Lark Lewis was seriously thinking to either change his fuck buddy or at least have one more because this fucker had to be out of town at least 2 weeks every month or even more for his job but he fucked so good that LL simply could not give up his fantastic cock and did not know if his fuck buddy would allow him to have another man to fuck him as well.https://assfuckgif.com/ There were so many mother fucking hitches and hurdles imposed by the stupid socio-cultural binds and getting a new or additional fuck buddy without the scare, rather a 100% possibility of being outed was not possible. Jerry Reynosa was even more straight acting than LL, plus for a 38 years old dude, he fucked LL far better than expected with his phat cock and better than 6” length, supplemented with the bull size balls always over loaded with man cream to be transferred into LL’s bowels. Now JR being away, 19 years old gay faggot boy Lark Lewis was tossing and turning in his bed while his ass twitched and fluttered for a cock but he knew JR won’t be back before at least 3 days from today.

He thought, he would sell himself to pay for the surgery, if it could accomplish that Jerry could leave his detachable cock behind with Lark Lewis, he was missing JR so much and why not? JR was a special fucker. He did not believe much in fore play. LL would call and show up at JR’s place and strip naked and they will get to the bed and they would fuck. JR would only need time to polish his 6” long cock with some lube to fuck LL. Somehow, JR did not enjoy fucking a dry ass because it would hurt his extra phat cock while drilling LL’s tight ass cave, making his cock feel as if it was skinned brutally. At the same time, LL was no wuss, he would take all the fucking and all the man cream JR could give him every single time. It had happened many times before that LL was in a giving mood and mode but JR was away and LL had bought a dildo to slide up his ass and play a faggot bottom for someone on the cam shows or the chat room for cybersex, at some gay site. More the guys cursed LL on line, more he got satisfaction from it. Lately even these on-line plays were not helping LL much and he bought a very special dildo. It was a long thick dildo attached to a ball. He would insert the dildo in his ass and bounce around on the big ball in his bedroom until he spilled his spunk, giving him some satisfaction.

He saw on the internet, a guy was fucking himself with a homemade fucking machine with a long dildo attached to it. LL started to search his house. He knew, he had nothing in his house to make a fucking machine looking any close to the one, he saw on the internet but he was sure, he could make some apparatus to work fine and do the job. He remembered that the dildo he had with him had a hole at the bottom that could be helpful to attach it to some long object. LL looked in the closet and found a mop and sure, the dildo fit right on the end of it. Now, only if he could figure to hold this device steadily. He tried but putting the mop between the mattress and the spring box was kind of too low, to hit his ass when he dropped on his knees. He put the mop on the bed and placed couple of very heavy boxes on top of it and luckily it was not only at a perfect height but it looked decently sturdy too. God!! A big dildo attached to a mop stick, pointing towards his ass, looked beautiful. https://analsexgif.com/

Having accomplished a very nice fucking equipment, LL poured himself a tall glass of scotch on the ice to celebrate the success and get in mood. Finally he brought the lube from the bathroom to soak the rubber dildo with it. He surely needed a very greasy fucking. Now he got on his knees and elbows and backed into the dildo. The head on this dildo was very large and toughest part to get it into the ass and once it got in, it was not easy to come out. LL stuck the head in and squeezed it with his strong ass muscles. Now he was ready to back into it. Being on the perfect height, the dildo dick stabbed his ass as he lowered his body on the elbows. Now Lark could really fuck himself the best by slamming the dildo deep inside his ass. He smiled to himself, telling himself that he was a true mother fucking queer to fuck himself like that. He ground his ass on the dildo to get the deep feeling.

Lark was so happy for the success, he kept fucking his ass for a whole long time of at least an hour. Wonderful slow greasy fucking and awesome long strokes as well. The best ever dildo fucking himself was making him sweat like a pig. Best of all, he discovered that he could masturbate with either hand. What a perfection!!! He decided to go for a big finale and slammed the dildo, deep inside his guts while masturbating with both hands and playing with balls as well. https://analporngif.com/ “Oh fuck you Lark Lewis”, he spoke to himself, “You can really take it deep”. With about a dozen of these deep ass ramming, he discharged his load that made his ass and the cock convulse very hard. Now he truly felt sleepy. He pulled the equipment out of his ass, rolled over and fell asleep, still knowing the value of a long, live and very greasy cock up his ass.

