A Greek Odyssey

In Athens for an indeterminate time to observe a possible Grexit. As you all know, fetta cheese is cultivated under the foreskins of Greek men so I try to avoid that component of the local cuisine. Off to a club last night with one of Kommie's Boys (they're everywhere) where the highlight of the cabaret show was a drag queen in a WW2 German army uniform doing an Angela Merkel impersonation. Went down a treat with locals, who blame the Germans for the situation in which they find themselves.

I can put one rumour to bed. Now they're using EU passports Greek men are no longer required to include a photograph of their foreskin in their biometric data.

If you truly are in Athens, you must try out my favorite little Greek restaurant in the world; Athinaikon located at Mitropoleos 34 Sintagma, Athens 10563, Greece.

you must try out my favorite little Greek restaurant in the world; Athinaikon located at Mitropoleos 34 Sintagma, Athens 10563, Greece.http://athinaikon.gr/#_=_Thanks for the suggestion. When were you there last and how often have you been? I guess if it's your favorite ...

Like Dominic Strauss Kahn I never enquire too closely if presented with a brace of boys at a private party (although in DSK's case it would be girls, don't you know). Silvio Berlusconi is a great provider of entertainments of that sort in Italy, so I understand. Last night's party was in a very grand apartment, the wine and the boys flowed freely. I'm sure that favours were being repaid or sought, and lubricant was not only being used for its usual purpose, but also to help with the wheels of Athens' "informal" economy, which is everywhere.

I ended up with a thirty-something Greek (who looked 25), a thirty-something Asian (who looked 20), and a forty-something Greek (I think) (who looked 50). The trouble with four is that it either splits into pairs, or three carry gaily on and one is eased out. Although all four of us started well, in concert as it were, the forty-something Greek gradually moved to the margins, and by the climax of our encounter (if I can use that term), he was reduced to handing around the tissues to the others. I won't go into further detail - pornography is a447's forte rather than mine - and I don't want to offend the sensibilities of joe552. As one of the characters in Staircase cries "How's that for Holy Week!?" - and for those of you who don't know, the Orthodox Easter starts tomorrow, so this is the Orthodox Holy Week. That means I'll be in the neighbourhood of your restaurant, Surfcrest; I'll see if I can pop in.

Have you ever contemplated how the olive and the testicle have much in common? Last evening's entertainment consisted of the Asian man from a previous entertainment seeking me out so that I would, indeed, have a Good Friday feasting on his olives. I did. Enough said.

If you truly are in Athens, you must try out my favorite little Greek restaurant in the world; Athinaikon located at Mitropoleos 34 Sintagma, Athens 10563, Greece.Thanks for that, Surfcrest, very worthwhile and I shall endeavour to go back while I'm here. I usually try my luck with waiters but they were so busy the extended chat up was out of the question.

I know you've all been waiting breathlessly for some information on the money boy scene. Here's the scoop: Take a few boatloads of refugees from Asia Minor and beyond and North Africa, mix in a sprinkle of unemployed Greek youth and surprise surprise there are many, many (inexpensive) male hookers to choose from. If that's your scene, and porn's your thing, try Kosmopolit Cinema (among many other places).

On the other hand, like many Thai massage boys, quite a lot of them are gay-for-pay and many of them are desperate. Consequently, the likelihood that you'll get mugged or otherwise ripped off is quite high if you go with someone you met on the street or in a pick-up "club".

It's really sounding more and more like Thailand, isn't it? Actually, I think it's worse. Oh, 20 Euros max.

A meal conversation yesterday centred on the foolishness of Brad the Impala demanding that punters pay a premium for refugee hookers. Free market mechanisms would soon lead to Greek boys claiming to be refugees so as to get the "refugee premium". Yes, I explained, SGT is a forum dedicated to the how, when and where of paying poor boys for sex. However Western guilt and the Limousine Left's trendiness still maintained pockets of resistance.

A rollicking good time was had by all.

Strip poker seems to be a favorite pastime among some of the boys. Mind you if the lights go out it's difficult to see some of those refugee boys at first. Fortunately with strip poker you don't have to find somewhere to hide your money; best to pay the boys on the way in, I always find. Poker aside, the current betting is that the Greeks will, at some point, simply default while remaining within the Euro zone - the worst of both worlds. I've decided to take a break soon and will fly Turkish Airlines to Bangkok. (I won't be going to Pattaya).

Back in Athens just in time (again?) for the climax of this Greek tragedy. Unlike Aristophanes, however, this tragedy is of an uncertain number of acts and may anyway turn out to be a farce. And speaking of farces, here's an interesting statistic especially for Brad the Impala. In his book Illegality, Inc Ruben Anderson points out that fewer than one in 100 illegal migrants who came to Spain since 1990 (Spain being the nearest piece of land to Africa) came through "irregular boat migration".

