Masculine Ted in Atlanta - using Todd Sharpe's pictures ass from NYC

[Guest NYCBottom4men]

Hey guys. Beware of Ted in Atlanta. He is using my pictures of my big beautiful creamy ass on his website. It just isnt him. I know that imitation is the best form of flattery but I wouldnt want anyone to be dissappointed.

Now this is the kind of indirect (yet totally upfront) self-promotion that gets no complaints from me!

 

Unlike the stealth campaigns of other enterprising escorts, Todd's post is actually about a REAL problem that deserves heeding from the consumer. That it happens to draw attention to Todd (and his big, creamy assets) is merely secondary.

[Bilbo]

Yes, Skeptic, however the little #&*% posted this topic on all three of the boards. Under masseurs, which he is evidently not. Under this one, which should be more theoretical, it seems to me. And under the Deli where it belongs.

[Guest RO]

Now, Bilbo, the young man is simply trying to make a point. If you've seen the pics of which Todd is concerned, you'll note it's a point very much worth making. Baby's got backs!!! He could sit on my face any day . . . just increase my tab every hour until I get tired, Todd.

[Guest Skeptic]

Gentlemen, allow me to agree (and quibble somewhat) with your well-taken remarks.

 

I agree, Bilbo, with the distinction you make regarding the proper usage the two main 'conferences' on the board. But as a practical matter, isn't it ALL JUST DISH--whether served up in the Lounge or the Deli? Looking at the contents of each, how can one discern any abiding difference between them? Why can't it all be free-form? That's the way we think, and the way most of us talk. (Just wait till Regina gets back, and you'll see what I mean.)

 

RO, I'm afraid I can't share your rapture over the purloined photos. I was expecting such callipygean splendor as, say, the 19-y.o. Vinnie Marino once offered the ravenous, slavering eye. But all I got were some pleasant quasi-profiles of a reasonably youthful butt.

 

Which is NOT to say, however, that Todd doesn't have a perfect right to cry foul when some lowlife tries to do the sort of thing the great Steve Teron (a runner-up for Escort of the Year in these parts) has been doing, with impunity, for years. Let the other guy post his own buttshots!

 

But Bilbo's mention of the Masseur conference reminds me of that dust-lap last week, when the masseur from Virginia protested vigorously at being reviewed among a bunch of common tarts. Did he get justice? Was he allowed to regain his chosen self-description? Is he suing?

[Bilbo]

I don't expect us to maintain the differences rigidly (so to speak). But there are times when one is in one mood and times when one is in another. One likes to think that one could be allowed to tune in that for which he is in the mood without having to search the whole site for it. It's a little like hyjacking a thread. (Actually, I love it when we hyjack a thread. In fact, that is almost the only reason for a thread to go over 20 messages long, with the exception that I am totally enjoying the thread on past Gaiety dancers no matter how long it gets and it only organically makes sense as one superthread.)

However, if we are going to go ahead in our quasiJoyceian way, and if that makes us assume that we are all going to read all the new things each day (which I generally do), does that mean that we have to see the topknot of a thread three or four times? Even though I do not reread it unless there is an answer to it, it does get my old newspaperman (for six years I was a theater reviewer, ending around 6 - 8 years ago) terseness itchy. And as a sometime poet (love to compose sonnets) I hate to see words repeated for other than dramatic effect. And as an actor I hate to see dramatic effects repeated with enlarging their effect on an audience. (Did you know about the rule of three effect in comedy?)

A related question, Skeptic, and one I think that you would welcome, is - Are Hoo and DaddyIT going to eliminate such obvious self promotion in these sections once the classifieds get going?

[Guest Skeptic]

I agree that being forced, each & every time, to scroll past the full array of postings in any given thread is a big bore. I just figured there was some command I'd never bothered to learn that cut to the chase for you. There probably is, & we should find out how to use it.

 

Revisiting Todd's original complaint (forced to revisit it!), it occurred to me that the problem could have been a lot worse. What if he'd had to report that 'Nelly Ted in Hotlanta' was using his pictures?

 

No, don't know that comedic rule. Please tell all.

 

But which sort of self-promo were you referring to (that H or Daddy might finally squelch)? Escort fanfares or our exchanges?

[HooBoy]

LAST EDITED ON May-03-00 AT 00:41AM (EST)[p]H or Daddy do not squelch posts.

