Josh Duhamel and Timothy Olyphant should do a buddy movie. And just randomly switch roles from scene to scene and shot to shot. No one would notice.

I just spent some time researching ESCORT SERVICES, and apparently most entail some overpriced dispatch fee and a bouncer/driver on site chillin' outside your apartment door and it all costing WAY MORE than the weekly paper ads claim?
FUCK, there goes ANY chance of getting laid again in the next 55 or so years. I always thought just paying for it would be the last-resort thing to stave off suicide, but now you're telling me ESCORTS DON'T EVEN OPERATE THIS WAY? Yeah I can go to a strip club and go home to punch the clown but NOT THE SAME.
Street pros = GUARANTEED disease, so that's out.
Sleeping bills or jump off the roof?

I'd be ALL ABOUT the RANCH if Isabelle Soprano from the show was still there, but I'm not driving 5 hours to bang AIR FORCE AMY.
Plus those sheets must be NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTY.
Anyone wanna hit Pornstar Karaoke at SARDO'S?
Not that I think any pornstar is going to actually do me, with my Fat Brolin-Arquette appearance and Burt Young-at-OTB wardrobe and KEVIN DUNN PATTERN BALDNESS, but if I can PITCH MY STORY and get some people in the adult industry to check out my years of lonesome postings, maybe someone could make a niche PITY PORNO, sorta like how Stern would get HIGH PITCH laid.

Hey McDouche or Lou, you guys wanna go halfsies on an escort and we can like high-five each other and shout FUCK YEAH! while taking her from either end?

Just go to the escort's place. They're cheaper that way.

Hey, Lex, how about speed dating?
You're bound to meet some hard luck emo girl who would love to hear about your Hotblog exploits and your color correction.

But, what if you're interested in threesome, foursome, or moresome? Or fantasy play?

LexG, I thought that you would be into group acts...threesomes, foursomes, and moresomes. And, I mean Male + # of females. Or even fantasy acts?

It's statistically proven that NO MAN (unless he's famous) can roll into a bar solo and pull squack. Most of my friends are either married or STRICTLY dive bar guys, so what I'm lacking is a Swingers-esque ROLLIN' POSSE of dudes to hit up CLUBS and COOL BARS with.
You know how there's always dudes in line or maybe at your job who take calls from THEIR BOYS all day, several times an hour and every call is like, "Sweet, dude. That's cool, dude. Let's go, dude." And they have this airtight circle of LIKEMINDED CHUMS who do everything together; Like if it's one guy's birthday, EVERYONE IN THE POSSE knows it and the guys are all, "Hey it's so and so's birthday; WE HAVE to get him drunk and laid!"
Yeah, I've never really had that and don't know that I would enjoy it, since I'm kind of a loner by nature and tend to blow off the friends I do have. Some people just don't really enjoy the company of others and don't need to be surrounded by 11 BROS at all times to enjoy a game or a movie... but then when it comes time to have a NIGHTLIFE, that's when it SUCKS not to have a ROLLIN' POSSE.
So you either have to maintain a 24/7 posse of frat dudes taking jet trips to Vegas or GOING GOLFING or PLAYING SPORTS FOR FUN (all of which sound like HELL ON FUCKING EARTH), or you don't have people to go clubbin' with.
Hence, I can't really hit up bars without looking like a serial killer. Since ALL WOMEN go in packs to clubs/bars, NO WOMAN is gonna break off from their group to talk to a solo male.
Especially when the dude has a BALD SPOT.

^^ All of which is why I have absolutely, 1000% resigned myself to the reality that the ONLY WAY I'm ever going to get laid again as long as I live is to a) PAY FOR IT, or b) GET FAMOUS.

Speed dating SUCKS. I did it twice. Every woman there was, no joke, either a kindergarten teacher, special ed teacher, or women's rights attorney. And every one of them turned me down.
I talked to one afterwards, and she said she'd been dating so much that she knew exactly what she wanted, and wasn't gonna waste time with anyone else.
That said, I've never known a profesional comedian who couldn't get laid. You gotta work those skills. Most stand-ups are ugly but they get action.

How Jewish do you have to be to qualify for J-DATE?
I think I'm like 1/18th Yid but JEWISH CHICKS RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULE.
Will they let me in?
Then again, DATING SUCKS. I just need a cheap, depressing, quick hookup with someone who doesn't respect me and vice versa.
I was raised Cath'lic so sex is THE FILTHIEST THING EVER and can only be done in situations where the chick and I would have UTMOST CONTEMPT FOR EACH OTHER.
Reason #A why RELIGION IS THE WORST THING EVER.
Posted by: LexG
at June 26, 2009 02:51 AM
I would stay far away from J-Date, Lex. You may think you're gonna have your pick of the Elaine from Seinfeld litter, but you're more likely to wind up with a bunch of neurotic yentas like Alvy Singer's wife--and not the one Carol Kane played.

