"Hi Bj,
do you know which disco track is playing during the Hothouse trailer? It's fantastic!"

I suppose I could've just forwarded this inquiry to the expert on these things (disco, not porno), but let me open it up to you guys - HHHHHHHHHHOT! posting with clip is still up, if you want a re-listen

UPDATE: David of Huzbears says: "The name of the song is "Devil's Gun" by a group called "C.J. & Co."It's from 1977. Truly is a classic." - woo-hoo! Now we gotta find an mp3 - maybe later

ugh, eBay again
i fear that before the day is over, i will have my eBay account suspended. It's been a long time since that's happened, and it is a real pain in the ass, not to mention financially devastating. In some months my eBay income exceeds my "regular job" income.

The reason I think this will happen? Late last night, an email stating that an auction had been cancelled. I won't bother you with the details, but honestly, I saw nothings wrong in the listing; i re-read it 5 times, then re-read the email, then the link to the Mature Audiences page - which, by the way, hasn't been updated in years, continues to be vague and unhelpful. Later last night, another message from eBay - a previously unheard of "1 Day Selling Restriction", stating that since I've been bad, I can't list anything, nor open a new account, but can continue to shop, email, leave feedback, etc. Red flags go up in my head, they are reviewing my account, and will see, soon enough, that they cancelled another auction only 10 days ago, some sort of tame wrestling video, which again I couldn't see the problem with. This morning, another auction cancelled, and soon after, another message about a " 1 Day Selling Restriction"......

This auction i re-read (i keep a copy of the html file I compose), and saw indeed this time they were right - i used the word COCK. But goddamn it! I won't bother with the silliness of having you pledge you won't be offended by adult stuff, and you swear on your mother's grave you are old enuf to view, even putting credit card info on file as proof of age, and then having these limits - but ferchrissakes, they have all these filters so you can't post the number 16, or any word with the syllable PAL (limits on PAYPAL us in adult listings) - so why not have a filter that won't let an auction proceed if certain dirty words are used??? Why aggravate selers and buyers with these cancelled auctions when you can simply use a tidbit of technology, technology they already use, ferchrissakes, and prevent more of what they don't want done on their friggin' site!

Now, not that i don't like emails, but this has gotten me so aggravated, that i will warn you ahead of time - anything telling me to use NAUGHTYBIDS or another alternate, or to simply sell stuff right off my site - please don't bother - I'll bite yer fuckin head off! I've considers all that; and even with the hassles, eBay is really the only game in town for the kind of stuff i do - it gives me and the buyers protections, as well as giving me a lot more exposure to serious buyers that i could get elsewhere. GRRRRRRR!!

Left-Handed

"Left-Handed is a Whole Earth Catalogue of erotic hang ups and turn ons"


director: Jack Deveau (1972)

Starring: Ray Frank, Robert Rika, and Larry Burns; plus: Al Mineo (hmmm), Bob Williams, Teri Reardon, Alex Marks, and Warren Mans

more from HAND IN HAND FILMS, this one was their first release from back in '72.

And I'm selling this video on eBay, item #180005965009.

Click one of the pics to view the movie trailer (you know that if you view the clip in the browser, you can "right click" and view it FULL SCREEN, right?), or here if you want to download and save for later. Mac users: To download the clip you have to hold down the option key and then click on the download. To view it from the web page you have to copy and past the URL of the page with the video on it into the address bar of the video viewer (rather than watch it from the page).

HHHHHHHHHHOT!


director: Jack Deveau (1977)

Starring: Roger and Jack Wrangler; with Jayson MacBride, Garry Hunt, David Hunter, Eric Streiff, Joe Dellasandro (uncredited), and in a non-sexual role Tray Christopher (Chris Rage's voice as M.J. Stunning, a radio D.J.).

Decided I would go with the actual movie trailer for this one, as I think editor BOB ALVAREZ is just fantastic, and his work shows up even better in the trailers he did for HAND IN HAND FILMS. This is from the oft-mentioned video I'm selling - HOT HOUSE - on eBay (ends SATURDAY AFTERNOON, the 27th!)