I got back into horror movies in the last couple of years, and recently started watching American Horror Story on Netflix.

This is a really cool show. I am only on season one, but I am really getting into it. If you like horror, check it out.

Edward64 12-05-2020 03:32 PM

Got the Hulu deal for like $2 a month for 12 months.

Watching The Orville s2 and looking forward to catching up on a bunch of other stuff.

PilotMan 12-05-2020 07:10 PM

In finally finished Bojak.....what a show with some incredibly deep, thought provoking, hit you in the gut type of arcs, intermixed with some light stuff. It's pretty incredible how that show evolved into what it ended up being. It's one that I could see watching again. That is very rare praise for me.

I quite enjoy American Horror Story. I like the anthology premise of the show. I watched all but the last two seasons. I will say that the show never manages to capture the true horror aspect of the first season. That first episode is terrifying. The subsequent seasons have their moments, but all go off the rails at some point, some much earlier and crazier than others.

Totally agree. The show is amazing.

Edward64 12-14-2020 04:58 PM

Got the Hulu special over BF.

Watching Das Boot. Two major arcs, one in the sub and another on land where it's the Nazis vs French resistance. The former is pretty gritty and great tension, the latter is not so much but assume they have it to balance it out.

I never saw the movie, I may have to check it out.

Watching "The Wilds" on Amazon Prime. Pretty crazy show.

HBO Max is finally available on Roku. I'm excited for it primarily because my 16 month old daughter loves Elmo and I've watched the two seasons of Sesame Street available On Demand so many, many, many times.

Looking forward to watching The Ripper on Netflix. Eventually. For whatever reason, Netflix is never top of mind for me when I'm looking for things to watch. My list of things to watch is long.

thesloppy 12-17-2020 05:45 PM

I think I saw that Amazon released the first three episodes of The Expanse Season 5 so I'm looking forward to that again, though it's such a dense show I always manage to forget half the context in-between seasons.


I have also recently chewed through Doom Patrol, which I thought was pretty good & Good Lord Bird, which I enjoyed very much & Raised By Wolves which depressed the hell out of me.

I just watched the first episode of The Expanse Season 5. It was great! Really happy to have it back. Perfect timing with the current season of The Mandalorian about to wind down. I’m looking forward to digging into Doom Patrol when time permits.

thesloppy 12-17-2020 07:15 PM

Doom Patrol knows it's a C-level DC property in an MCU. It's pretty fun.

PilotMan 12-18-2020 03:22 PM

So we've been watching a pretty fair number of holiday movies in the house, as is typical for this time of year, just more since covid and recovering sick people. But yesterday we watched a couple on Netflix worth watching.

The first was El Camino Christmas, which isn't really a Christmas movie, Christmas barely plays into it at all, but it was really good. Very solid cast, good characters, laughs, pretty big plot holes, but who really cares about that here? I'd watch it again.

The next one is called Just Another Christmas, and it's a Brazilian movie, dubbed to English, so if you can' t get past that, stop right there. But as the movie goes, it's a little flimsy to start, but there are a couple plot twists that really bring the whole thing home, and it is, most certainly a Christmas movie. It's funny, heartwarming, and overall well worth the time to watch it.

RainMaker 12-18-2020 03:27 PM

The Trials of the Chicago 7 was pretty good. If you like Sorkin, you'll like this. Sasha Baron Cohen is great in it. Lot funnier than I thought the movie would be.

El Camino Christmas was fantastic.

The Christmas Chronicles is really good also. We loved that one.

Edward64 12-19-2020 07:35 AM

Watched the first 3 episodes of the latest Expanse season. A little disappointed, somewhat slow going right now but still great special effects and solid acting.

ISiddiqui 12-19-2020 12:45 PM

Flight Attendant on HBO Max was great - and it seems they are going to ‘graduate’ it from miniseries to muliple seasons. I’m interested to see how it goes.

I am interested in the response to this season of The Expanse, mostly because they’ve gone to a week to week release schedule (as they did with S2 of The Boys). This is my favorite book of the seriest they are adapting, so I’m happier it will be talked about more (as week to week series usually are). One can tell the production values are far more beefed up (and Baltimore looked a lot better than what I imagined while reading those chapters).

larrymcg421 12-19-2020 12:59 PM

Manhunt: Deadly Games was a great miniseries about the Olympic bombing. I liked it so much more than the movie from last year, particularly in how it treats Kathy Scruggs.

