I love guys. Period.
I like younger guys. But I also like older guys. There’s enough room in my heart for everyone.
But strange as it may be, I’ve never gone on a date with someone significantly older. So, to promote their new dating app for adult men (you can check it out here), the fine folks at MISTER decided to change that… by sending me on a blind date with an older guy.
Watch today’s talky blog to check out the experience. And, in the comments below, let me know if you’re into older guys!
P.S. I just arrived in Palm Springs late last night – so much more to come on that! Stay tuned!

@+J.
OK, I just got off the Amazon site where I ordered a 150g jar of Vegemite, plus some Tim Tam bars to go along with it (?). I do like salty foods (I even salt my bacon), so perhaps the Vegemite will go down well.
The Amazon site also offered “used” Tim Tam bars. I hope that was a typo! Will give you a product review when received, whether you want it of not.
February 15, 2012 at 3:20 am
@ clippersuper – don’t go eating them both together… LOL. Used Tim Tams, don’t go there.
Tim Tams are a cookie. Some eat them by biting each end off and drinking hot chocolate or coffee through them, using the biscuit as a straw (kind of).
I look forward to hearing what you think of both. I’m sure you’ll find the Tim Tams far superior to the Oreo.

@+J.,…I.,Whom,or whatever:
Actually,+J.,pumpkin,while a vegetable,has a lot of protein,and those G.D. Puritans had to survive on it during their first very hard winters.It is also extremely high in fiber,so Massachusetts Bay privies must have been very busy places.
As a pie filling,it can be delicious,but requires the right spices,nuts,sweeteners,etc. and Southern knowledge to prepare__all things not available to the roundheads,particularly the later.Generally,most pumpkin pie one is offered is execrable.
February 15, 2012 at 3:22 am
@ bill(Guillermo3) – I’ve actually done the pumpkin pie thing and I didn’t enjoy it.
February 14, 2012 at 5:25 pm
@bill(Guillermo3), +J., et al.
Actually, isn’t most pumpkin pie filling squash — or as we who were raised in the rust belt pronounce it “squarrrsh”? It’s also a vegetable and probably closely related to the pumpkin, but shouldn’t we be calling it squash pie?
Most pumpkin pie is next to inedible.
Another vegetable pie “dessert” here in the good old U.S.A. is rhubarb pie, which I refuse to eat. Some alleged cooks throw in a few strawberries and make strawberry-rhubarb pie, the cheap bastards.
And, I think old gay folk and young gay folk (over age 18) should all just get along and be happy and do their own thing and love each other a lot and kiss and make up (or even out) and pat each other on the back (or ass, if permission is first granted) and even shower together to conserve our precious water.
Hopefully, that will calm the blog buddies who are getting pissed about our recipe talk and such.
February 14, 2012 at 5:51 pm
@clippersuper:
True,clipper,pumpkin is a squashed some people[?] call pumpkin pie squash pie.Whatever it’s called,it is incredible[if I make it],and definitely needs pecans,raisins,and raw sugar and/or molasses.
Rhubarb pie is also incredible,provided it it is balanced between sweetness/sourness.Strawberries do no harm,particularly is organic.The leaves make a poor salad,as thy are poisonous.
Blog Buddies of any age,who object to recipe talk: Let them eat cake,or sh.t salad sandwiches.

