Made for a interesting day-trip date. I am honored to meet the OTHER person who has been to the Tibetan Museum in Staten Island. I knew someone who interned there and said days would go by without a visitor. It's not easy to get to. The rich woman who assembled that small room of nice bronze statues never left America. Nor was she a Buddhist. It was all bought at auction, about half of them in a single spree. Sadly, Jimmy Hoffa being interred in the bridge has been debunked. I always tell Baseball-loving foreign visitors to give the rightly ignored Staten Island baseball team a visit. They're stadium is on the water and it's like visiting a baseball game 50 years ago in terms of low key ambience. Thankfully, there is no specific Staten Island Culture. It extends to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and then in the other direction to Bayonne, New Jersey. Says my genius brother, "3 tribes connected by 2 bridges." SI culture is: being a blockhead, 8 hour red sauce, and having a girlfriend who thinks sex is dirty, but will still put out. OK, OK, I miss 2 of those things.

Yeah, with neighborhood girls in NYC 'no' can sometimes mean "you're going to have to try harder than that, buster!" This can lead to culture shock when venturing west of New Jersey. Thanks for the info re the Tibetian museum, I don't think I've seen any sort of media mention of it. I think it involved 2 buses after the ferry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaosLover Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Sex with woman who think it's shameful but are also gagging for it may have gone the way of the Stagecoach. I pity the young who can dial up anal on tinder. It may be as tight, but no way is it as hot. My experience is that this is unavailable at any price in the sex-mecca known as Thailand. Them being repulsed by me is a weak consolation prize for being fake-repulsed by the act itself, but still ready to seal the girlfriend-deal. I had a GF (Italian-American, Fordham Road, like a chubbier Marissa Tomie) who used to have a statue of the Virgin Mary on top of her toilet, so she could look at it instead of her body after drying off after a shower. Just demented sex at Story of O levels. This has always made me curious about dipping a toe in the Muslim pool -but the honor killing thing is a downer.

But your story dates you; post 9/11, you have to exit the ferry and wait a half hour for the next one. On the other hand, they have a nice, big fish tank to entertain you for 2.5 of those minutes. I thought people would be asking me about P4P in Haiti. It costs a dollar, don't wear a condom, wear a space suit. My dates go back to the 1970s and I really don't remember much... I don't own a suit of any kind - - so, I will stay here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was her name Donna? I lived around there in the 1970s. I married my gf after her mother caught us going at it. I moved to that neighborhood. It was there I first saw a guy (a civilian, not a celebrity) get the Tom Jones treatment, meaning the girls would throw themselves at him. And these were hard-to-get Bronx girls. Even my wife/gf was affected (she was PR, that's all I'll say). Of course I didn't get it. He had that olive-skinned Italian look. Every girl knew he was a real air hole as well as lousy in the sack, but still the whispers "ooo, there's Tommy!" I came to the realization that if I could figure what is causing these women to behave this way life could be real sweet for me. I never did. But I did move to California a few years later, where things were not so difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when they named it that, but I can't recall hearing anybody saying it. Somewhere in the middle of it is this Buddhist museum, I think it was private. Made for a interesting day-trip date. Also the Statue of Liberty island. I realized everyone gets off the ferry, goes directly to the statue, then comes out and gets back on a ferry. NO ONE (in 1970s) walked around the island, not even the park police. So I'd find a peaceful spot on the edge of the water, smoke a joint and take in the view. I did that a number of times. The Narrows bridge took forever to build. In the distant future, when all we have has turned to dust and a new civilization emerges, archeologists are going to find what's left of that bridge's foundation and find all those human remains the mobs threw into the cement, and they are going to puzzle over the strange funeral practices of the ancient peoples. It was just a romantic night trip.. out on the water and cheap too. I think i only did it a couple of times. Rarely left the west village Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. It is like discussing the weather. It is simply an ice breaker. I don't ask unless I already have an idea, So really I am asking for confirmation. One cannot break the ice with a Kiwi by asking "What about them Yankees" as Kiwis don't generally play baseball. Likewise silly trying to break the ice with a yank buy mentioning Man. United. Really no point in asking a guy from Rwanda if he is from Naples. Edited July 2, 2022 by VocalNeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already know where somebody "comes from" by a combination of appearance, spoken language or accent and clothes. So if I break the ice I use something less banal. You don't know how many times I have experienced "where u from mate? " as a rejoinder to launch an anti- American tirade. They should stop beating about the bush. I also think it is racist and stupid to assume somebody speaks English just because they appear to have "white skin". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Usually the accent is a giveaway but with a lot of Chinese learning American it can get confusing???? One has to listen for clues. Restroom vs washroom. A different area. Thongs vs jandles, Etc. Of course being exposed to different accents helps. Quote as a rejoinder to launch an anti- American tirade. Oops.????
