Bud Light Nonsense
I'm still waiting for that one TRUE MAN who will confidently say, "I drink Bud Light because I like the taste, and I am comfortable enough with my own sexuality that I don't really care if an LBGTQ likes it too."
It's not like one is signalling that they are LGBTQ, support LGBTQ, or even like LGBTQ's; Bud Light just tastes good! Totally asinine in my opinion to boycott Bud Light just because they were trying to reach out to a particular market segment in an attempt to grow their business (which every corporation has a fiduciary duty to do).
99.9% of the restaurants in the U.S. have no problem serving LGBTQ. Should we refrain from going out to eat just because there might be a LGBTQ there also, or one sat in your chair sometime that day, or God forbid!, an LGBTQ works in the kitchen and is preparing your food?
I just don't get it except for yet another reason to hate somebody else, or worse, hate an entire group of people. Especially for those people in our forum, who enjoy ourselves on the fringes of society's norms. When will all of us be openly and aggressively ostracized because we don't view sex like the norm?
It appears to me that there are far more people intimidated by LGBTQ than there are LGBTQ! I didn't think real men could be intimidated like that!
From now on, when someone asks be if I would like them to bring wine or champagne to the session I am just going to ask them to bring a 6-pack of Bud Light! That way I know I will be having a great time with a real man! A man that can not be intimidated by something as simple as a beer commercial!

Who would you pick . . .
. . . for president if neither DJT or Biden were running in 2024?
See if you can articulate your thoughts without even mentioning either one of the above!
I am a hard-core life-long Republican (now an Indie) and registered voter in Florida, but I am not going to vote for DeSantis even if he is the nominee. He us just too far off-the-hook!
Sadly, almost every politician out there has become an extremist! From either party!
Only one stands out in my mind but there isn't a chance in hell that they will run - Condoleezza Rice, PhD! Unfortunately, her time under GWB as both National Security Advisor and Secretary of State probably put such a sour taste in her mouth (WMD's - where?) she probably wouldn't even consider becoming a public figure again. She is brilliant though! And she is a woman! And she is of color! A Democrat prior to 1982 when she switched to the Republican Party.
I say we draft her anyway!

All things considered . . .
HX really is the best site! Sure, we have our share of drama but that is the nature of anonymous blogging. And it seems we have more than our share of "lurkers" who are trying to get by on the cheap and not spend any $$ but still make contact with a person that really excites them.
GET ON BOARD! If you can't afford to keep mail privileges then this is probably not the site for you - you are simply "database detritus" getting in the way of serious site users and using site resources that cost $$ to maintain.
MAKE AN INVESTMENT! For the cost of a couple of drinks each month you can become a major player on one of the most revered sites out there. Think about it; sit in the bar and down a couple of drinks while watching the latest replay of a sporting event (boring), or re-direct that effort to being primed and ready to make contact with someone that will leave you with lasting memories! Just think about that the next time you walk into a bar, alone, and hoping (probably against all odds), and order that drink!
SUPPORT HX! Be an active participant! Get out of quarantine then maintain mail privileges. We would love to hear from you, make contact, and enjoy incredible times that leave lasting memories!

Comic Con Traffic!
Remind me to never drive downtown during Comic Con again. WHAT A FUCKING MESS! Between the massive crowd (which was generally behaved) and the homeless (which are NOT generally behaved) it was not pretty! Major streets were like parking lots! The only saving grace was sitting in the car, going nowhere fast, and watching people in various costumes walk by. Spiderman looked pretty hot in that tight outfit!

Trump Confesses - Again!
In an interview with MSNBC�s Lawrence O�Donnell.
And found this comment on Yahoo News about it:
Trump loves to confess. He makes the best confessions. His confessions are perfect. No one in the history of the world has confessed as beautifully as he has. His confessions are the likes of which the world has never seen. Supporters in the streets come up to him, with tears in their eyes and say "Sir, that was the best confession I ever heard."
It was a PERFECT comment!
DJT always thinks he is the smartest guy in the room! His prior success in bullying local officials in New York has led him to believe that he can talk his way out of anything. His constant cries of "I'm innocent - I didn't do anything wrong!" are nothing more than an attempt to instill bias in the prospective jury pool. DJT is a shyster and a con-man - but I will admit, he is a damned good one!
I will also admit that he did accomplish some things while in office but he also failed in a lot of things that he boldly said he would "fix" (Obama care, the wall, etc.). However, the collateral damage he has done to the entire country, if not the world, is staggering. His continued stroking the flames of his cult has turned Americans against each other. Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela; they don't have go to war with us to destroy us, they can just sit back and watch us destroy ourselves from within.

Universal Hot/Crazy Matrix
Since we have been discussing how to treat certain activities like a business, I thought this clip from TikTok is a great analytical approach to making value decisions regarding women.

My Way Or The Highway (MWOTH)
What I find rather sobering is when I see something that is supposed to be a joke to be not that funny because it hits home on a visceral level. For me, it is about the effects of intolerance and extremism, and the attached clip pretty much sums it up.
Even though it is obviously a joke, it made me focus on how much divisiveness there is in the world right now, and it is absolutely sickening. It's like people are going way out of their way to hate!
So enjoy the joke, but ask yourself if it truly reflects the world we live in today.

Time for a little levity
A man wrote a letter to a small hotel he planned to visit on his vacation:
"I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?"
An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who said, "I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls. I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here, too."

Communication Perceptions
I am pretty quick to remind people that it doesn't matter what you say, or even mean to say - it's how it is perceived that counts. Basic communication failures probably account for over 50% of the "he said - she said" types of conflicts we see here. In an effort to not sound like a broken record I need to find different ways of getting the point across, so I think the following joke might help!
This woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day. One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer. As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, "You know what? You have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side... You know what?"
"What dear," she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.
"I think you're bad luck....."

Powers of Obeservation
I will apologize in advance if the following joke assaults anyone's sensitivities, but it is so damn funny (read: belly laugh) I couldn't resist:
An autopsy professor was giving an introductory lecture to a class of students. Standing over a corpse, he addressed the class. 'There are two things you need to make a career in medical forensics. First, you must have no fear.' Having said that, he shoved a finger up the corpse's anus, withdrew it, then licked it. 'Now you must do the same,' he told the class.
After a couple of minutes of uneasy silence, the class did as instructed.
'Second,' the professor continued, 'you must have an acute sense of observation. For instance, how many of you noticed that I put my middle finger up this man's anus, but licked my index finger?'

It all makes sense now! [Placeholder for emoji of stirring the pot?]
