to be on the top of many critic's "Best Films of 2008" lists and sure Oscar contender for Best Picture and Best Actor.

 

Josh Brolin looks very sexy in his Glen Campbell hair-do and James Franco (!) OMG ...very 70's sexy.

 

The film is surprisingly relevant to today's controversy over Prop 8.

 

One wonder's where Harvey would be today had he lived. Another great life cut short.

 

We've come a long was, yet we've so far to go.

Thanks for making me laugh so hard I had gravy squirting out my nose

 

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and I hope that one way or another everyone got enough stuffing.

 

Now for a quick tryptophan nap before some Black Friday shopping!

[Guest Wetnwildbear]

Excellent performance by Sean Penn. Made me angry that

 

30+ years later we are fighting many of the same battles.

 

Reminded me that hope is a powerful weapon and that to succeed

 

we must build bridges to our opponents.

 

 

If every Gay Man and Woman Came Out - Completely - friends - family -

 

work the fight would pretty much be over and we would in the short

 

run win.

 

 

Also reminded me that - Sometimes the right thing to do is

 

not be PC/polite and sometimes we need to take to the streets!

 

 

Enjoyed the film - a Little Schmaltzy at times. . .But overall

 

an excellent cinematic experience.
