Does anybody recall a TV series called "Van der Valk"?
First aired in 1972, "Van der Valk" was a British TV show about Amsterdam, Holland's top detective, Commisaris Piet Van der Valk. On this show, Van der Valk was known for his ability to break difficult cases by pursuing his famous hunches.
What's a shame nowadays is that we don't seem to have a real-life Piet Van der Valk. Otherwise, he would be able to answer the call for help from the Prime Minister of Aruba, which is a Dutch protectorate.
The call for help of which I am referring to involves the disappearance in Aruba of Natalee Holloway, an American tourist girl who has been missing for nearly a month now. She was last seen by her friends on the night before her return flight home.
So far, the Aruban authorities have not seemed to be making much progress with this case. Van der Valk could probably solve it in just one episode.

Differences between regional chat rooms

Earlier this week, I returned from an eleven day road trip, all the way from my location in the Philadelphia suburbs to a small town in Eastern Kansas, all to attend a family wedding.
All throughout my trip, I went online to come to this site whenever I could, thanks to the growing ease of wireless internet access and my notebook computer.
So, being that I was passing through the lower Midwest, I decided to check out their chat room. I had already noticed how much nicer and more polite Midwest people seemed to be than many of those whom I have met back East. The chat room also seemed to reflect this. Over a period of several nights, I just did not seem to see the type of negativity like I see in the Philly room, coming from the regular chatters that I took notice of at least. Granted, there seemed to be always less people chatting in the lower Midwest room than what I recall seeing often in the Philly area room, but of the ones I got to know, albeit briefly, there just never seemed to be anybody with much of an edgy attitude.
Okay, perhaps somebody reading this might now say, "Well, if he likes this region so much, maybe he should move there!"
Sure, I could consider that. Moving there would be easier than just asking people on the East Coast to try chilling out more, I suppose. Or would it?
Does anybody here agree with what I am thinking? Or is it just my "grass always being greener on the other side" sentiment at work again here?

A newly reported Viagra side effect

Here's a quote from the Associated Press today:
WASHINGTON -- Federal health officials are examining rare reports of blindness among some men using the impotence drugs Viagra and Cialis, a disclosure that comes at a time when the drug industry can ill afford negative publicity about another class of blockbuster medicines.
I find this report to be rather ironic. Didn't mothers once try to warn their pubescent sons about how masturbation would cause blindness back in the day? So I guess the modern variation will now turn out to be mature women warning their adult sons against taking anti-impotence drugs.
I can see it now - a mother somewhere out there will be saying, "Stay clear of that Viagra, my dear . Get a cock ring like your father used to wear for me instead."

There was once a time in human history when only the ruling classes and clergy were literate. That was over a millennium ago.
Now, here in the age of computers, technology, and the internet, I am sorry to say that not all that much progress has been made, apparently. This is an opinion of mine based upon taking notice of the way that so many other people write.
Fellow bloggers, before you embarrass yourselves with your public displays of poorly written prose and sometimes nearly incomprehensible posts here, I would strongly suggest that you check it for spelling and grammar prior to posting it.
The way I achieve this is by utilizing Microsoft Word. First, I write the entire post in the space for adding the post. Then I copy and paste it into a newly opened Microsoft Word document. Then I use the spelling and grammar check feature. After everything looks good, I paste the post back into the space for submittal.
It's rather simple, really. Merriam-Webster has a free online dictionary, too. Use Google to find it.
If you are not familiar with copying and pasting, you should look into the two methods of doing it (keyboard and mouse.) It can be so useful in many different ways.

What is the deal with these swinger couple husbands?!?

Once again, I feel like I've been jerked around by a couple on this site. They are supposedly the sort of couple seeking MFM. I've been dealing with them off and on via e-mail for two years now, and it's the husband who makes all of the arrangements.
First, he seemed okay when I decided to e-mail him after he made a chat room announcement about seeking a M for the evening. I made it clear about who I was, sent my pics, etc. Then he said things were a go in his reply. Then he e-mailed again to ask me if I was another dude I don't even know of. I replied back to set him straight. Then he replied back about how he was confused, and that he wanted this other guy. I wrote back again to question him on this, and his reply accused me of "having attitude". I apologised, and as soon as I thought we would be able to arrange something with myself, the other dude, and the wife, with him watching and taking video, he writes to me again to say the whole thing is called off.
That's when I just said to myself, "Okay, maybe later." However, just now I saw him back in the chat room trying to convince whatever guy he could to go look for his wife in a bar he specifically named for the purposes of picking her up. "Whatever!" I said to myself when I saw that nonsense.
Why is it that some of these husbands say that they want to watch their wives do a guy like me, but that they also seem to be overzealous control freak assholes at the same time?

