THE OSTRICH

[Guest ChgoBoy]

This week, for some strange reason, has felt like a zoo to me. I don’t know for sure why, but it just seems as though things have been very animalistic. So I called up a friend of mine last night and where did we go; but the zoo. I hadn’t been to the zoo since I had a blow job in the.....I mean for years. I was really amazed and somewhat pained as we walked around and viewed all the caged animals. It made me sad because, they looked sad. There were all these signs posted everywhere; don’t feed the animals, don’t talk to the animals, don’t use flashbulbs in the animals eyes, don’t taunt the animals, don’t call the animals names; and on and on and on. It was like being in a zoo. Oh, wait!

 

We continued walking through the various areas of the zoo; the ape house (saw a few ex’s there), the seal house, the lion house and then we came to what I found to be the most interesting and informative stop of the evening; no, not the men’s room. It was the bird house. What a magnificent building of birds, kidnapped from all around the world. There were birds there from South America, North America, Asia and just about everywhere you could imagine; and then, there it was, the ostrich. There were three actually. Two were romping around in their native habitat setting and the other had his head stuck in the sand down to his neck. They all had names too, isn’t that weird? The two romping around were called Isabelle and Drax. The one with his head stuck in the sand was called Doddy.

Doddy was of great interest to me as I wondered to myself; why would an ostrich stick his head in the sand so that visitors could only see his rather nasty looking ass. If you’ve ever seen an orangutan, you’ve got the image, just on a smaller scale. This was fascinating to me. I started talking to Doddy; you know how people talk to animals in that baby talk kind of way. The more I spoke to Doddy the further into the sand he stuck his head. It was fascinating. I suddenly spotted a rather cute male zoo attendant walking my way, so I decided to cruise…I mean ask the attendant what he knew about the ostrich and its behavior. Luckily, this guy was very well educated on the ostrich and explained to me why Doddy was behaving in the manner he was. First. Ostrich’s do not like being confronted by anyone they feel to be a threat. Second. They are basically anti-social animals and hate being around people. I asked the attendant why, when I spoke to Doddy, he buried his head deeper into the sand. The attendant informed me that the bird felt more threatened the more I spoke to it. I found this fascinating. The other two ostrich’s seemed very social, well, for being ostrich’s that is, but Doddy was different. Apparently, the attendant shared, when Doddy was a young ostrich, he was abandoned by the flock he was born into and developed, over time, a loathing for most of the other ostrich’s and people he would come into contact with. He would bite people if they got to close or did something he didn’t like and became for the most part, a bitter and lonely old bird. I found that to be very sad, yet fascinating. So I just stood there, quietly and waited for Doddy to pull his head out of the sand. I really wanted him to do that so I could see something other than his ass. Well, a few hours passed and he never did, so we moved on to the exit and went for a drink. All in all it was a pleasant trip to the zoo, but I will always be waiting to see if Doddy removes his head from the sand, every time I visit this particular zoo...

ChgoBoy, I'm starting to feel real sorry for you. When someone is as obsessed as you seem to be with something like a Message Center, well, it's not generally a sign of a healthy, well-adjusted, happy life.

 

You didn't ask for my advice or anyone else's, for that matter. But I'm offering it anyway: Go do some things with friends or family, things that keep you away from the Internet for a while. Go volunteer and help some people. Go out and get laid. Read a good book. Make a new friend. But do something that will take your mind off the Message Center for a while.

Frankly, BG, I think it is highly questionable whether we can call anyone "well-adjusted" who makes daily visits to a message board that exists primarily for the purpose of helping older men hire young prostitutes to have sex with them. And it never ceases to amaze me how often people with your proclivities, proclivities that are considered extremely abnormal by the vast majority of our fellow citizens, feel able to paste the same "abnormal" label on others. You want others to tolerate your behavior even though it seems to them quite disgusting, but this doesn't seem to have taught you tolerance for the foibles of others. And you are certainly not the only poster here about whom that can be said -- you're just one of many. Why do you suppose that is?