Released Dec 26, 1976. Directed by Joe Gage

Starring: Jack Wrangler, Steve Boyd, Richard Locke, Duff Paxton, Kurt Williams, Dane Tremmell, Skip Shepherd, Bud Jaspar, and Maria Reina (Boyd's girl, in non-sexual role). I love this film, LOVE IT! But this trailer seems different than the last time I ran it. I swear it had a voiceover by a woman - damn! Whatthefuck? I even remember gage telling me the name of the woman, then a soap opera star, who did the voiceover. Anyway, enjoy. Oh, has anyone noticed more and more comapnies are no longer selling VHS? Like even this one, who of course everyone should have a copy of in their library, is no longer available on VHS (I checked BIJOU, TLA, even HIS Video) Oh, and BTW, while searching to see if one could still buy a VHS copy, i found this review by a guy who didn't care for the film! Now, I won't bother arguing his point - basically that he didn't get off, his problem, not mine - but I do find it interesting the stills he chose to use - yup - stills that are NOT in the retail version of the film, and I would bet were lifted off my site! The famous missing 1minute20seconds of watersports with Richard Locke, Jack Wrangler, Steve Boyd, and a very willing and ager recipient. That copy was only put out briefly by SELECT VIDEO before they got in trouble with the law - old posting here. And, of course, my Kansas Ciy Trucking Co. (VHS) listing on eBay.

more eBay
As some of you may know from looking at my auctions, or merely my ramblings here, eBay only allows two "adult-themed" pictures in their "matures audiences" auctions; they do, however, allow for off-site links to more info or pics, as long as it still fits within thier rules (basically, nothing graphic, or NUDITY, but NO SEX - like touching your wing wing is a no-no; having a big fat hard-on is OK, however). So, this week I have several magazines for sale, and here are the supplemental pages I added to the auctions (and for those so inclined, a link to the auction itself).

ROGER, Jack Wrangler, Joe Dellasandro, eBay, and ME
I know you want the long version of the story, so here goes: last Sunday night, May 14th, I was working on my auctions, as I do every Sunday night, and put the HAND IN HAND Jack Wrangler & ROGER classic video, HOT HOUSE, up for auction at my usual ridiculously low starting price of 99 cents. By mid week, no bids, I thought I might want to use my blog, as I often, often, OFTEN DO, to promote the auction by posting a clip. So, on May 17th, I worked on a clip, and even went so far as to make a better quality, yet briefer clip available, as an experiment to see what folks thought of it (thanks go out to the one and only reader who responded - gosh, no one READS ME anymore! waaaah!). By the next day, I see one bid, but then notice very very few hits - meaning no one is actually looking at the auction on eBay. I do a couple of quick searches in the adult section for key words "jack Wrangler" "joe dellasandro" (and various misspellings of dellansaandros name, like one would do with Paul paressi, Paul Barresi, Paul Baresi, etc....) nothing shows up, and I realize my listing isn't showing up at all in the adult videos, the gallery section, or anywhere except on my MY EBAY page!!! The video is worth a helluva lot more than 99 cents, and with only 8 folks having seen the listing, I ask eBay for help in fixing this.

Egad! I go to "LIVE HELP" wait the estimated 8 minutes, explain the problem, and at first, she blames me for "revising" it too soon after listing. Her suggestion - end the auction, and relist it. I don't really want to do that, as it was scheduled to end in eBay Prime Time, late Sunday night (just like TV, folks, we all know we surf the computer and TV simultaneously these days, right?) So, reluctantly, I do that, ending the auction, and realizing relisting it will have it end at a weird time, like a we3dnesday afternoon. But I do it anyway,check back in about 2 hours later, and NOTHING - it's still not being indexed. So I try LIVE HELP again, and they are even less help, but suggest I email technical support (note to newbie ebayers - LIVE HELP is for folks who can't figure out how to use the SEARCH HELP functions, cuz that's apparently all the LIVE HELP people do - they are not technical people) I know technical support takes 24-72 hours, although you get that "thanks for emailing, we appreciate your business automated response within seconds) BUT I figure I still have about 5-1/2 days left, and can perhaps fix it by then. Another day passes, finally an answer, telling me I need to log in to ADULT, then search. DUH! Clearly, as usual, the tech support people do the simplest, least effort to answer a question, always ASSuming you are an idiot and giving you the least help and information possible. I am angry and send off another email, this time detailing everything, and tell them in big CAPS - IT WONT INDEX, I KNOW HOW TO SEARCH, but 3 items won't show up!! PLEASE PLEASE HELP. So, last night, after a long day at work, I come home, and see a longer email response, one that is clearly NOT one of those boilerplate responses, but someone actually read my email. BUT, as eBay likes to do, it doesn't fix the problem, they merely vaguely suggest how I can do it. AAAAARRRGGGHHHHH!