Hey boys! Music is a great way to express my feelings for Kevin. I want to step into my shoes. Listen to “Turn Me On” by David Guetta and “I can Only Imangine” also by David Guetta. I know what you’re thinking +J. You’re thinking Turn me on is a song based on hormones blah blah blah! But just listen to the lyrics and think how alone you first felt when you came out. May I mind you this music is very modern so Bill(Guiremmo3) and Clippersuper I’m sorry. Try to listen to the lyrics through the heavy synthesizer and dj beats. And the raps are hard to understand. Please listen to them carefully.
+J
Yes at first I was acting on hormones then once I got to see Kevin’s personality I really fell for him. His body is just a huge plus.
February 15, 2012 at 1:41 am
@Patrick:,@+J.:,@JoelJ:@clippersuper:
Patrick,
Not that it matters[probably],but I think,& Know that we only hope for the best for you[Yuck,that sounds horribly parental!]and that we love you.We wouldn’t spend so much time writing,otherwise.
I’m glad that music is working for you! Sounds corny& obvious,I guess,but I’ve always loved the Shakespeare line:”If Music be the food of love,Play On!”I’ll listen to the songs you mentioned later,as it’s late now_May,or may not like them_so what? Can’t speak for the musical tastes of others,except to say none of us is dead yet.One thing I’ve liked about aging,is that my tastes in everything have broadened,and continue to do so. Now,I enjoy music,movies,art that I wouldn’t have been caught dead listening to/looking at a few years ago.Still love my old standards,classical music,including the modern and current composers_opera,esp. Wagner,Mozart,Donizetti, jazz,classic 60s rock,some Country,a lot of Afro Pop.
Anyway,more than enough about me! Thanks a lot for writing to us fossils,and All the Best for your first love!
February 15, 2012 at 3:15 am
@ Patrick – I have his previous album and wasn’t really interested in hearing the new / current one. My question is, are the songs feeding into the fantasy?
Music is a good of connecting with people and a good thing to have in common with others.
Just remember what I said in that previous post. I spoke about more than just hormones. Don’t get to far ahead of yourself, please becareful.
February 15, 2012 at 7:53 pm

That’s a BIG PLUS,Patrick !!!

February 15, 2012 at 6:30 am
@Patrick
Well, Patrick, after riding the old gray mare back home from the general store, where I bought a bolt of gingham for Emmy Lou’s new frock, I walked into the log cabin, wound up the Victrola and listened to some Ernestine Schumann-Heink and Amelita Galli-Curci. I was in seventh heaven until I fired up my new-fangled computer thing (it’s kerosene powered — what will those Apple whiz-bangs think of next!) and took a gander at your latest remarks. I was obnubilated.
I must be missing out on something. David Guetta? Never heard of the dude, but I’ll be sure to listen to him. Next time I ride into Dry Gulch, I’ll stop in at the general store again and ask Hank to order me up some Guetta 78′s for the Victrola.
To skip forward a century… Patrick, you may want to broaden your musical horizons a bit. If this thing with Kevin blows up (and I really, really hope it doesn’t –so listen to +J.’s advice) you may find more solace in Peggy Lee torch songs or Carmen McRae blues than you will in rap.
P.S. I DO have some Schumann-Heink and Galli-Curci records (78 rpm) and listen to them from time to time on my Thorens turntable. You can find them on the net, along with Peggy and Carmen. Listen and learn.
February 15, 2012 at 7:09 am
@ clippersuper – Patrick is going to have so idea what you talking about but I think it’s brilliantly funny and slighty sarcastic and I love it! Do you still have any of your original CD’s (ie: Cylinder Discs). LOL. What no Pianola?
David Guetta is a french DJ who produces dance music featuring guest vocalists (occasionally even rappers).
for Patrick also -
I was suggesting that music is a good way of relating to people and establishing things in common. Does Kevin like David Guetta?
I’m pleased your finding music with lyrics you can relate to. Not many boys (and girls) at 13 are really hearing the lyrics – buying into imagine, etc – proof somethings never change – (We did the same thing when I was a teenager – although my taste weren’t the kind you advertised then but people have a different appreciation of now).
Chances are Patrick will be consoling himself with “Adele” then …. I’ll have to google those blues artists / singers…. sorry (Clippersuper – even before my time).
I grew up with Madonna, Michael Jackson (RIP), Whitney Houston (RIP), Kylie Minogue, Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie), Tori Amos, Roxette, Icehouse, Belinda Carlisle, among others myself. Clippersuper and Patrick probably won’t know any of those either.
Please consider the other comments I made Patrick, and look to expand your social circle and not focus all your attention on Kevin – thanks for the back up Clippersuper!
February 15, 2012 at 9:13 am
@+J.
No, +J, no Edison cylinders or Pianola. In my youth, we lived next door to a slightly wacky woman who had a piano in her living room, right next to and in full view of the front door. Every summer she would sit on the bench, banging away on the piano with the front door wide open so passersby could appreciate her talent. Except it was a player piano and she was running rolls through it, which was pretty obvious to anyone who looked carefully. Her fingers couldn’t quite keep up with the keys.
Anyhow, thanks for your kind comments and for your efforts on the Patrick front.
P.S. Fleetwood Mac was certainly on my radar screen, as was Michael Jackson (although I enjoyed Weird Al Yankovic’s spoofs more) and most of the others you mentioned.
P.P.S. No matter what bill(Guillermo3) says, vegetables inside a pie crust are NOT dessert.
February 15, 2012 at 5:30 pm

