@Hump There are a lot of younger, white other that grew up on that shit, so, i don,t thing its totally confided to hood rats. i think the Super Bowel is reflecting the times and culture. Me, i hate wrap like Country Music, i am a rocker, p…
"Bat Out of Hell" is a classic album. Meat and Steinam were a match made in rock & roll history. RIP
@Current It all is centered around the sexualisation of women in Swedish society and the misogyny, and disregard for them .... much like most societies, including ours is. Salander is very passionate about whats happening to a women, but s…
@Current .... IF curios, read the books.
@Current I'm glad you checked it out. Still dont think the US version is all that good .... but different strokes. Yea, Rona Mara is a sexy vixen.
@Current You need to watch the original Swedish trilogy with Nommi Rapace. That American adaptation was pretty lame.
RIP Mr. Poitier. My favs ... A raisin in the Sun, In the Heat of the Night, The blackboard Jungle, and of course, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Him and Rod Steiger together; tense, repressed anger, great acting and then some understanding…

@Current "slipped and fell", my ass ... well ... his ass really. "Wink wink nudge nudge. Say no more, say no more."
@Fun Do you really believe this bullshit conspiracy theory? What a bunch of horse shit you advocate as 'truth', get a fucking grip on whats going on, and not just sticking your tongue six inches up your fearless leader.
Thanks DTH ... I loved it to, especially from Mark Twain.
“There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable.” Mark Twain
I downloaded and starting watching "No Time to Die", a James Bond flick with Daniel Craig. While really like Bond films and Craig's acting, i couldn't get past 30 or 40 minutes of this flick. This i probably the worst Bond film i have ever…
@Fun It's not just the politicos,it's more pervasive than that,its in everyday walk of life ... and its especially true in this Forum.
@ Fokkers We get that all the time, no one reads profiles or preferences anymore, seems that most think that they have something to offer that will make us submit. Asswipes! We get 'Hi how are you", "want to please her", "I have a big dick…
@Fokkers I was never really a big fan of his, but, he did impress me in "Blue Velvet" and especially in "A Long Days Journey Into Night" and "Paris Texas". RIP
@Bonnie Who the fuck are you to dismiss anyone? You have too high an opinion of yourself.
@Bonnie Not at all interested in your justification Take care
@Current Im trying to wait for part two to see how it flows with the first installment for a final judgemant
@Bonnie It does not need context that statement. Just like saying you hate Jews, you hate blacks, you hate gays and lesbians, you hate immigrants, Arabs, etc. What context is required to these statement ............ or is it all just ratio…
@Bonnie I know what context is, but none of this he said/ she said is not quite real communication, now is it? No one is willing to actually discuss things anymore, no one is looking at another viewpoint, we are so divided its pathetic.
@Bonnie ..... I read this Politics forum every day. Your statement is just a standalone that i took issue with. Otherwise, i dont have issues with you, or the position you posit. Sadly, every post seems to display a definitive prejudice on…
@Bonnie "If you can’t be on Trumps platform, you can’t see if anything is wrong ! " That is just such a gross generalization , trying to state that only Trump supporters and Republicans have seen the light and know the 'truth". Sorry, cant…
@Hot Sorry. It is still worth a watch.
@ Catchy "The casting was disappointing to say the least ... " Overall, i agree with you.
@Mayhem That would be David Lynch's version of "Dune" done in 1984. As i mentioned, that is not one of my favs.
@Funfor " ...... Colin Powell should have been tried for war crimes with Bush , Wolfowitz and Cheney......" I have been saying that for years, though, i would put Powell at the end of that equation. I believe the main promoter of all this…
@Wayne So, i went to update our age and other info, and i cant, why? because i am told that something in the "What we are looking for" section is not proper, when it has been for the past 12 years. Please explain Wayne why'?
Dune (2021) -- Denis Villeneuve. I watched Villeneuve's version of this classic sci-fi novel two days ago and re-watched it last night again. He is one of my favorite current directors with films like " Polytechnique ", "Maelstrom", "Priso…
My 1969 Thunderbird, with a 429 Big block V8 engine, in black, white interior leather with chauffeur doors. Put the peddle down and it moved, but you could see the gas gauge go down as you were hitting it! (my ex-wife drove it into a sea w…
@ current @ Natural ... I first ran into Rilke when I was 13 or 14 studying in a gymnasium in Germany. At that age I didn't understand his imagery or poetry much. But, I recall it left me haunted, like a secret to be discovered. Years late…
Naturals quote reminded me my fav "And if the earthly has forgotten You, say to the still earth: I flow. To the rushing water speak: I am. Rainer Maria Rilke (German Poet) Sonnets to Orpheus, Second Series #29

@current "..this is little known the first version of "Dersu Uzala" from 1961. Based on a true story. The famous Kurosawa's "Dersu Uzala" is a remake made 15 years later, in 1975. Check it out on IMDB..
