Miserable users ????

[johnny]

I guess in the long run we should take it as a complement. You know .. As long as there talking. Some one took the time.
And being with stowe1 I do think would be fun. The stories I bet he could tell. But I do wish Tanner was on the list.
Flashing on Gilligans island.Stowe as Mrs. Howell Me as Ginger.lol Tanner as our houseboy.

Wow. . .

This was so interesting. . . . ???? I do hope the system is not being "hacked", however; and if it has been, I hope management is double-checking the LOCKS!

As to the individuals named - Well, yes, Stowe - you are an "old curmudgeon", but. . . so are MANY of us!!! What's more, while you and I have had our occasional differences in the past, as I have come to know you better, I've discovered that you have so much integrity; possess a fine critical and aesthetic intelligence, which means a great deal to the forum; and ALSO (despite your 'curmudgeonliness'!) have such a kind, caring, and TENDER side, as well. So, for you to be put on the "miserable" list is a gratuitous insult, which I refuse to accept!

And, Johnny. . . as our friend Stowe has said, and others have echoed. . . you're such a complete sweetheart, I can't even fathom why someone would slander you, in this fashion.

The Internet is SUCH a brutal place, sometimes ~ a place where outliers, and outcasts, and miscreants, feel that they can impose their judgements ABOUT others, UPON others, without fear of consequence. . . and it's the Devil's own work, truly.

All I can say is, if you two are "miserable users", I would be glad to be called and counted one, also; and I'd rather be a "miserable user" than any OTHER KIND - because you are both fine and wondrous gentlemen, and it is a privilege always, to converse with you, here. Your contributions to the board, and the wonderful network of friendship that has evolved here, are immeasurable.

Love,
"A" XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Thank You Ambi..

Well thank you, johnny, I think we definitely would have a good time. I'm sure we'd both have some very "interesting" stories to tell - mine based on my 14 yr coming out saga while married with children, as well as my post-coming out experiences (as my best friend Joe always says, "Mary, you didn't just come out the closet door, you knocked it off its hinges."); and yours being based on your reign as the prettiest of all the pretties in the capital of the Western gay U.S.A., 'Frisco.

However, I think we'd need at least one other houseboy; so I'm picking a macho stud - Drake.

And I can't believe in your flashing on Gilligan's you tagged me as Mrs. Howell. Why you might ask yourself? Because no matter what group of friends and I play that type of game with movies or tv shows, they always pick me as Mrs. Howell. And just so you know I'm always picked as Sophia on The Golden Girls, and Ouiser in Steel Magnolias.

I might be miserable but I do it in style - lol !!!!

Actually, I think that instead of emulating TV shows from the past like Gilligan's Island or The Golden Girls, we should go into production with a brand new program and call it "Miserable Men", starring Frisco Johnny as a wacky San Francisco hairdresser and his sidekick Pittsburgh Stowie, sensible but with a bit of a wild side. And may I suggest a recurring character, "Miserable Mikey" a city slicker with a penchant for finding "believably straight" guys to join in on the wacky adventures.

I believe that Ertas has some background in television production, so perhaps he could produce the show and pitch it to HERE-TV, who I heard has an opening in their schedule. lol

Some thoughts on your observations, ambi -

So, for you to be put on the "miserable" list is a gratuitous insult, which I refuse to accept!

You are much too generous with your nice words, ambi! Having said that, I will own up to having integrity - I was raised that way and educated to realize its importance. As to my intellectual capabilities, I have the Jesuits to thank for it was they who took the raw material God implanted and molded it as only they can, albeit with a little help from Aristotle and the great Aquinas. As to its meaning a great deal to the forum, I doubt that. I express my thoughts in a blunt, no bullshit style which many people, who prefer obfuscating bullshit, don't like. And then there is the problem of people not being able or wanting to take the time to parse sentences to understand the point I'm trying to make. As to kind, caring, and TENDER - that's for others to judge. I think few people are completely devoid of those attributes, but whatever I have of them I was raised not to talk about the good you do.

And, Johnny. . . as our friend Stowe has said, and others have echoed. . . you're such a complete sweetheart, I can't even fathom why someone would slander you, in this fashion.

I know, ambi, right!! That's why I was so shocked when johnny started the thread. As I've said previously even when johnny is being critical of something about the site or a scene, he's too nice ever to be considered "miserable"!!

The Internet is SUCH a brutal place, sometimes ~ a place where outliers, and outcasts, and miscreants, feel that they can impose their judgements ABOUT others, UPON others, without fear of consequence. . . and it's the Devil's own work, truly.

I love this idea, mikey. But the storyline would have to be adjusted a bit so the show would film in New York City.

How about Stowie met Johnny years ago when he was on a business trip to SF while still in the closet and johnny showed him gay SF. Over the years their friendship grew even though they lived in their respective cities. Johnny, although wacky in his personal life, is the top stylist at his salon which is part of the best hair salon company in the country with salons in SF, Chicago, DC, and NYC where it is headquartered. The CEO of johnny's salon business tells johnny he has to move to NYC to take a higher position in the company, but that means less time doing hair. Johnny is miserable because he doesn't want to do this, but he has no choice. It's either this or he gets canned.

He is commiserating with Stowie on the phone about this and during the telecon fire breaks out in stowie's building and he loses everything. So johnny suggest to stowie that he move to NYC as well since stowie is retired and well off. Stowie has a friend in NYC whom he met years ago under similar circumstances as he did johnny. Mikey is miserable because he hates his job but he is getting close to retirement and is looking forward to the next chapter in his life. Johnny doesn't know mikey directly just what stowie has told him, but he likes mikey's nickname "believably straight" because he knows all the stories stowie has told him about the believably straight guys mikey has fixed him up with over the years. And johnny likes believably straight as well.

So johnny and stowie end up in NYC joining mikey who lives in his rent controlled building in Brooklyn which he will never give up. Johnny, wacky as ever, ends up in Queens because he thinks that's where they all live and he'd fit in perfectly; and stowie takes a short term rental in mid-town while he decided where he wants to live permanently.


Long winded story to get them all in NYC, but mikey you know me. I'll only do it if it films in the city I love most.

Love the choice of network by the way; but we better not let them find out we are all members of Broke Straight Boys or they'll never even listen to our pitch - lol !!!

I like the concept Stowe, but I think we need a screen writer to tighten up the plot a bit. It's a work in progress. lol

Here are some possible logos for the show.

It's definitely a work in progress, but with our creative minds, I think we have a hit for the fall of 2016. But now we have to work on the casting as to who plays our roles. And can Mark give us some contact info to get Jimmy Johnson to play a cameo as he did in DTLA????? lololol

Hey Guy's
I love all your ideas and posts. But those Girls wore me out today. Nine hours of standing and trying to be charming was just a bit much.
So I will have to get back to you all tomorrow.The one thing I am sure of is Peter can be the slutty neighbor.
That would be a no brainier. Right now a drink and food are all I want. Saturday night yippee..Such is life in the Gayest City in the World.
Love you all but just need to take off these fucking shoes.