A quick tally just prior to this post of the total number of combined messages for the Lounge, Travelling Hoovillians, Daddy;s Place and the Politics forums yields 100874 messages. The total for all remaining forums comes out at 93493, granting that these forums are dedicated primarily (although not exclusively) to the discussion of escorts and helping older men to meet them. The numbers indicate that whatever the intention, a signficiant majority, of posters at least, come here primarily for other discussion -- yourself included I would venture.

BG, I have to believe that it is the activist blood in me that is irritating or concerning you the most at this point, as apposed to your concern of an inbalance in my personal life. It's goes with the territory that when you plant yourself in the middle of a controversial topic, one that you (In this case I) believe in, people are going to become uncomfortable. I want to thank you for providing the readers of this site alternate ways of spending their time. They are all excellent suggestions and I highly endorse each and every one of them. Many of them have been a part of my life for years.

Chuckle! I always wonder why Woodlawn criticizes so many of us here for buying dick when he himself obviously needs some so badly. Maybe we should start a Get Woodlawn Laid Fund.

Maybe you and HedLice should take a remedial reading course. The fact that you and he are in the habit of paying younger men (in his case, apparently, straight men) to allow you to suck their cocks doesn't bother me. What does bother me is how quick you are to label others as psychologically abnormal when, given your habits, a pretty fair proportion of the population of this country would be quite happy to see both of you locked up as a couple of perverts. You don't dispute that, surely? Or have you guys told your friends, family and coworkers about the fact that you pay men to let you suck them off? Sure you have.

 

 

And TY -- do your kids know what you do on those trips to Montreal you're always telling us about?

 

So, guys, what's the deal? Does looking down on other gay men make you feel a little better about the fact that you live in a society that despises you -- or would, if they knew half of what you do? Maybe I shouldn't take this any farther -- I'm beginning to sound just like all the asshole amateur psychiatrists on this board who think they can figure out what goes on in other people's heads even though they're no more qualified to do that than they are to pilot the Space Shuttle. I've always had such contempt for those characters that imitating them is the last thing I'd want to do.

Kids and Questions

Ummm... we seem to be off on a tangent here but that's ok.

 

Woodlawn, this question is just a little bit personal and I wouldn't answer it just for anyone but we go back aways and I know your query is earnest. And I'm in the mood to share tonight.

 

The answer is that I absolutely cannot be positive but my guess is that they do. My kids are pretty intelligent -- 99th percentile in national merit testing in high school. So I figure that I don't get too much past them. And I don't try. BTW they are both full fledged adults. I'll be happy to tell you what they know, at least what I have told them, and I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

 

They know I go to Montreal to visit friends and gay strip clubs. They know every time I go because I leave contact information with them. They know that I have friends there of all ages and that some of them are dancers.They have seen pics that I brought home of dancer friends and they have inquired about them. They know that before my retirement I often travelled to NY, Vancouver, Miami and other destinations for 'vacations'. They know that on several occasions I have travelled with one particular friend a couple of decades my junior and that we always share a room. They know his real first name. They know that I have friends in other cities to which I have travelled. They also know that I am not celebate. So what else do they know? Well they are always saying that I'm squandering their family inheritance.

 

Now you have to do the math.

 

Oh, may I inquire if your children (or close nieces, nephews or siblings) know half as much about you and your recreational activities?

That's very big of you. No pun intended.

I want to thank you so much for this post. It warms my heart to know that you are sharing (more or less) with your family members the information that your social life consists of hiring escorts and strippers to let you fuck them. Now, if you could only be as tolerant of the foibles of other members of this site as your kids are of yours.

In my family, we all abide by an adage that has been passed down from generation to generation since time immemorial. Loosely translated, it goes like this: it's important to be careful what you tell others, but it's just as important to be careful what you allow others to tell you.

Well, if you cannot tell family then what does that say?

To that I would add one more: It's also important to be careful what questions you ask others. As any good attorney will tell you.

Who said anything about "cannot"? Do you have dyslexia? If so, that would explain a lot.

I'm afraid you got it wrong. Among attorneys, the adage about questioning a witness is: Never ask a question to which you do not already know the answer.

If you reread my post you will see that I did, your ad hominem remark notwithstanding. The question stands whether you wish to end-run it or not.

Sorry but I got nothing wrong. The statement along with my point still stands.