Re:vegetables inside a pie crust:clipper,I didn’t realize you were from Utah,moron.
February 16, 2012 at 7:12 am
@ clippersuper – I thought a play piano and a pianola were the same thing.
@ bill(Guillerm3) – I was in Utah when I tried the pumpkin pie….. Utahns aren’t morons, they’re Mormons! I did try chocolate and zucchini brownies… they were okay.
Vegetables in pie crust are savoury, not dessert.
February 16, 2012 at 10:00 am
@+J., bill(Guillermo3)
The term “pianola” was not used much in the area where I spent my formative years (Ohio), so I went with “player piano” for the sake of regional accuracy. Like all of DW’s blog buddies, I constantly strive for complete accuracy and truthiness in all my comments…

Patrick,
I may be wrong,but I think +J. was recommending that you broaden your SOCIAL CIRCLE,,not for musical tastes.Both ideas are good:Broadening the social circle,making it more inclusive, is never a bad idea}Something I badly need to do.I think +J. was trying to help you sustain the possible fizzling out of your first love (if, indeed, K. is your first),Sad fact of life:Most firsts do break down,and it HURTS__I know !
Broadening your musical tastes? Great that yours are already inclusive !!! Obviously,I only know you from what you’ve told us here,and am aware that you’re 13.However,if you haven’t gone outside pop,Hip-Hop,etc.,I suggest you do so.

I’m currently involved in a minor religious dispute on DW’s latest posting, but thought I’d pop over here to catch up. (I know — never argue over religion or politics.)
1. I’m not from Utah, but uncomfortably close. I do have a drinking glass on which is emblazoned “Eat, Drink and Be Merry, for Tomorrow You May Be In Utah.”
2. I used to live in the frozen north part of the east/midwest, where vegetables and meat encased in piecrust were lunch, not dessert. They were called “pasties” and were taken by iron miners to work for their midday meal. They also were served in just about every restaurant and saloon in the area. The quality ranged from good to inedible.
3. I’m sure your pumpkin pie is excellent — the details you provided about its contents are interesting. Can’t go along with rhubarb, however, as that is just a disgusting vegetable no matter how you disguise it.
4. I was the one who suggested that Patrick might want to broaden his musical horizons. He doesn’t have to go all Judy Garland on us, but a working knowledge of Peggy Lee and Carmen McRae might serve him well at some future date.

I wish you guys would carry your conversations offline. Away from home for a day and there are 49! BTI updates in my mailbox. So many Yahoo Mail can’t sort through them and many come up as a blank screen. BTW, I love pumpkin pie ,but it is definitely cold weather fare as it sticks to your ribs. Serve it with whipped cream (I prefer sour cream). To make a lighter version, there is a pumpkin chiffon recipe. Anyway, it is full of all kinds of good nutrition and vitamins. Some people eat leftover pie for breakfast. It’s mostly eggs, milk and pumpkin, a pumpkin custard, if you will. Bon appetit! Big fan of Gladys Knight.btw.