And of refugees themselves? The guys are still all available, at 20 Euros a go. Looking at that through the prism of a447's favourite statistic (http://sawatdeenetwork.com/forum/post298240.html) (it must be, he quotes my expertise on it all the time), Male Total Average Weekly Earnings in Greece are approximately ... well actually, no-one knows, that particular statistic seems a specialty of the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Using the Greek minimum monthly wage (courtesy of Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_wages_by_country)) it's approximately 22 Euros, so for a quick fuck the refugee is earning a day's minimum wage, more or less.

How does that compare to Thailand? The minimum daily wage for Bangkok is supposed to be 300 baht (same source), so for the 1500 baht fuck a boy is earning 5 days' wages. That doesn't seem fair to the poor refugees. Obviously they've ended up in the wrong country. Oh well, as the Thais say, mai bpen rai.

A Greek, an Italian and a Spaniard go into a brothel. Who pays?

Germany.

The Greek lefties are nothing if not guys with a highly developed sense of humour - no sooks among them (unlike that current case Sook v. Other, currently before Mr Justice Surfcrest and a jury, with Paul O'Sussex QC appearing for the plaintiff). The Greeks not only stumped up the money needed for a debt repayment, but stumped it up a day early.

I asked one of the refugee rent boys if he'd ever had a customer pay early. "Oui," he replied (I think he'd arrived from French North Africa), "Are we all prim Victorian matrons?" I wasn't sure what he meant but doubtless it will become clearer as time goes by.

Since I'm in Greece things golden come readily to mind. There's the Golden Horn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Horn), which is what every cute guy possesses, and the Golden Fleece (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Fleece) which is the story of how Brad and the Argonauts went off to apply their theories of the pricing mechanism to the local rent boys, and Golden Staph (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus) which is most often acquired through the nose and therefore a consequence of brown-nosing.

But today's thoughts of Gold come from my conversation with the refugee rent boy a couple of days ago. He said, you will recall, "Oui. Are we all prim Victorian maidens?"

At least, that's what I thought he had said. It turns out he was not speaking French at all, and had prefaced his remarks "Wee" - a reference to the practice known as a Golden Shower (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Golden+Shower). Hence "Wee! Are we all prim Victorian maidens?" - a demand for an early payment if the customer asks for a golden shower, something not within the ken of prim Victorian maidens, although I'm almost certain it's one of Sook's vices.

It's all clear now!

Surely you can't complain too much about that though as ultimately it will be the Germans who get fucked up the ass by them all after all's said and done anyway. :-)

[Smiles]

If nothing else this thread should be thought of as a reasonable proof that Kommytariat should never be banned from this board.

In fact, seeing the writing on the wall, it may come to pass that Mr 'K' indeed started this thread for just that specific purpose . . . i.e. to set up a narrative of Good Intentions, knowing full well that the kinky perverts on this board (which would be about 92.5% of the total membership ... and yes, that would include Joe and his wide-ranging harem of altar boys ... now made respectable by the Irish referendum) would defend any thread which included the notion that Feta Cheese is somehow mysteriously manufactured under the formidable shrouds of Grecian foreskins.

[Surfcrest]

A fascinating read, remenisent of the Colonel's colorful perspective of the world and humanity. I'm not one for Feta and my bf runs screaming from all cheeses, especially the more aromatic of the lot..no matter where they come from.

I recall passing through Athens in a cab some months back and listening to the driver moan about the government and how he and all the other Greeks were only starting down the road of economic suffering. I think they simply spend more than they earn, simple as that and they've accumulated some debt by letting it go on longer than it should have. Oh well, things are cheap in the City and the food exceptional, especially the cucumber and tomato salad in the restaurant I recommended.

Personally, I prefer life out on the Islands, a view over the town beach in Mykonos and the stunning beauties splashing about.

Since we are on the Funnies:

and


A Greek, an Italian and a Spaniard go into a brothel. Who pays? Germany.

Here's my contribution, related to me some time ago by a very cute Czech boy called Jiri:

It's Friday afternoon, Angel Merkel lands at Prague Airport and is going through Immigration:

Immigration Officer (IO): Name?
AM: Angela Merkel.
IO: Nationality?
AM: German.
IO: Occupation?
AM. No...just a weekend break this time!

:ymparty:

It's looking more likely that the resolution for Greece is farce rather than tragedy; certainly it's way more entertaining than a series of posts where a447 tries desperately to prove he has a sense of humour but ends up demonstrating - as multiple responses to his "me, me, me" thread comment in spades - that he's merely a common-or-garden f*ckwit.

The Greek farce therefore occupies more of my time. I was tempted to add, especially for Brad's annoyance, that so do the refugee rent boys, but I'm tired of that joke. Evening sex parties are much more satisfying.

[a447]

Thanks for continuing to write about me, me, me. You're doing more to keep me, me, me in the headlines than I could ever do!

And "common-or-garden f*ckwit"?

Now that's a bit harsh, Kommie! :AR!