This site DOES NOT suck

I'm tired of seeing guys whine about this site. I've been on here for years, and from the way I see things, it's not this site which is the problem, just certain people. I'm talking about those with the insincere/fake profiles, lack of manners, etc.
For those of you who still say this site sucks, perhaps it's actually your profile which sucks. Did you ever think of that? Since when did anybody ever tell you that creating a profile on this site will guarantee that you'll get to have sex? It really cracks me up when I see that those whom are bitching about this site are also the ones who have profiles which having nothing substantive written within and are also without pics.
Your profile is like a store product on the shelf. If it is packaged and marketed in a haphazard fashion, would you blame the store when nobody buys it?

A cowardly "sour grapes" attack message

Today, I received a message from a 33-year-old guy who apparently took issue with how my profile states that I don't like it when guys like him contact me because they want to suck my cock. Here is what he wrote:
--------------------------------------------------
Date: Apr 14, 2005 4:45 AM EDT
Subject: Amazing.....
You are going to act like you are too good for "certain" people for sex. And yet, you are actually stupid enough to advertise that you have sex with women who are 3 times your size!???????
I agree you should scold any man dumbenough to email your dried up pasty looking self. But at least be smart enough not to let it be known you are into 300 lbs women who LOOK like a man. I bet you do not get any attractive women interested in you.
ps,..there is no way she spent 10 hours in bed with you UNLESS you had room service.
--------------------------------------------------
I wanted to promptly reply to this guy, but he blocked me from sending any messages. How brave of him to attack me and run like that! So now, in this public forum, I will post the reply that I would have otherwise privately sent to this coward. Here it is:
--------------------------------------------------
Dear cowardly gay man cocksucker,
It's been so long since I've received a "sour grapes" message like yours. How refreshing! Yours is just another one of the "Boo hoo, I'll show him" messages I used to get on this site about two years ago.
If you meant in your swipe at me that I think that "certain" people can't have sex with me, namely gay men like you, it's only because I'm straight, and unapologetic for it too. I was born to breed.
I reworded my profile to how you read it to deter the torrent of gay men on this site who were contacting me after drooling over my cock pics. Having a stubbly whiskered, square jaw near my cock is not what I like, so that's what I felt that I had to do.
What I do like is women, of all types and sizes. Many of them on this site seem to like my "dried up pasty looking self" too, since I currently have 397 people in my network. That number is comprised of women and MF couples. Are they all possibly unattractive to you and three times my size? Did you notice hot4cat's testimonial for me, genius? She's 5'2", size 0, and was offered a spot on a pro football cheerleading squad two years ago, which her husband pressured her to decline.
Your vitriol seems fixated on one girl's testimonial. If you don't believe what she wrote about the 10 hours, you could try telling her about it yourself, unless you've already done so.
--------------------------------------------------
I think I feel a bit calmer now.

Online chicanery by gay men

Have any of you men here received messages from individuals whom you suspect are actually gay men masquerading as women? I certainly have, and I'm not talking about transvestites and transsexuals, either. (That's a whole other story, I'm sorry to say.) For me, it typically begins with a message from a person whose gender is listed as female on their profile with no pics attached neither to the message nor on the profile itself. The message usually contains nothing but some mindless ramblings about how that person loves your cock, wants to suck it, etc., and not much else. Another variation on this ruse is when a man contacts me and tells me about how his "wife" wants my cock.
When I reply back to such a message to ask about pics, I usually get the whole bullshit "I don't have a scanner" excuse or some other cop-out.
This is yet another reason why I wish profile pics were mandatory on this site. The internet has enough fraud and deceit as it is.

