My next door neighbour's teen son, Joel, is my new bridge partner.

Was Joel wearing his swimming trunks to the bridge game?

No, R1, Joel doesn't wear his swimming trunks everywhere.

OP, Joel appears to be becoming your confidant and fast friend. What a lovely story to read on a Saturday morning, all the way through to desire under the elms. Thanks, OP.

OP is my favorite Datalounger. I’m so happy he’s found a delightful young companion.

Beautiful story, OP. You are there as a role model on the cusp of his burgeoning manhood.

This never happened.

OP, you can't take your dog to the groomers? How old is your mother anyway, 90?

You're a quick one, R7, Commodore Oblivious.

I was just getting them all out of the way, R9.

Bonus points for "lickspittle."

Benjamin is obviously a Golden Girls fan.

So were he and André hissing at any given point? Please say yes.

Author! Author!

I think you need to find more open-minded friends, OP. “Sweetie” might be forgiven, but asking about Joel’s hourly rate cannot be.

R6 this is a continuation of a saga.

R7 You're a doink..if only the EST J'accuse!'ers were as lively as the ESTs themselves.

Keep writin', OP. WE love it!

How else are we going to keep bridge alive as a competitive sport unless we encourage young people to enjoy the game! Thank you Mr OP for standing up to these thugs and cretins. I so wish my retirement community had access to these energetic and open minded young people. I need to follow your example and scout the local pools, libraries, and workers clubs, for eager bridge partners. One question; what sort of enumeration is standard in these cases?

[quote] what sort of enumeration is standard in these cases?

Just the standard 1, 2, 3. Did you expect Roman numerals?

Could someone link the earlier chapter(s?) in this tender coming-of-age/chickenhawk story?

I wish DL had tags so I could follow the narratives like BILL TAYLOR’s more easily.

I'm sure the OP, who seems to be a man of the world, will understand my meaning r17

Does Mitzi have a rhinestone collar?

I imagine Mitzi to have an elegant vintage velveteen collar.

R18 - type in (or copy/paste) 'site:datalounge.com "My next door neighbour's teen son"' in your Google search bar. OP always starts his threads with that phrase.

Karl, if you are suggesting that Joel requires compensation beyond OP’s company and affection (and a fabulous trip to New York), I don’t imagine OP will be amused. Joel is not a cheap hustler.

Joel is a thoughtful, sensitive young man.

Lickspittle. I learned a new word.

I had sex with Joel and he couldn't stop laughing at the old fart he's leading on for money.

Joel says you have 'old man' odor.

R26, lies! Joel is an Archuleta-style virgin. His mussy is unspoiled.

Thank you for sharing, OP.

I hope I am not too forward in commenting that I pleasured myself while rereading your story. I climaxed at the exact moment I read about the tender kiss.

God bless.

Joel urged you to stay OP, don't you get it? He was into those old farts and was definitely up for giving them a turn or two.

Who the fuck is Joel?

Ewwww, R28.

OP, will you and Joel be watching the Eurovision Song Contest this evening? I can see the two of you sitting close on the sofa sharing your excitement and favorite entries.

So confused.

Is OP BILL TAYLOR? Is OP the nephew troll? Is OP a newbie?

Will Joel please log on and help us all out?

[quote] Who the fuck is Joel?

The OP's next door neighbour's teen son. Can't you read?

[quote]Noun: lickspittle: A fawning toady; a base sycophant.

R8, my mother adores Mitzi as much as I do and loves spending time with her.

I wouldn't say hiss, R12, but they did audibly snarl! It was horrific!

I agree, R14. I still feel faint when I think about the comment that Joel has an "hourly rate."

Karl, Joel and I are soulmates.

Most likely, R32.

R33, I am not Bill Taylor and Joel is not my nephew.

Impossible, R26. Joel is chaste.

Thank you for not acknowledging r28, OP.

OP, I hope Joel decides to also take up wrestling as another athletic pursuit. The thought of him in a nice tight singlet brings a tear to my eye. Can you suggest it to him?

Joel and I after winning the card game. I got so exited I had to go and change my adult diaper. Joel was very patient with me and the odor. I had prepared an authentic Mexican lunch for Joel, earlier that day. Anywho it a great time was bad by all. I will miss Joel. School is almost out and he’s wrapping gifts up the final volunteer hours for his senior citizen community service project.

