[gallahadesquire]

This fellow pops up in Boston from time to time. No problem with his ego. Nice photos. I tried to book a massage with him once before, but got nowhere.

 

Any info?

Love the use of the word 'unique'--what, 6 times in his ad? "My massage is unique because I'm unique and my body is hand crafted and unique.."...LOL! And at the bottom....'My massage oil is unique'.

 

Gentleman's bet that it comes out of a Neutrogena bottle? Only once have I seen a masseuse mix a bunch together to make a 'custom' oil...

 

Interesting picture- out of Franklin TN for that gym, not Franklin MA...googled it.

Oh TB you are unique, don't know about these others. Seriously, unique is an overused word!

And unique is a neutral word in my mind- neither good nor bad inherently, just one of a kind, and yet it is often assumed to be positive.

I'm probably remembering this wrong, but an old episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show had Ted Knight (speaking of remembering it wrong, what was his character's name?) acting in a play. Everyone was struggling to find ways to tell him that his truly horrendous performance was NOT horrible. "Unique" and "Interesting" were a couple they came up with.

'Interesting' is an excellent word by which to avoid an awkward comment.

My dad, when confronted with a proud parent displaying a picture of a not-very-cute baby, would say "Now, THAT's a (boy or girl)!"

Noël Coward had a great trick when forced to sit through a terrible play in which a friend was performing. Afterwards, he would walk up to them, beaming, and exclaim: "Darling! 'Marvelous' isn't the word!"

 

Similarly, Harold Ross, editor of the New Yorker, was a master of faint praise, once writing in a letter of recommendation: "the man who gets Mr. Jones to work for him will be lucky indeed."

[hornytwells]

Coward had a few lines for such occasions, another favourite was: My dear, you should have been in the audience!"

However....( To be clear) An hour spent with @tristanbaldwin is a treasure and uniquely enjoyable in the most positive sense possible.

I used to read consultant's notes and respond: "[the consultant's] note read and appreciated" meaning "I got what what you said. I don't agree, but I got it."

I had him for a massage several years ago. It was okay, but I don't recommend him based on my experience.

Bump

 

Anyone else?

One thing to be aware of: although he advertises in Boston, he now lives in Marlborough, which is close to an hour west. This is a semi-recent move.

Actually, that’s much closer for me.