I watched the first episode of this season and loved it. As someone who doesn’t have the time to binge at all, I’m a big fan of the one episode a week rollout.

We enjoyed The Flight Attendant, though I don't know how you turn that into a series. It was created from a book that was not in a series. It really felt pretty finished at the end (though they did leave a hook that seems far-fatched).


We binged the 12 episode reunion of Mad About You yesterday. I am not going to tell you it was great television. If you came in watching having not watched the 90's sitcom, you would think it felt dated in style. For some reason, I really enjoyed it. Because the original show hit at a time where their lives (young couple, just married) was what we were going through, I just always felt a connection to them. The reboot sees their only kid leaving for college, which again hits home. The comedy is mostly silly, but the show still has heart. I enjoyed it much more than I probably should.

PilotMan 12-21-2020 01:26 PM

It's not on Netflix but 2016's Almost Christmas is one of my favorite holiday movies. Great cast, funny, sentimental, great storylines, family dynamics, and all around good movie. Really needs to be higher up the conversation for great family Christmas movies.

Is Mad About You on HBO Max? I was mildly interested but I remember it being on some weird channel I had never heard of.

It was originally on Spectrum. It is now on Amazon Prime, which is how I watched it.

Tiger King sucks. The Fyrefest documentary is really good

molson 12-24-2020 08:05 PM

We're going to need more information to give you a recommendation. What are you feeling like? Serious drama series? Documentary series? Silly comedy?

I've been enjoying The People v. OJ Simpson, GLOW, Narcos, and some silly travel shows.

Edit: I feel like Netflix is particularly strong in documentaries and documentary series. Abducted in Plain Sight is nutso. (And a few people I work with grew up in that area and knew of some of the people involved). The Ripper just came out. New York v. The Mafia is a bit slow, but very interesting. Tiger King has some entertaining moments, but that was strictly a multi-tasking show for me, and I was bothered by how some people seemed to view Joe Exotic as the protagonist of that story.

Lathum 12-24-2020 08:11 PM

Once y0ou got past the "holy shit people like this exist" of Tiger King it gets old.

The Ted Bundy tapes was really good also. Workin Moms if you like comedy.

The People v OJ is excellent. I would recommend it to anyone. However I caught it on the original run on FX.

Cobra Kai (season 3 in January!) and Never Have I Ever

Edward64 12-29-2020 03:47 PM

Finished watching The Purge s2. I liked how it focused on the Purge but also the after effects of it.

Normally, I can binge watch but I found myself watching maybe 1 or 2 episodes at a time. I like the Purge movies so not sure why I wasn't motivated to watch numerous episodes at one sitting.

I like the idea of a Purge. But the setting isn't like a city and everyone is a target. More like a battle royale and the willing participants get to play in a fenced off NY Central park or Alcatraz or maybe one of the Hawaiian islands.

To be fair, the Mandalorian has only had two 8-season episodes so it's a little early to declare that.

Watching Cobra Kai Season 3 and it's definitely not as good as Season 1 or 2. Kresse's Cobra Kai is way too cartoonish villians. In previous seasons you had Johnny trying to balance No Mercy with how he was treated which made the show interesting.

Same. It's one of my favorite shows ever. I never thought it lagged at all (Season 3 is arguably the best season) and Mandalorian doesn't even come close to it's quality IMO.

Oh, that's weird - I thought season 3 was its weakest season. The initial premise was good but that show never let the premise grass grow under its feet (for good and for ill*). When they discover what's going in and the "soul squad" thing - I felt that was one of the worst sections of the entire show (season 4's "new group" 1st half was probably the other weakest part).

*I think the show's desire to constantly change was both good and bad. They always swept away the plot swords of Damocles, which was nice - things were tense but only for a few episodes at most and they moved on. But it also meant that dramatically the stakes weren't as high, which I guess is ok because, plot-wise, you could argue the stakes couldn't be higher, on the whole. It was the most fluid show I can ever remember watching. That meant that anything bad would be gone soon, but it also meant that anything good was not going to last either. Of course, the anchoring constant was that the main characters were mostly constant, but, even there, the repeated rebooting meant that some things you experienced through them were no longer true.

