Phaedrus

No, you need to get to 1999 and then go on vacation for a week just to annoy him :) In the meantime, here is a picture of a tomato.

I like Malika because she's highly entertaining. And she posts some utterly random stuff at times (the guy on a skateboard humping the air was a new level of randomness...)

Trains? Then this is inevitable... Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MLp7YNTznE

Happy birthday, Jazy!

I'd imagine you'd have to ask the ladies there. It'd probably depend on the individual...

Hope you had a great birthday, Christine!

Sunday Morning? No, I don't like Sunday mornings, quite often. Because of... Misfits - Saturday Night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XobHupqgNu4

Coming late to this party... but no, I don't think you're paranoid or being unreasonable. What's out there online is there forever and once it's posted, you've lost control of it. And if it is paranoid... well, please move over and make some room in the asylum, 'cos I think there's going to be a lot of us trying to squeeze in there with you!

True. Glad to hear you've been enjoying yourself... :) As has been said already - head over to the Ottawa reco section, read around, and see if you like the sound of what you're reading about. In general... have you considered seeing a MA? That was how I started out dipping my toes into the ocean of fun that awaits, and I found it worked very well for me. And we have quite a few very good ones around. As far as trust goes, I've never had any issues with trusting anyone I've met through CERB. People here understand discretion, if that's what you're worried about. Bear in mind also that the lady you're seeing is inevitably taking a far bigger risk than you are when arranging a meeting (Note: this is a whole other thread that flares up on occasion, and I don't want to kick if off here, but it needs to be said) And when did the media last let tedious things like facts get in the way of a good scare-story? I'm not going to pretend that STIs aren't an issue - they are, of course, and it's a serious issue, and so responsible people (which is pretty much all of them here) will take it seriously. The ladies here care about their own health and also don't want to catch things, and everyone I've seen has been absolutely scrupulous about playing it safe. Bear in mind that anyone you meet through this forum is a professional, not some drunk girl in a bar. Having said all that... you're probably not going to enjoy yourself if you meet someone and spend the entire encounter worrying about it. And that would perhaps be another reason to start out by seeing MAs - the worst thing you can catch during a massage is flu, and you can get that anywhere. I wouldn't say that. It sounds like you've come to the right place. And Welcome! I hope you'll find this place fun as well as useful. Remember, we were all clueless once :) And this forum is remarkable in its ability to be kind and supportive, as opposed to the relentless negativity you can find elsewhere. The only problem you're likely to have here is being spoilt for choice when it comes to finding a beautiful woman...

Top-up cards, paid for with cash (or maybe just hidden in the middle of a long list of groceries).

Um.... I fear I may be somewhat disadvantaged in the cannon department :) But seriously... great idea, and I'd totally be up for it, but I suspect it'd be a *huge* amount of work for the mods to put in. Maybe one to put on the "When CERB wins the lottery and can afford its own team of developers" list...

On the subject of monkeys... The Dandy Warhols did an album called 'Welcome to the Monkey House'. This is probably my favourite track of that. The Dandy Warhols - You Were The Last High

Did you pay extra for that?

Castle has awesome taste in music. And boobies. And much else besides :)

Malika, you're fooling nobody by calling yourself Dave. Except Castle, apparently :)

You say that like it's a bad thing ;) :icon_evil: Although I hope you like doing it on $10 yoga mats, 'cos that's about all I'd be able to afford to keep up with you... :)

I wish mine did this.

So, I've just upgraded Firefox to FF8... and since then, gmail has been utterly stuffed. The basic html interface is OK, but anything other than that fails completely - in particular I can't see received messages as the thread-view page fails completely (and I haven't even got as far as replying via the normal interface yet). Anyone else seen this, or is it just me?

It's probably a good thing your lady of choice isn't into having sex in cars...

Er... have you seen a doctor recently?

So... Ottawa-base CERBites road-trip, anyone?
