I love cookies, especially sugar cookies, so I guess I'm following your logic. I just didn't realize that there were X rated movies about them.

Just one more example of multi purpose gear, Bro. ;0)

Oh yeah, +1. This is starting to get really amusing.
Monte? Oh Monte! You're on, dude.
Jan 16, 2015 at 3:19 pm #2165291"you only get the sugar momma ad if you've been previously looking at online porn that creates cookies…"
Kat, I am really disappointed in you.

Kat, I am really disappointed in you. '
Don't be, DoubleClick got our data crossed. And I'm guilty of browsing William-Sonoma.
Jan 16, 2015 at 3:42 pm #2165299Yup David, That's me all the way.
Edited because it was David that called me on it not Ian. Not yet…
Jan 16, 2015 at 3:55 pm #2165306> When you get a moment, click on the Sugar Momma link here at BPL as I'd be
> interested to hear your thoughts on what's on the other side.
Other side of what?
:-)As an MLife I think some of the ads are blocked. Anyhow, I run Adblock Plus. I don't see any of these ads. Chuckle – some web sites sense that I am running Adblock and ask me to turn it OFF so they can get the money from running ads on my screen. Now THAT is amusing, imho.
My understanding, which may of course be wrong, is that one of the advertisers is gaming the system. I am somewhat doubtful that the Sugar Momma ads are acceptable to Ryan J, but he will have to sort all that out. I can't.
Anyhow, who leaves cookies on their system? I regularly delete them all, and I run SpyBot S&D as well. OK, for any who are curious: I have a Linux firewall in the router which blocks almost everything in either direction, ZoneAlarm on my PC, AVG anti-virus, SpyBot, and I run a RootKit Revealer regularly. All are fully patched (some daily) by auto-update. It's a big bad world out there.
Cheers

Jan 16, 2015 at 4:49 pm #2165321Nobody calls you that. And Roger has made unhelpful, snarky, troll like comments before. Nothing new there. At least he tries to stay on topic.
Jan 16, 2015 at 5:27 pm #2165326"Anyhow, who leaves cookies on their system?"
Unfortunately, a lot of unsuspecting folks browsing on their cellular devices….
Jan 16, 2015 at 6:39 pm #2165348I've spent the better part of the afternoon looking for this cookie porn Jerry keeps talking about. I keep finding the same ol' Cookie Monster video which really isn't all that porny.
So either Jerry is lying to me or he has the magic combination of Google words which will unlock this magical place in the Internet where snicker doodles and oatmeal raisin cookies can get down in sweet coitus.
Assuming that Jerry is just a no good cookie porn liar, I've decided that I can't be the only person who wants to see a peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie remake of the devil in Ms. Jones, I've decided to fulfill my destiny and fund my retirement in the adult cookie movie industry.
(It's a Sunday afternoonn. The air conditioner is broken and Sugar Cookie is sitting on the couch in lingere, trying not to "over heat")
(Ding dong)
Chocolate Chip: good afternoon ma'am. Did you call for my tool?
Jan 16, 2015 at 6:43 pm #2165350I'm thinking about making some peanut butter cookies
Jan 16, 2015 at 6:59 pm #2165355Katharina,
Sorry I missed my opportunity to Dave. My search for cookie porn has derailed my afternoon.
Jan 16, 2015 at 7:14 pm #2165362oh I was thinking cookie porn a la bill Clinton and cigar porn
Jan 16, 2015 at 9:37 pm #2165397> Dave T. should challenge Roger to a duel, and Ken should challenge Ryan to a duel.
> Mono a mono, rapier against rapier–ultra light ones of course.
Huh???
Shouldn't that be 'carbon fibre trekking pole vs carbon fibre trekking pole'? This is BPL after all.Cheers
PS: Oz Summer, hot and humid here.Jan 17, 2015 at 9:31 am #2165481Just got back from an overnight summit hike. Wow! I thought this thread was either going to get sent to Chaff or shut down completely.
I'm almost scared to say anything because there are a couple of very aggressive people here at BPL who give me the creeps. I was afraid I might see death threats on my PM or something.
Roger, I think you do a stellar job here at BPL. One time you deleted part of a post I made and you were right to do so. I'm glad you're an Aussie because you guys havn't been indoctrinated with political correctness the way we have here in the US.
Don't get me wrong, we here in the States have PC for good reason. With our diversity it keeps factionalism from getting out of hand. Helps keep the peace.
Continue the good work Roger and don't let the censors intimidate you. I give you an A+ on your performance. Just don't discuss cuben fiber in 4 season tents.

Jan 17, 2015 at 11:32 am #2165509"I'm glad you're an Aussie because you guys haven't been indoctrinated with political correctness the way we have here in the US."
That's very true. Nobody has ever accused Roger of being politically correct.

Monte, I think you're letting your imagination get the best of you. Nobody here is out to get you, seriously. A number of us have been on the receiving end of far worse than you've experienced. It's just part of the rough and tumble of debate in the FORUM. Fear not, Roger will intervene if people start to play too rough. In the meantime, why not just chill, give as good as you get and enjoy the show? I actually enjoy most of your posts, and enjoy jerking your chain in response just as much. It's a character defect I have not yet overcome. ;0))
Jan 17, 2015 at 5:08 pm #2165585Jan 17, 2015 at 7:53 pm #2165615Appropriate?
Inappropriate?
Neutral?
Definitely on topic and BPL-relevant ….. and a fair amount of fun with the right partner.
Do they make SUL condoms?

Jan 18, 2015 at 12:20 pm #2165767> I'm guessing you're near the coast? Is the interior more dry heat?
Right.
Sydney – one of the world's most hot&humid cities. Eh, we manage. That which does not kill you just makes you stronger … :-)Cheers
Jan 18, 2015 at 1:03 pm #2165783Now that I'm older, what doesn't kill me just makes me miserable.
Jan 18, 2015 at 6:41 pm #2165872AnonymousInactive"Do they make SUL condoms?"
Long ago, I came across an ad for a brand called P.P.P.(Purely Psychological Protection", but I don't know if they're still around.