The sideways “s” over some Spanish “n”s is called a tilda. The “c” thingy is called a cedilla in French,and indicates a soft “C”pronunciation before “a”,or “o”,where it would normally be hard.

@bill(Guillermo3), +J.
This “dumb Yankee*” don’t want no rhubarb. Thought I made that clear. And while we’re at it, don’t want no broccoli or Brussels sprouts either. Perhaps betraying my 100% Kraut heritage, I can eat beets any day. And a sandwich of Braunschweiger on black bread sounds mighty good right now.
*As a die-hard baseball fan all my life, I consider the NY Yankees to be evil. My team of choice is the Milwaukee Brewers, due mostly to family loyalty (lots of relatives in Milwaukee) and diminished expectations (am prepared to be thrilled when they finish the season at .500 or above).
And, +J., the Brewers were the first American team to have an all Aussie battery (pitcher & catcher), in the early 1990′s, of Graeme LLoyd and Dave Nilsson. Dave later returned to Australia and either started or bought a baseball league there.
February 17, 2012 at 7:57 am
@ clippersuper, Joel J & bill(Guillermo3) – I don’t do Mushrooms, Seafood (including Fish) and Offal. Not a huge Pork or Steak fan either. Do you know what a Choco is? It’s best you don’t.
February 17, 2012 at 7:56 am
@ clippersuper – it has to be said: “Pitcher and Catcher”… hahahahahahahaha – immature moment… over.
No professional opportunties exist for Baseball players in Australia with a “league” being in it’s infancy at best. People here are probably about as familiar with “Baseball” as you are with say: “Cricket”, “Rugby League”, “Rugby Union”, “Australian Rules Football” or “Netball” (Have you heard of “Netball”).
How this relates with Davey dating a daddy or anyone else seeing this? With a more seasoned gentlemen comes a history, life and relationship experience (then there’s sexual experience – or is there?).
I’m starting to see why the term “Daddy” is used. Still, it sounds a little incestuous to me.
February 18, 2012 at 5:27 pm
@+J.
Curious how an old American baseball idiom (battery — “pitcher and catcher”), particularly one with a decidedly homosexual slant, made it to Australia before the actual sport. Either your countrymen are uninterested in hitting and catching or they are a randy bunch. Maybe both!
February 17, 2012 at 8:50 am
@+J.
1. Are you talking about “Choco” as in “chocolate soldier”, a derogatory term for members of the Australian Army Reserve? I looked Choco up in Wikipedia and that’s about the only thing that sounded reasonable.
2. Never heard of netball. One of the sports channels on my satellite dish used to cover Australian Rules Football and I got rather addicted to that. Loved to watch those refs, when a goal (?) was scored,
stride forward toward the playing field from the end zone and throw their arms up in the air. Unfortunately, the games are no longer being shown here.
3. Soccer (“football”) is a crashing bore, IMHO. Same goes for cricket (and, those matches are just too effing long).
4. Re: Food. Have you ever tried walleyed pike? Great freshwater fish if prepared properly. About the only fish I can stand. Have a bunch of relatives in Indiana who insist on taking me out for a catfish feast whenever I visit. Yuck! I relish a good ham and also consume excessive amounts of bacon. Don’t care for the rest of the pig, however. Ever tried portobello mushrooms? Good eating!
5. The “daddy” thing also makes me nervous, for the same reason.
February 17, 2012 at 9:16 am
@ clippersuper – rapid responses.
1. A Choco (Choko) is a vegetable and it’s disgusting.
2. Netball is mostly a women’s sport.
3. I share those views.
4. I don’t eat any fish or mushrooms.
5. The term just sounds wrong.
February 17, 2012 at 12:20 pm
@+J.
OK. Found “choko” on Wikipedia. “An alternate name for chayote, a green vegetable of the gourd family.”
The gourd family also entails pumpkins, squash, cucumbers, melons and a few other things — mostly inedible, like the choko. I think most of the gourd family “lives on the wrong side of the (railroad) tracks,” as we like to say in America.