"Hello,

Thank you for writing to eBay's Billing Support. I'll be happy to assist you with your listings.

I have looked at your item description and can see that it contains one or more questionable words. Our system will not index items for search that have inappropriate language in the listing. The words in your auction prevent this from indexing. Fortunately, this problem usually only comes up with music listings.

To fix this, please remove the word(s) from your item listing or the item won't be searchable. Also, using asterisks or other symbols and characters to disguise the word will not work."

Whatthefuck? I am very careful with my listings, knowing not to use "inappropriate language" and besides, they have their program used in the adult auctions that tells you when you said something too naughty or questionable - like words like TEEN, EXTREME, even any word with the letters PAL (PAYPAL, not allowed for adult listings, and apparently anything that includes the syllable PAL, like apPALachia (I kid you not), porn star RaPALlo, etc. But I figure, this vague hint that it most often comes up in music listings, at least I can re-check my listings and see what sort of language might be inapprorpiate. So I click on my HOT HOUSE listing, start reading, and think, OK, maybe I can't say "URINATE" and change it to "do it" STOOPID, I know, words you can use in a regular listing you can't use in the section where folks have to swear they are not only of age, but also that they promise not to be offended, and even if they are offended, they won't hold eBay accountable.... GRRRRR! So, I keep on reading, and see:

"Meanwhile, the painter, Roger, and Garry Hunt are watching a black-and-white porno movie on Jack's projector, all jacking off in the living room. As we watch bits of the movie, we see two lean and youthful men suck each other's big dick and 69, until they fuck ass."

Jacking off??? SUCK?? BIG DICK!!!??? and FUCK ASS???? jeeeeeee-SUS! SO I quickly clean it all up, laughing at the whole thing at this point, it's all so ridiculous, like, I can't say the magazine has SIXTEEN pages without getting a RED WARNING that underage material, even implying "barely legal" is prohibited, but FUCK ASS somehow gets by???? I check on two other auctions that didn't get indexed. Oh, TITS, bad, bad word - change to PECS; now, what was wrong with that CZECH porno, The BACK ROOM??? Oh, "The two suck and fuck each other with gusto." - let's change GUSTO to, just kidding....They do oral and anal with gusto. Much better.

So, what have we learned? eBay is stoopid. No, we know that already - well, that's really a bit simplistic. The not-too-long lesson is, once again, eBay grew and grew astronomically, and like most internet sites, does fixes in a patchwork style. All the troubles they had with the ADULT LISTINGS were to prevent illegal stuff, unauthorized taping of naked and sexually active people, teens, underage, etc. Not to mention the graphic pics and language that meant they got SHITLOADS of browsers who basically clicked thru the adult auctions at work, whacking off behind their desks, not buying anything while eBay had an inordinate amount of bandwidth taken up by these often non-selling items. So, you can use the words FUCK, and TITS, etc, on the site, both general and "mature audiences" but they have a program that will prevent it from being indexed - although, oddly enough, they accept your listing fees, and don't actually prevent you from putting the auction up for sale. Hmmmpf.

Oh, and you probably want that 12-minute, low-quality clip from HOT HOUSE, dontcha? A handful of Pleases might help......

Bob Anthony's YOUNG CHAMP 1969

AUCTION here.
additional PICS here.

Sunday, May 21, 2006

help

Is the guy in the center, GARY BOYD, the same guy as the one on either end of him? You remember Gary from such films as: The Biggest I Ever Had, Gary & Mike, and of course, Marine Furlough (which is where the center pic comes from). The reason I am trying to figure this out, the pics on either end are from a magazine I was about to auction off, Levi & Leather Guys, and this model is identified as GARY BOYD - which is the same name as that superhung man we love from those Brentwood Films I mentioned above from 1975, '76.

OK - you want him non-chopped-up? He's down here, amongst the other men in jockstraps, another OUT OF PRINT magazine that I ought not part with, but most likely will put up for auction this weekend. COLT STUDIO PRESENTS Issue No. 9 ALL AMERICAN JOCKS (1987)

MEN'S ROOM

Director: JIM STEEL (1996)

Starring: Brad Michaels, Tim Lowe, Sam Crockett, David Thompson, Randy White, Paul Carrigan, David Cline; and Aaron Brandt and Lance Williams; introducing Brent Cross.