I thought the jettisoning the intiail storyline of S3 when they did was a very good choice - they got out of it all they needed and moved towards something, IMO, deeper (one of the biggest strengths of The Good Place is it’s effeciency - they don’t draw things out, but move on when that part of the story is told). And it grew into something even more interesting (The “soul squad” thing is essential to entire theme of the show). Not to mention it includes two of the greatest episodes of the entire show: Jeremy Bearimy and Janet(s).

I love them both. They are very different shows that were doing vastly different things. They both succeed fantastically at what they are trying to accomplish and I would find it hard to compare them.

thesloppy 01-12-2021 12:41 PM

Just for the sake of the comparison, I enjoyed the good place and really thought it was special because of the writing & the setting, which were unlike any other TV show that came before it. On the other hand, the Mandalorian is the result of great, refined craft, but practically every single bit of plot & setting was openly 'inspired' by some other source material.

albionmoonlight 01-12-2021 02:00 PM

I'm looking forward to Lupin. I like "gentleman thief" type shows, and this one is getting good reviews.

Agreed. I like that they didn't go heavy on the teenage drama but the characters are just too cartoonish.

I did think the flashbacks to Kreese as a kid were interesting and they should have done more with it.

thesloppy 01-12-2021 02:23 PM

I haven't picked up season 3 of Kobra Kai & the shock cliffhanger ending of season 2 actually makes it pretty likely that I don't. Practically every single character got scattered in the opposite direction of where they had been previously headed, which makes for a pretty easy stopping point.

Wasn't really interested in how the cliff hanger played out. Was more interested in the additional reunions from the movies.

Finished s3 of Cobra Kai. Was the weakest season yet. Seemed far more into cameos than telling a good story. However, the last 15 mins of the finale was fantastic! And I'm actually really excited for Season 4.

Currently binging "Turn" on Netflix. I am on the last season and I just don't see how General Washington is going to win this war.

Disenchantment part 3 is on. Good show made by the Simpsons guy, Groening (sp?). It is a fun show.

GrantDawg 01-26-2021 01:55 PM

Watched "The Night Stalker" yesterday. I found I really didn't know as much about that case as I thought. That was one very sick dude. The thing that really got me is the women that became groupies after he was caught. I mean

I have that on my list. On a related note, I finally got around to watching the Mystery of DB Cooper on DVR (HBO) a couple of nights ago. I knew the general outline of the story, but considering it happened 3 months after I was born, I didn't know all of the specifics. And it was cool to see the coverage of it at the time.

It wove the story with profiles of the 4 likeliest suspects. Only 90 minutes long, so not much of an investment of time. Well worth it.

Got to catch that. I read a bunch theories on DB Cooper years ago, but I barely remember all of that. Of course, now we know for a fact it was Don Draper. :D

Enjoying the Expanse s5 but not as strong as earlier seasons.

Naomi's "whining" in the past 2 episodes are irritating to me. And before that, there was the mother-son dynamic that stretched way too long. And what the hell is Kamal & Draper doing ... much of nothing.

I want to see ship-to-ship combat damnit & more of the protomolecule. I really hope they resolve the Marco arc this season so we can go back to the gates/protomolecules in s6.

I do like the Amos/Timmy and Peaches storyline. Also enjoying Chrisjen but thought her comeback was too easy/convenient.

Edward64 01-30-2021 08:36 PM

Watching https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Civil.../dp/B07M62BXTM and learning more about NA history before 1492.

Really fascinating stuff.

Where native Americans came from, what they ate, tools they used, paintings they did ... we all kinda knew this.

But I learn about the civilizations that existed (hint: along the Mississippi from LA to Ohio), cities they built, legends they told, earthen pyramids and burial mounds they built (including 2 on LSU campus) etc.

If you like ancient history and NA was just a black hole of knowledge, check it out.

tarcone 01-31-2021 11:51 AM

Did they talk about Cahokia? That is right across the river from St. Louis and was a huge metropolis.

sterlingice 01-31-2021 11:53 AM

I've been to the mounds!

SI

They did. And Poverty Point.

Apparently there are eras/periods in NA ancient history. The Mississippian period was when the Spanish came.