HERE IT IS BOYS — THE OFFICIAL VEGEMITE TASTE TEST!
The jar arrived in this morning’s mail. It’s the real deal — made in Australia Kraft Vegemite, not some Kiwi or English knock-off. I hurriedly unpacked the jar and opened it. Gave it the sniff test. Not a bad smell, not a good smell, just a different smell.
Got out some Pepperidge Farm Harvest Wheat crackers (tasty). Got the butter from the Maytag. Oh oh, looks a bit crusty. Better pitch it. Well, I’ll try it without butter.
Spread a thin coat on a cracker. Bit in. Wow, this is super salty, but I like salt. I could get to like this!
Finished the cracker. Spread a much thicker coat on the second cracker. More is always better, right? Wrong! Overpowering! Washed it down with a soda-pop. Went back to the thin coat and ate a couple more crackers & Vegemite.
My conclusions:
1. Not for the faint of taste buds.
2. Keep plenty of liquid at hand; water or a sweet soda-pop. Not sure how this would go with beer.
3. If you don’t use salt on your food, you won’t like this.
4. It is now a half-hour since I finished the last cracker and there remains a faint aftertaste in my mouth, but it is a pleasant aftertaste.
5. I could grow to really like this stuff and probably will buy more.
6. Davey Wavey is a wuss!

Please don’t consult Dr. Hardon on this.
February 18, 2012 at 3:15 am
@+J., bill(Guillermo3)
Thanks, +J. The Tim Tams are being shipped by a different Amazon associate and haven’t arrived yet. Will give a review once they are here.
Went down to the Albertson’s supermarket and bought some fresh butter — tried another eight crackers with Vegemite and butter. Think I like it better without the butter.
Right now, I have the Vegemite in the refrigerator, although there is nothing on the label stating that it must be refrigerated after opening. Can I just keep it in a cupboard? Might be a little easier to spread warm.
February 18, 2012 at 6:12 am
@ clippersuper – The jar in my house is in the fridge and I don’t see anything specifying it be refrigerated after opening either. I guess the choice is yours. I doubt anyone mixes it with beer. It is quite often had on toast for breakfast, so maybe better with Tea, Coffee or Juice.
February 18, 2012 at 9:18 am
Salt is a preservative.
February 18, 2012 at 3:42 am
@bill(Guillermo3), +J., et al.
“Henry Hardon” sounds like the stage name of a 1970′s-1980′s porn star. Perhaps he managed to avoid AIDS, unlike many of his fellow actors, and is sitting out there today, combing his old porn star mustache (probably not much hair left on his head to comb) and writing non-sensical comments.
Or maybe he once was a for-real doctor — a colorectal specialist who lost his medical license after giving one too many prostate exams using something other than his fingers.
February 18, 2012 at 10:13 am

ANYWAY:What ever happened to ol’ Harry Reams,anyway? I’m sure that “Dr.” H. Hardon,did the exams digitally,because he found that,as the Colonel used to say,”Finger Lickin’ Good!”He probably used Vegemite as a lubricant,and that may by why he’s still around}as the Dr. noted,salt is a preservative.

@Dr. Henry Hardon
Well, Doc, I never thought I would be grateful to you for anything but thanks for reminding me that salt is a preservative. There’s probably enough salt in Preparation Vegemite to keep it unrefrigerated for years, so I’ll stick it in a cupboard, thus making it easier to spread on my crackers or toast.

@Dr. Henry Hardon:
“Dr.” Henry,you say you are/were a proctologist,specializing in sick assholes:Isn’t that both redundant & weirdly narcissistic?
February 18, 2012 at 1:39 pm
My practice is quite remunerative. It seems there is no end to the number of sick assholes in society. By the way, have you been referred for anger management? You would do well to take the Dalai Lama’s words to heart.