My "sanitized" eBay description: "The next scene features the always hot Sam Crockett and David Cline. They stake out two stalls, knowing that rugged Randy White always comes by for action in the afternoon. They aren't disappointed, White shows up on schedule, grabbing himself as he sits in the center stall, looking thru the glory holes on either end. Soon all three have erections and White is deciding whom to do first. White alternates between the two, sometimes engaging both at the same time. Eventually they come out of the stalls. Mutual oral back and forth between the three, then bending over a trash can Cline gets topped first. Shortly thereafter White bends over and gets topped by Crockett. White'?s chest is where the scene ends."

And I'm selling this video on eBay.

TANK TOPS

Director: Richard Douglas (1997)

Starring: Chris Hard (AKA Paul "The Geyser" Morgan), Drew Andrews, Kristian Brooks, Mike Cesar, Sam Crockett, and Shawn London (aka SEAN London)

OK, so maybe he makes funny faces, and his eyes roll into the back of his head like he's posessed, but it's hard screwing a guy while holding him up on your hips! (And I'm selling this video on eBay)

Click one of the pics to view the movie trailer (you know that if you view the clip in the browser, you can "right click" and view it FULL SCREEN, right?), or here if you want to download and save for later. Mac users: To download the clip you have to hold down the option key and then click on the download. To view it from the web page you have to copy and past the URL of the page with the video on it into the address bar of the video viewer (rather than watch it from the page).

you may remember me from such films as Why Marines Don't Kiss, Throat Spankers, Father Figure, and of course, It's Better In The Butt

Ah, dependable, sweet but dirty-mouthed, hot, North Carolinian Sam Crockett. I don't think this is his best photo, but there ya go, hard huge dick - most of you don't care about the rest. But I do have a couple of videos (TANK TOP, MEN'S ROOM) with this lovely young man (OK, OK - he's my age, so maybe not so young....) up for auction, and am wondering why no one's biting. So I hope to upload a couple of clips in the next day, and see what y'all think. And i think he could pull off a nice remake of that 1952 classic, Return of the Texan (Texas accents are the same as North Carolina, right?).

liz who? (....or, BECAUSE HE CAN)

I was hoping to do a quick post mentioning that a video clip I had posted a short while ago featuring Scott Taylor has the full video for sale on eBay - (the original post is HERE; clip still - temporarily - up). So I used that great little SEARCH feature, and searched for "TAYLOR" on my hard drive - and how about that - NO LIZ TAYLOR!!!! What kind of gay men would have no LIZ TAYLOR, but all these other hunky hot men.....? I'm sure you all know these great non-Scott Taylor pics above, so I won't bother identifying them for you; and here's two of him below (the reddish one is from Al Parker's great TURNED ON, the other perhaps a Christopher Rage-era still). As mentioned previously, his first film was Steve Scott's Rough Cut - ( currently for sale on eBay - oops, I said that already) in 1979, and in the same year, a similar solo scene for William Higgins in The Boys of Venice. He was later in several Chris Rage films/videos - Solo Jerk, Cutting Edge, Bizzare, My Masters, etc.; but my faves have to be the ones he did for AL PARKER - Strange Places, Strange Things in 1985, where he plays a delivery boy who brings a package to an older gentleman, but the package looks damaged, so he must go inside and help the guy inspect it. It's a vacuum pump, so they each do a bit of pumping, and the older guy tried sucking Steve, and of course Steve bends over and gets in a few licks on himself, as well. And then there's his performance in TURNED ON, where he not only gobbles his own cock, and ulimately his own cum, but he manages to stuff his own balls and cock in his cute little butt. Yes, yes, "go fuck yourself," literally!

oh daddy leather calendar pics not calendar


yeah yeah yeah - more porno auction stuff - i won't even bother with direct links - you can check out my little eBay page - bjland on Ebay - if y'all want. Anyway, the clicking the pics will take you to more pics from each magazine. OH DADDY is a bit disturbing, only in that osme of the men clearly are younger than me, and, well, it just isn't the much fun calling some 35-year-old "Daddy" ya know? And the Leather Calendar Guys - well, it's actually NOT a calendar, but the photos from various previous Leather Calendars - all black and white full-page pics, and some mighty impressive meat - daddy or no daddy!