Was it something I said in a couple of different threads recently? Did I hurt your feelings?

Lol

[Brad the Impala]

I was tempted to add, especially for Brad's annoyance,

Don't flatter yourself!

I was tempted to add, especially for Brad's annoyance,

Don't flatter yourself!I don't, I look to see if you just can't help yourself and feel you have to respond - as you did.

Meanwhile Christine Lagarde keeps bleating about how it's Greece's last chance. She probably thought the same about Sepp Blatter and we all know how that turned out.

I was able to indulge in one of my favourite activities this morning. Going down to breakfast, the lift stopped at several floors to collect new passengers. At one the door opened to reveal a young woman deeply engrossed in her mobile phone. The lift passengers all stood there very quietly, looking at each other and trying not to giggle. The doors then closed and we were on our way again. I wonder how long she waited.

I thought the sex parties I've been attending here in Athens were pretty hardcore, but not, apparently, as hardcore as what certain Australians get up to (http://mashable.com/2015/06/02/antechinus-marsupial-new-species/). Speaking of Australians I can use Jonah's favourite statistical measure again - Average Weekly Earnings.

Australia's minimum wage was re-set yesterday; the re-set puts the annual increase at 2.5%. As the Australian Council of United Tradies (ACUNT) points out (http://www.skynews.com.au/news/politics/national/2015/06/03/no-one-happy-with-minimum-wage-decision.html), Average Weekly Earnings (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-06-02/fair-work-commission-hands-down-wage-decision/6513944) have increased by 2.8% in the same period

How easily pleased you are. If travelling in a lift is one of your favourite activities I suppose you have an orgasm on an escalator?

And you see Kommie, that's the whole problem with religion too you see! The religious folk believe God created the earth (Perhaps he did) for mankind, which doesn't add up because the earth and indeed the universe which made this whole "earth" thing possible existed billions of years before man. It's like discovering a continent people are already living on.

So, while you think the world revolves around you (like those religious folk do), I'm sure she just reached over and pressed the button for the next elevator. Who know? Perhaps that call was more important than riding that elevator down with you.

Have you ever been to Brisbane?

Surfcrest

Have you ever been to Brisbane?"Ever"? I was a visiting professor at UQ quite recently.


... while you think the world revolves around you ... You and Jonah both. I was going to say I credit you with more intelligence but that would be a lie.

[Surfcrest]

I was going to say I credit you with more intelligence but that would be a lie.
Well, we wouldn't want to spoil that perfect record either...would we?

D'accord

[a447]

I was a visiting professor at UQ quite recently.

Yeah, right! If that were true it would be an insult to the university.

Why would they allow a "professor" to visit from an educational institution which, by your own admission, employs staff who are so stupid they can't even "tie their own shoelaces"?


There's a code phrase in our Common Room "I'm off for a bit of NST" which refers to the need for one or other of us to go assist the shoelace tying requirements of our colleague, N.

Kommie, you're full if it. You really are!

And to be so easily amused by someone not getting into a lift - to the point where you would actually make a post about it on this board - is an indictment of the sad and empty life you must lead. It's a common theme throughout your posts.

So, are you really in Greece, or are you using Tor to hide the fact that you haven't left England?

Lift Girl was at it again this evening. Paying more attention to your phone than what's going on around you is becoming a significant cause of pedestrian deaths in the First World. Having inattentive people suddenly stop on the footpath in front of people because they're posting to Facebook or similar nonsense is an increasing social ill.

I know Jonah will quote this out of context (a favourite posting habit) but here's a U.S. attorney's view http://www.johngarveylaw.com/Articles/A ... ians.shtml (http://www.johngarveylaw.com/Articles/Accidents-Caused-by-Distracted-Pedestrians.shtml)

For those interested in a punt, Paddy Power are offering something like even money on a Grexit. The odds are too skinny for me

Meanwhile Christine Lagarde keeps bleating about how it's Greece's last chance. She probably thought the same about Sepp Blatter and we all know how that turned out.
Yes, we do know (now). Greece might face a similar fate, the Graccident. But I won't get my hopes up just yet.

You could have knocked me down with a feather. Frau Merkel has confessed that "the aim is to keep Greece in the Euro". The corollary is that if Greece leaves it will be entirely the fault of those nasty socialists in charge of the Greek government. I haven't laughed so much since {censored}

The answer, so it seems, is farce http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/econ ... -live.html (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11700327/Greece-debt-crisis-creditors-proposal-live.html)

How reminiscent of a recent episode on SGT

An excellent article (http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2015/07/is-greece-a-part-of-europe/397796) in The Atlantic about why modern Greece has always been peripheral to Europe and why the Greeks long to belong

Angela the german has arranged for the new run of euro notes to be printed on grease-proof paper.

Finally I can pack my bags and go home! A Greek tragedy it wasn't

I will be in northern Greece in October...am already hard thinking of the pickings...arse was already so cheap...always a silver lining to every cloud.