@”Dr.” Henry Hardon:
I’m sure your practice is remunerative,Dr Henry, and you probably don’t need a spectroscope,just a mirror.My question:Do you swallow the proceeds,or just stick them up your ass? If the latter,again,isn’t that redundant?!
I strongly recommend that YOU consult Dr. Rinpoche,but please, dress appropriately:It’s along way to Dharmsala.

Aren’t we getting dangerously close to santorum here? Of course, I’m not referring to that upstanding Republican currently making waves in the presidential primaries…

@clippersuper:,@Dr. Henry Hardon:
Please don’t be presumptuous,clippersuper. Dr. Hardon probably likes santorum,of the Savagelove variety,but as I noted above,substitutes Vegemite for lube.
Really,gentlemen,this post’s comments have degenerated unacceptably!!
February 19, 2012 at 2:54 am
The biggest assholes are those who prove it every time they open their mouths. I should know. I’ve seen enough of them.

Re: “Whatever happened to Harry Reams?”
Harry is dead, as is Linda Lovelace. Got that from a site I visited a few days ago, listing dead porn stars (mostly male, unfortunately) and the cause of death, if known. Should have bookmarked it.
Barebacking it took a lot of our stars from us due to you know what. And now the porn producers are doing it again, although mostly in Eastern European stuff. And I get the feeling most of those boys are gay for pay — just trying to put some food on the family’s table.
Think I found that site by accident while Googling “Sparky O’Toole”, the eternal twink of yesteryear. He’s dead also, of AIDS-related disease.

Or maybe it was the Christy twins I was searching for — the first identical twin brothers in porn. Ah, Tim and Chris Christy. They weren’t on the list of dead stars, so they may still be kicking around somewhere. The Christy brothers weren’t in nearly as many films as other porn stars of the time, and, if memory serves, were sometimes erectionally-challenged in the films in which they did appear.
Of course, those were the days before Viagra.
There is an interesting profile of the Peters twins in Salon. Just Google “Peters Twins” and you’ll find it.
Maybe this is a topic Davey Wavey could get into, as it would deal with his oft-expressed fantasy of “doing it” with identical twins.

Hi clipper,
Both of your comments just above & on-going comments by others [here and privately] about porn stars [dead and alive],twincest,etc.,etc.,etc. strike a gusher of mixed feelings for me:Porn and my own,not uncommon, addiction to fantasy are definitely GUILTY PLEASURES.They certainly come in handy [pun intended],and can be,often simultaneously: artistically creative,pleasurable,gross,predictable & boring,and magical.The guilty aspects are the realities__knowing that many of the “models” are addicted,their performances coerced,and the actions not only un-safe,but,TOO OFTEN, lethal.
QUESTION??:Seriously,how do we deal with this,or Not deal with this? “O felix culpa” doesn’t seem to do it.Comments??[please.]
February 19, 2012 at 12:12 pm
@Dr. Henry Hardon:
Please,”Dr.”Hardon,
No false modesty!,no more deceptive understatements: You know you see an as.hole every time you look at a mirror.You not only see one,but embody one. I shouldn’t think it exaggeration to state that you are the archetype of that part of the anatomy.

@bill(Guillermo3) et al.
The Czech Republic, followed closely by Hungary, is now the porn capitol of Europe. And Russia is getting into the act big time. Why? Because the actors work cheaply compared with their U.S., British, French and German counterparts.
The majority of material coming out of Eastern Europe is bareback. Even BelAmi is beginning to make bareback “films.” I wonder if the young men — and they mostly appear to be YOUNG — and women have any idea of the dangers involved?
I have stopped buying DVD’s that I know or suspect were shot in Eastern Europe. It isn’t much, I know, but it’s my own little protest over the way these kids are being taken advantage of.
February 19, 2012 at 3:58 pm
@bill(Guillermo3)
You’re right about felix culpa. Don’t think that concept has worked since Adam and Eve were bounced out of the Garden of Eden following the forbidden fruit episode, thus saving all the rest of us from unwarranted eternal damnation.