@HOT "I could kick back and reread the Iliad on the way to work". Love the response
@Current Thanks for the info. I wasnt aware that Dersu Uzala was a remake of a Russian film.
@SCswing Exactly thats the 'gloryholes' we have done, with people we know in the group. Its been fun.
@Hot "I don’t see how a gloryhole/adult theater scene is higher risk for STDs than the orgy room at Trapeze. Mia" I will try to explain our thoughts on it. At least at Playroom at a club you can see what a penis is attached to, you can hav…
@8inch Is that saying that Stalin turned out better than Lenin or Castro was better than Battsita. There has to be Accountability , trust and transparent. Just because he is of another paryt, doesn exempt him from scrutiny. I have never ha…
@Va yes you did not mention ' When you are out in the clubs, etc, ,are your impression based on observation, viewed interactions, or just assumptions that they are active Swingers?
I have to admit, this administration is troubling and very disappointing. Sad, i was expecting so much more ..............
@Current "The Seven Samurai" wasn't a bad movie, but nowhere near the underlying angst, determination, character study of the original, IMO. Hollywood did another remake of Kurasawa's "Rashamon", in a western setting, which name i don't re…
@VA I agree. people are being more gender fluid.
@Hot I dont think i agree with you on that
@Current This is very true,But, some situations are just a higher risk level.
Adult Book Stores, like glory holes, are a Russian roulette for Stds. Hiv, etc. For us, not worth the risk.
@NandR Did you know that the session guitarist on Bowies song/album was Stevie Ray Vaughn? When i heard that song, i was listening to the guitar track mainly and I was like who the fuck is that? I called up WPLR in New York and the disc Jo…
@Goodgolly I think it has, at least for us. I cant remember that last time we hooked here, perhaps an occasional bi single, and have found more attentions just being out and about at clubs, bars, etc. We have pretty much steered away from…
@8inch "A good plot, developed characters and great dialoge can be found in any nationality/language. " Haven't found many of those lately. Many American films, not the 'action' stuff' is remakes of older movies. As for foreign movies bein…
American cinema is vapid! It is all this superhero shit or all CGI type action movies; nothing 0f substance, nothing pertinent or dealing with our problems, anxieties, or social problems. It reminds me of the movies made in the late 30' an…
@goodgolly We get that all the time, they dont read profiles at all. Worst are, of course, the single guys or the ones you can tell arent with woman or are trying to have an affair.We state in our profile that if you are single, male or fe…
@TBR Man, 'scientist' will do anything to get printed and noted. Bottom line for us is it doesnt matter what their experiences are, ho many people the have been with ... more partners are not exactly a guarantee of their sexiness and espec…

Michael Kenneth Williams ............... RIP. "The Brooklyn-born actor burst onto the scene in the HBO drama series The Wire. He played Omar, a robber of drug dealers whose quirks made him so memorable. He followed with the HBO series Boar…
HFT ... By your logic of 'Puppet Masters" , and their overwhelming influence, .............. doesn't that mean that they installed Trump and had him on their strings?
@RO thanks for the addition info.
@Ro .... that is their requirement. What i dont understand is if she was tested in the states, allowed on the aircraft, and tested positive on arrival. Now we all have heard that the PCR test arent always perfect. Remember all the 'false-…
@Hot ..... I have read a few of the studies and the statistics are frightening. Aren't too many conclusive theories out there as to why? This article may be of interest to you: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7969862/
Just FYI ... Here in the Cayman islands a visitor must show the negative antigen test before they are allowed to board the airplane. Upon arrival, the get tested again at the airport. If it returns a negative result the visitors are allowe…
@Mayhem .... " Reports are that Davis was diagnosed with the virus approximately 10 days ago after a routine COVID-19 antigen test. She was placed in isolation at the Hedonism II hotel where was vacationing" Ok, some speculation here but .…
@Ro Thanks mate for the info
@Mayhem Thx for the link, though the article isnt very informative at all. The one take away i have is that the husband/lover didnt have her evacuated even if there was no insurance coverage.
@Ro ... Was she vaccinated?
@VA I suppose one could say they died because of an ignorant conviction. Stupid fucks. I guess i should voice a RIP for all the anti-vaccine folks that have died of Covid .... but, i feel no sympathy for them.
