I would get ready for the bar washing with Ivory Soap and shampoo my hair with vidal sasson products and blow dry . I would carefully cleanse my face with Clinque for Men and use just a dab of M loition on my skin.

Every month I would anxiously wait for the new Playgirl to arrive at the bookstore in the nearest town, 30 miles away. I sometimes wasted gallons of gas because the magazine would arrive a day to several days late that week. The clerks didn't know me; maybe they did and they talked behind my back; I was oblivious. The hairy men in the magazine made the trips worthwhile; and I'd find a private place to jerk off while looking at the photos before I returned home. I still remember the names of my favorite models, Geoffrey Kane among them, R44.

Bernie, a college student/lifeguard at the community pool, would be coy about covering himself in the locker room all summer; then he would walk around the room fully naked on Labor Day weekend. I don't know what his true motive was; but I was extremely thankful he did. He was more endowed and much bushier than I ever imagined. All of the girls were hot for him; and I had a private show going on all weekend. I still love the name "Bernie".

I just heard Florence Henderson sing on [italic]The Mike Douglas Show[/italic]. She's got quite a set of pipes on her.

Get Sid and Marty Kroft to do it; if they could make The Osmonds TV stars, they can make this work. In all honesty, Sherwood Schwartz is a great guy but I just don't think he's cut out for variety shows. If he bitches about it, we'll just cut him a check.

Have you all heard about the controversial new TV series coming to ABC - it's called "Soap". I hear it's going to have an openly Gay character - can you believe it?

It's supposed to be even more risque than the Norman Lear TV shows (although his last big show "Hot L Baltimore" sure didn't last too long - that one was a little too over the top).