@clippersuper:
Well,clipper,Re:both of your comments:1]Your theology is bizarre [enough so that I detect an influence by L'Ron's "Diuretics"] and 2]:I’ll continue my porno-ranting via e-mail,so as not to monopolize this space.I’ll close by commenting that,of course Felix was “culpa”,considering how much he drank!!
February 19, 2012 at 8:39 pm
The sexploitation of young men and women is part of a much larger problem of human trafficking. The problem is especially common in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. The U.S. State Dept. is using its diplomatic resources to address the problem with foreign governments and I believe the United Nations is also involved. Here in the U.S., the porn problem appears to be linked to homeless teens living on the streets and prostituting themselves to get by. If your city has a drop-in center for homeless kids, you could support that.
In the Showtime series Queer as Us, there is a scene at a bareback sex orgy. I thought that was unfortunate given the presence of AIDS in the gay community. What were they thinking out there in Hollywood?
February 19, 2012 at 8:42 pm
What other fairy tales do you know?
February 19, 2012 at 8:22 pm
@+J.:
Sorry,+J.,to have mis-addressed my techno comments to you>careless reading on my part!
BTW:In the English-speaking world,too usually means also,or excessive[ly],and we say/write:”by the way”.Perhaps you’re showing symptoms of rhubarb withdrawal?
February 19, 2012 at 8:57 pm
@Joel J:
Joel,
I assume you question about “fairy tales” was addressed to clippersuper,regarding his mention of Adam & Eve.
If not,while the terminology is extremely incorrect,politically,I must say that some guys I know are excellent tellers of tales.
February 19, 2012 at 9:58 pm
@Joel J, bill(Guillermo3), +J., et al.
1. In defense of “Queer as Folk”, which doesn’t really need defending by the likes of me; the barebacking episode you mention was deplored by the main characters as the episode went on and served to show the hypocrisy of the preachy author who was in attendance at the BB session. OK, so QAF was a gay soaper but it was watched by a good cross section of the population, including a lot of hetero women. Throughout the series, the importance of using condoms was stressed.
2. Just who was “fairy tales” addressed to? Of course, the Adam and Eve bible story is a fairy tale, as is much in the Old Testament. Please remember this book was written for people even dumber than us.
3. I would be happy to continue this discussion off-line, but I don’t have Joel J’s or +J.’s Email addresses. (Actually, +J. hasn’t been involved in this turn of the thread so far.) If these fine fellows would allow bill to pass on their Email addresses to me (via Email, of course), I would be happy in get involved in a three or four-way discussion on damn near any subject.
February 19, 2012 at 10:14 pm
@clippersuper:,@JoelJ:,@+J.:,@Patrick:
Yes,clipper.I have their addresses,and I believe I have these usual suspects’ permission to share them.If I don’t have their permission,what are they going to do about it,tell my Mom?Have an injunction filed on my cyberspace?! Will send them to you later this evening,right after I contact the Santorum campaign & the Phelpses.
February 20, 2012 at 2:27 am
@clippersuper:,@JoelJ:,@+J.:,@Patrick:
Well,guys,Im afraid I lied,but because of the distress of a fellow BTI-er,coupled with my verbal incontinence,forwarding of the e-addresses will have to wait until later today.It’s 1:25 am Monday,and this old legend-in hi-own-mind,is done for now:Later!
February 23, 2012 at 7:19 am
OK. loved the talky blog. However, guys older than myself, usually don’t give me a second look. Yes, I’m overweight. The odd thing is, it’s the young ones that are more in to me. So would I date someone older than me, yes. Would i sleep with him, probably.