Yesterday, I spent the day shopping and doing errands with a FWB (friend with benefits) whom I know from this site. We went back to her house afterwards, but only so that I could gather my things and then leave again, since I had to go to my class that evening.
Before I was able to say goodbye to her and get on my way, there was an unexpected knock on the door. My FWB went to see who was there. It turned out to be another guy whom she knows from this site. He had a huge duffel bag and backpack with him, presumably packed with many changes of his clothing. This guy said something about how he had taken the train from his area to hers and that he was having problems with own present living situation.
She had mentioned this guy to me before, particularly about how he had stayed at her house for over two weeks when she she had actually just invited him over for the weekend. My FWB also told me that she was rather glad to see him leave and did not long for his return anytime soon, if ever, again.
Although I did not say much of anything in this awkward scenario, since I felt it was not in my place to have spoken, I was feeling quite upset from it all. My FWB did not say anything either, but I wasn't too sure if she was holding anything back herself.
Since when is it polite to just show up at a friend's house with packed backs for an extended stay without even so much as asking that friend in advance? I don't care what the other circumstances might be, I just found this guy to be totally lacking any sort of consideration for my FWB by just showing up like that. She should have just told him to get back on that train to Loserville in my opinion, but I guess she will just have to deal with him however she sees fit.

Profiles with poor quality or lopsided pictures

Is it just me, or are any of you reading this also frustrated with seeing profiles which have pictures that leave much to be desired in terms of their overall quality? How many times have we all seen a profile pic like the one I have posted here, where we have to strain our necks by tilting our heads to one side in order to view it upright?
Allow me to educate those of you who are unaware, but there generally two views for pictures and documents - portrait and landscape. A landscape view is what the picture attached to this post looks like. Since the picture was taken as a portrait, it would look much better if it was displayed as a portrait though, right? If you were to assume that your pic would be adjusted from landscape to portrait when you upload it to this site for your profile, you would be sadly mistaken.
Fortunately, this issue is not so difficult to remedy. Just about any type of digital photo editing software should allow the user to rotate the frame of the image whichever way necessary to make it appear upright.
Another problem with some profile pictures that I frequently see is that they appear just too small to really appreciate. When it comes to digital cameras, it's best to learn about how to set their resolution to the maximum. Resizing the pictures smaller later will not hurt their clarity or composition, but the opposite is a different story. Thumbnail-sized pictures look unfocused and blocky when they are blown up.

How to spot a fake profile on this site

Although I would say the numbers have been cut down significantly over time, there are still female profiles on this site which I consider insincere or fake. What I mean when I say this is that the people who created them are ones whom never intend to actually meet AND are using their profile as a means of directing respondents towards some type of web-based commercial enterprise, like a paysite for porn pics or live webcams which charge by the minute.
First, almost always, the profile will be standard. It will almost always have just one pic on it too, which will commonly show a rather attractive female. Sometimes, the pic will look as if it was taken by a professional photographer. The female's age will typically be quite young, sometimes just 18. It will not be very verbose at all, but just with minimal details. The profile will also be set up and written in such a way to suggest that the female is not really that picky at all about whom she is seeking. What really makes me laugh is when she writes about how she is into guys over 50 or 60 while she is just 18 herself. The most telling thing is how she will actually instruct guys to include their e-mail addresses, outside of this site, within either their initial message or their reply. The reply she sends to this outside e-mail address will inevitably then direct the recipient towards her paysite, which is quite laughable really, since she could have just included her pics in that initial reply. Webcams can be done totally for free too, either with this site or through the IM's which are also free.
So I guess the malfeasance and treachery will continue on this site, as long as men who are both horny and gullible are around.

The Roaming Gnome on Travelocity

I've been noticing Travelocity's "roaming gnome" character for quite a long time now. He's the ceramic lawn ornament who was supposedly stolen from his owner’s front yard in North Carolina, so that he could be taken to exotic travel spots the world over.
Has anybody else noticed the subtle phallic imagery of this advertising icon? To me, this gnome looks way too much like an oversized butt plug. His voice sounds way too much like that of an aged, effeminate British pensioner too. It would have been much funnier to hear his voice being done by a more masculine actor, like Colin Farrell, Russell Crowe, or Liam Neeson.