 

Otherwise, I would have personally cut you off at the balls long ago.

as heard over the garden fence..."Mary did you hear what gertrude did the other day after bridge?"

[Bilbo]

Speaking only for myself, it would seem to me, IMHO - If the proprietors are going to get a classifieds section going, and given the tendency to post anything anywhere, why would anyone pay for a classified if they can do the same thing on another section of the board for free? While I am proud of Hoo and Daddy for the uncensored approach they take here, I am Scotts (read - Cheaper than Jews, with your money as well as their own) that would certainly tempt me to start a little censoring.

Watch one of your favorite comedies with a critical eye. See the jokes we might refer to as running gags? The first time it is done, it surprises us and is, hopefully, funny. The second time we see it coming and it is a groaner. The third time we can't believe we fell for the same thing and it is funny again. The fourth and consecutive times, it is merely an irritation.

Matt, is your point that we are gossiping like biddy hens, or does your joke have a punch line we are waiting for?

[Guest Matt In Vancouver]

Take my post however you want to take it.

Are you calling me an irritation? I hope not: (

I just see you two having fun and want to join in, I feel like that kid at the playground that desperatly wants to join in on the (insert game of choice here...my preference would be something with lots of contact: ), but has to stand on the sidelines, waiting for acceptance, because his dad is the principal.

Ok where the fuck am I going with this? Let me play too, just because I'm from the other side of the fence so to speak, doesn't mean I'm always on the make. Do I need to create an alias in order to be accepted as one of the gang?? ok enough of my whining.

And I've actaully, despite my bette judgement, grown to like Skeptic, interesting, intelligent, thought provoking, emotion inducing, and sort of scary: 0 all the things that make a person interesting.

Bilbo, I still don't have a make on you, your posts kinda throw me off sometimes, kind of wierd random tangents. But overall the raport you have on here, good.

Now that I've complimented you both can I join your group? I can pretend to be someone else? How about Bigoldaddyodanorth? makes me sound like a lumberjack!! woohoo. something about lumberjacks. woof

on and on and on... he never stops.

 

 

HIRE ME! (shmeless plug)

ok now I've gone and ruined it haven't I? shit... learn to stop when your ahead:)

ok later boys.

Matt

[Guest ecb]

This is a very serious case of a purloined

"ass".

[Guest Matt In Vancouver]

am I the stolen ass or are we refering back to the original topic? try as we might someone has to go and ruin the fun by going back to the topic.

: )

unless you were calling me an ass then well... ok but I didn't steal it from anyone, I worked hard on this by myself.

STOP!

 

Stop, please all of you. I have no idea what this thread is about anymore, I don't care, and I'm sick of it rising to the top. I keep thinking that there is some new info in this board and there is just this drivel. Please stop.

[Boston Guy]

Thank you! (And a suggestion)

 

Thank you, Paul! I agree completely.

 

I've always seen this Message Center as a place to exchange information about escorts and subjects relating to escorts. That's why I come here.

 

I enjoy a joke as much as the next guy, but there's a difference between a joke that's fun to read and meaningless banter.

 

Bilbo -- who seems to be quite a nice guy -- has posted several times asking folks to post messages to the right forum. And, while there seems to be a lot of overlap in the first two forums, as long as they both exist I can see his point and tend to agree with him.

 

But yesterday or the day before he posted on a thread explaining how much he liked it when a thread is hijacked and how he saw that as the only reason for most threads getting longer.

 

Well, I'd like to suggest that all of these things are related.

 

Certainly there seems to be a whole group of people who like to come here and banter with the others. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that and it's good that it can happen.

 

But there is seemingly also another contingent of us here who come here for the give and take of information. And, for us, postings that are off-topic force us to spend time looking at everything in order to figure out what we want to read.

 

The whole reason for having threads, after all, is to eliminate that very problem: in theory, we should be able to log in, look at the updated threads, read the ones we want and then mark the whole forum as read. Right now, that's pretty much impossible because people keep hijacking threads and posting remarks that have nothing at all to do with the original thread, even remotely -- which I think is rude and inconsiderate to the original poster, but I seem to be more of a stick-in-the-mud about it than most others so maybe I'm the one out of sync.

 

But I offer a suggestion. Why not have a few on-going threads labeled something "Todays chat" or something, where people could just post anything they wanted on any subject without restriction. They'd be a perfect place to get a kind of conversation going and we could then try to keep the other threads more on-point. With something like this, perhaps we could better satisfy both groups?