@Sna tomayto, tomahto
@8inch ............ do yourself a favor and listen to the entire track .... the drum solo is as good as any that Ginger Baker laid down and Brann's guitar solo/shredding is something behold, if only for rock&roll history appreciating. Its…
The Lead Guitarist. Eric Brann, was 16 or 17 years old when he played that track ... pretty amazing. There is no way to argue that this band was a precursor to heavy metal. That opening organ riff is instantly recognizable.
Ron Bushy, drummer for the Iron Butterfly, dead at 79. What a monster drummer he was, especially on “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”, it was so raw and primal. I still have the album and a cd of this. RIP
Seems to me, that this "Topic: The days news ....", is SLS's version of a good ole' circle jerk.
The names, the courage and the ultimate sacrifice they made should never be forgotten, just as those that served in other conflicts. Go easy Bros
@Bonnie Is he still on about that the election was not legitimate?
@HFT I don't know if investing in Central/South America would have worked out well. Those countries are piss poor and most aren't educated. Also, if you recall all the turmoil and the corruption in government. It would take mucho dinero an…
It sounds like an unthoughtful wishy-washy pipe dream to me. The goals are admirable ,,,, will just never happen. But, im sure we will be throwing a bunch of money this plan.
@nj Yes i see the handwriting on the wall as well ... and its always about the money. I too, will not renew anything on this site .... sucks enough as is and has been for the past 4 - 5 yrs. I almost feel bad for Wayne, he is the messenger…
@Someone "B&C, Yes but Democrats are so stupid they don't know and better and will not question the propaganda." As opposed to republicans who towed the party line and ate propaganda for meals under the Trump regime? Or did you miss that o…
@Hump You are really obsessed with cock sucking .................. I wonder what Dr. Freud would have to say about that.
@Bonnie Where is the source of your covid vaccine death claims? I'd like to read that and inform myself.
@2MUCHFUN Do you really expect these people to give source material as to how they came to their opinions and subsequent posts ? its very simple, they pull all this shit out of their ass, they wont give you their source ever, if they did y…
@Hump None actually. Cuban women ... oh shit yes.
@Hump As soon as its pulled out of your wifes throat
@HFT Please don't lower yourself in the pig shit that Hump thrives in. No woman should be talked about like that .... ever. I'm really surprised that the women in the Forum don't call the men out ......... but perhaps its all guys in this…
@ Hump "So if you cannot handle the truth block us anytime. " You wouldn't know the truth if it bit you on your naughty bits. all you do is insult people with no more than, ill be generous, a 100 word vocabulary. the only 'truth' you will…
@VA they most certainly do not. Lotsa the messages we get is from str8 singles, while our profile clearly stats if you are single, F or M, you must be bi. With couples of course, we dont have that restriction. Both of us want to get on the…
Speaking of Trump quotes ................... "We must protect the civil rights of American citizens - African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, and all Americans - by ensuring that their jobs, wages, and well-being come first." Donald Trump
@HFT No, not a lawyer. Its just odd to me that whenever i have asked you, or those of your convictions, to reference me the source of your quotes and formulated opinions ..... Not ONCE has anyone of y'all supplied it and its just on to ano…
@HFT True that. 3rd is 'i will respect you in the morning'
@HFT ... That is a very funny response! oh, the checks in the mail.
@HFT "Mias, Must be biological related to the Castro Crime Family. I Hunter on your payroll????? " How did you know that i was born in the 'Cuban' section of Hungary. Uncanny your insight! Well yeah, Hunter is on my payroll, just as are yo…
@Ron Yes, it is very shameful as to refugees, Cuban and otherwise, and how they are treated and deported back. And you say folks wanting to help get fined or worse. Shame on that. Remember you told me i need to find an island and move ther…
@Fun "Be careful , this little island played a big part in the Cold War and has played a big part in what is going on in central and So. America. Cuba is supposed to be the model for Venezuela , Nicaragua , El Salvador . " Now who is preac…
@Hump Pls list the companies that actually brought their businesses back to the USA ..... I really know of none. Also pls list the source from which this info was gathered. Thx
@hft ---- I am perfectly comfortable in my own skin, i don't hate myself at all. The other racist post of yours, i choose to ignore, and flush it down the sewer where it belongs. @Ron/Kathy I do not hate the USA, it has been very good to m…
@funfor I can elaborate on my experiences in the Carib, Central & S. America, as well as a few places in the South Pacific ..... if you are interested.
@funfor It would be a bonanza for the USA business interests, but like in the 20's and 30's, it would westernize the country with its greed, division of classes, and ultimately it would again create a Cuban rich elite and suppress the peas…
@Funfor i live in the Cayman's, so wasn't a big deal, pre-COVID of course. They don't stamped your US passport and you can exchange US Dollars for Cuban money at the airports; using credit cards or US currency isn't advised. They are lovel…