HA!
I know the dude usually kinda disses me, but Laz is kinda bringing the thunder the last day or so, being civil even. Props.
Yeah, speed date freaks me out, I only thought J-Date would be cool because I thought like all the chicks would look like Buffy or Nat-Po or something.
I'm not even lying, I went through a shit-ton of Escort reviews and sites tonight, but all of them seem to entail some Michael Clarke Duncan-sized bouncer dude chillin' in your living room while the chick barters you down to a tame massage. And the RUB AND TUG thing seems HELLA LAME to me, because that's way way too tame.
I want the full deal.
I know this is crude and unpleasant to some, but I'm not even THAT drunk.... sorry to command another thread with indulgence...
I'm just SO fucking lonesome it hurts.

Portman's Israeli, so you have to go pretty far to bag that kind of premium Jewish girl. Gellar's type is an easier bet; she's really just good hair and make-up like Aniston, no?
Maybe you need to start hanging out in West Hollywood and keep your eyes peeled for a bachelorette party. Those chicks are usually up to no good and pulling a Rogen/Heigl isn't outside the realm of possibility.
Just don't forget the prophy.

It's all good regardless, but for some reason I think Aniston is Greek.

'Josh Duhamel and Timothy Olyphant should do a buddy movie. And just randomly switch roles from scene to scene and shot to shot. No one would notice.'
I had an idea for a movie once about some thugs sent by a drug dealer to collect on a debt from an up and coming actor and having them accidently kidnap his stunt double. I thought it would be funny to cast two actors that people always mixed up.
I remember in the mid-eighties my father (and he wasn't the only one) could not tell Tom Hanks, Micheal Keaton, or Steve Guttenberg apart.

Real World Update: Universal has removed a scene from "Bruno" that brought up Michael Jackson. The scene was cut just before the film's US premiere last night.

Sorry, Lex, I should have clarified. Aniston's only half-Jewish, but she acts the other half pretty well.

Morning update for THE FANS:
I didn't get laid last night. Still depressed.
I won't get laid tonight. Or tomorrow. Or next week, or month, or probably year. I will probably clear the entire decade of 2010 to 2020 as well, if we're all still here.
Would YOU kill yourself if you KNEW you wouldn't have sex again for as long as 50 years?
^ Serious question ^

Cool, good answer.
I'm going to down an entire package of Sominex with my nightly bottle of vodka and 12 beers tonight then.
Or maybe I'll wait til tomorrow after I see Hurt Locker.
But then it's ON. Or OFF, I should say.
FUCK AM I DEPRESSED.

Lex, take 700 dollars, buy a round-trip flight to Amsterdam. Spend a couple hundred more on a room or hostel. Walk to the Red Light District. Drop 60 bucks and GET LAID. Come home with extra cash in your pocket and a smile in your heart.

I don't have a passport, and they take at least a month or two to get, so that doesn't solve my URGENT SUICIDE-LEVEL need for IMMEDIATE SEX.
And I don't mean a LAME BJ. I mean F---ING.
Surely ONE HIGH ROLLER ON THIS BLOG COULD DISPATCH HOT SQUACK TO MY FRONT DOOR WITH A PRESS OF A BUTTON and SAVE A MAN'S LIFE.

I get nervous when I order Chinese food.
I don't know how GANZ was so casual about ordering vag for himself and Billy at the beginning of 48 HRS, and on a PARK BENCH NEXT TO A CORPSE, to boot.
They should have a service like in LA CONFIDENTIAL where they have CELEBRITY LOOKALIKE HOOKERS.
GREAT FUCKING IDEA.
I would order up the LOOKALIKES of my 20 faves, run up all my credit cards, bang them for 2 straight days, tell them to leave, then put a pistol in my mouth and go out in a TONY SCOTT/SMOKIN' ACES-lit floating pillow feathers/ceiling fan blaze of GLORY.
And I'd put it up on YouTube and be posthumously worshipped LIKE A GOD.

Lex, you can get a passport in days if you pay. And the sex workers in Amsterdam have a union. I thought quite a few were smokin' hot. As I passed.
But really, be like Joel Goodson and say, "What the fuck." He ended up with Rebecca De Mornay.

I thought I liked that Firecrotch from the Windows commercials named Lauren who goes to buy a Mac but instead gets a better deal on a PC.
(GOOD IDEA.)
In the commercial she's CUTE AND CHARMING and has CLUNKY GLASSES, but on website she's not anywhere near as cute without glasses.
DISAPPOINTMENT.

Lex - just lose some damn weight. You don't have to be ripped, just not a slob. Look at it this way - if you believe you're not going to get laid in three months, then get an at-home program with basic daily calorie count and you can shed anywhere from 12-24 pounds in 90 days. Your odds of at least getting a date will jump by 50% because you'll physically feel better, which comes across as confidence. Otherwise, you're just looking for pity.

This feels like the right place, since people are praying here: please lighten up St. Peter, MJ was born at the wrong time, when Eisenhower was president, and died so his children may live without Daddy doing the comeback tour; his music is playing everywhere and sounds as fresh as the day he made it, he's $400mil in debt and with your support, will be a very rich man in death; and everyone is still young enough to discuss everything and try to understand it for reals this time.