The remaining "structures" don't look as amazing as South America and other well known ancient places but man, wished I learn all of this in US History. There's an Etowah burial mound relatively close by me that I want to visit.

JPhillips 01-31-2021 01:39 PM

I expect they talked about serpent mound, which is in the area where I grew up.

This show is incredibly interesting. Thanks for pointing it out. Amazing.

s5 ep10 was fantastic. Lots of ship-to-ship, protomolecule showed up, nice crew reunion (-1). Marco didn't get resolved but still a very good episode.

Looking forward to s6.

JPhillips 02-04-2021 03:24 PM

I loved the last episode of Expanse, but thought the season really dragged. I think they could have had one rocks episode, one Naomi/Amos episode, and last night's episode and then used the rest of the season for the war.

I know it's based on the books, but I got tired of another episode of Naomi in distress.

thesloppy 02-04-2021 03:36 PM

I just happened to be distracted & paying half-attention during Alex's whole moment (and I wasn't up on any of the real world news) so I had to rewind it like 3 or 4 times to understand what the fuck just happened.


..and I'll echo that Naomi's plotline has been an absolute slog.

Yeah, that was pretty shocking. I was thinking WTF happened ... and then the next Holden-Naomi scene explained it.

I liked his character but this season he didn't do much other than pilot the Razorback (like that name btw!). It wasn't a bad way to go.

Is anyone watching Warrior on HBO Max? Incredible stuff if you liked Banshee.

Lots of interesting casting news yesterday.

Gina Carano out of The Mandalorian and any other future Star Wars projects due to continued idiocy. Actions have consequences. Hopefully, Cara Dune will be recast.

Speaking of The Mandalorian, Pedro Pascal has been cast Joel and Bella Ramsey (who killed it as young Lyana Mormont in Game of Thrones) as Ellie in HBO’s upcoming series the “Last of Us” based on the amazing video game. One of the best games I’ve ever played.

Lathum 02-11-2021 06:26 AM

Just saw that about Carano. The right wing freedom of speech morons are out in full force when she was really fired for being unable to control herself on twitter. Imagine ruining a very lucrative career so you could tweet drivel. She likely would have gotten a spin off.

Yeah. This isn’t cancelling, this is consequences. If I spouted off the same stuff on social media and it was brought to the attention of my employer, I’d be fired, too. And I’m not a public figure by stretch.

I’m sure she’ll manage to carve out some kind of career making shitty straight-to-DVD movies with Kevin Sorbo or Scott Baio or something.

GrantDawg 02-11-2021 07:26 AM

The thing is she wasn't a good actress. She got the job because of the look she gave the role, and I admit that look did a little something for me. She should be easily replaced, though. Probably by someone not so wooden.

Agreed on all accounts.

If anyone wants to watch a really interesting, fun show The Food That Built America is really good. Deep dive in to some of our most iconic brands and how they came about. We are really enjoying it.

I remain hopeful! The game itself is more an interactive movie than a video game, it's incredibly cinematic. The dude who did Chernobyl is helming it and the casting seems great so far.

Speaking of video game to movie translations, isn't there a new Mortal Kombat coming out this year on HBO Max?

yeah but instwead of just doing the script of the video game they always write some other complete garbage.

ISiddiqui 02-11-2021 10:49 AM

As I mentioned in the Video Game thread, I was very underwhelmed by The Last of Us. The story just seems very generic zombie movie/show at least to me. So... I’m not sure how great its actually going to be.

Oof. Great, great game. Top 5 ever. Great game play. Super tense and visceral. Fantastic story telling, great characters, deep emotional depth. The tutorial, alone, is a work of art. I don't think there's ever been an video that evoked more emotion from me than this one. It resonated with me.

Can't wait for the show!

Agreed. Great game. Really enjoyed both 1 & 2.

ISiddiqui 02-11-2021 11:59 AM

And I found it a slog to get through. Had to force my way to finish. Was the one misstep in my PS5 playthrough of PS4 hits - God of War and Ghost of Tsushima were fantastic. TLOU was a thud. It actually made me change my plans and play Rachet & Clank next because I wanted something just pure fun. And it was. Now playing Nier Automata and enjoying it.

I'll be skipping TLOU show...

Ratchet and Clank is always fun. My daughter and I played through the PS4 version together.