You're welcome, R37. I despise the thought that my loving, tender, and pure relationship with Joel could be the fodder for such vulgarity.

R38, I can suggest it, but now that the water polo season is over, he will be busy with rugby.

Please excuse the typos in my previous post. I am enjoying my afternoon sherry and Mitzi is vying for my attention.

OP, I think it would be fun if you surprised Joel with a custom t-shirt for your next bridge outing. Matching "Team Mitzi" shirts would be a great jab at André and Benjamin. Joel would probably, I'm sure you agree, prefer a tank-top style.

The shirts would also be great fun for your upcoming Big Apple excursion.

Are you going to take him to Fire Island this summer OP?

Shut up, r39. You aren't OP.

I’d worry that Fire Island might be too sordid for Joel.

Thank you, R44. I think my impersonators are very jealous of my relationship with Joel.

What would an 18 year old young man do at this Fire Island? Is it a hub of arts and culture?

R44 if Mitzi heard your harsh words she would bite your face off. We don’t use profanity in this house. You’ve gotten me so upset that I’ll have to drink this entire bottle of sherry to calm down. And I need to change my adult diaper again and Joel is not here to assist my nervous arthritic hands. I’ll just have to wait, and he won’t be by until much later.

Me and Joel.

--OP

Is Joel that kid who shows up at the Topeka bars dressed as Bianca Jagger in dental braces and keeps shouting "hotsha hotsha hotsha" when trying to get older gentlemen to buy him drinks? Butt's a bit saggy for his age?

I didn't think h/she looked Nicaraguan.

I also don't believe the "chaste" shit, either. Just because OP's prostate surgery left him limp it doesn't mean that Joel doesn't take on those closeted GOP state legislators.

I get the sense - I know it hasn't occurred to anyone else yet - that the OP may be coloring the situation a bit, removing the lavender and pink and adding a little blue and yellow for camouflage.

Yesterday, sweet Joel asked me if it was okay if he called my Grandpa. Joel never knew either of his grandfathers. They both died before he was born. He worried that Mitzi might not like him calling me grandpa. Mitzi might believe it to be a little too familiar. I told him that perhaps he was correct. But he could call me abuelo, instead. Mitzi doesn’t understand Spanish so she won’t know. It will be our little secret. Sweet Joel is corrupting me. I’m keeping secrets from Mitzi. Oh dear! I need another bottle of sherry and a fresh adult diaper.

These fake OPs are pathetic and unfunny.

Says the person who asked if Joel wore his swim suit to the bridge game,

I know R51....the fakes can’t match the real OP’s elegant and poetic writing style.

I practically feel Joel warm skin, his scent, his breath, his aching longing.... when reading of the unfolding relationship between the OP and Joel.

Yap! Yap yap yap! Yap yap!

(Translated: this young buck is obviously planning to rob and kill you!)

r52, I asked about "swimming trunks," asshole. Not "swim suit."

You're an illiterate.

So, OP, is Joel a good bridge player? That's not an easy game to learn.

OP, I’m suggesting the wrestling an a nice counterpoint to the team pursuits rugby enovles. A Mano a Mano sport, like wrestling allows young Joel to also build up his focus on an opponents strength.

I think it’s unlikely that Joel has had much experience with bridge as it does not seem especially popular with today’s youth who, after all, have many alternative forms of entertainment. Perhaps there is some kind of online way to play bridge.

I must say I don’t think I’d be very good these days, wanting every hand to be “no trump.”

Here's an old photo of dearest Mitzi, as a young pup.

Karl here, feeling quite misunderstood. An attractive bridge partner (for hire) is a hot commodity in my part of the world. Their bridge skills can often be rudimentary-- it's the shock and awe of a fresh face around the table that often stuns a more astute player into making schoolboy mistakes. I'm sure this is the reason for the hisses in the first place. We like to tip our bridge guests; I was simply asking the OP's opinion on a percentage.

Proud belligerent pervert @R55 trunks = men’s swimsuits or swimwear. And I do apologize for interrupting your fantasies about 70 yr old men romancing barely legal teenagers.
