all i know is bacon is delicious

OMG, that pig looks like my dog...

Looks like someone found a piggy top....

Is this a test?

"Strip malls are to churches as pigs are to..."

Nice pics! Oh, and that one of you and Rob .. What's a more bear-ish term for 'cute couple'?

I lived in Columbia, SC for a number of years and I have been to Charleston a couple of times. Believe it or not it actually has a lovely gay scene. I think maybe one dance bar and another lounge. Vickeries downtown is also very gay.

It is different than DC (my hometown) but nice just the same. If you care about these types of things there are a lot of very rich gay men in Charleston...just do not expect them to be waving rainbow flags....

As for you Seabrook....you will not be alone!

where are the photo credits?

Sorry...no one rocks the cargo shorts like you do, man.

I can't believe the Dutch even allow republicans in their country! Good thing he's a bottom, they'll fix that republicanism right quick!

Cool pics. I've just started reading your blog, and it's great fun. The Michael Meyers reference is spooky and topical. Damn that movie scares me.

Love that deserted beach! Is it deserted enough to... have some meditative thoughts on? =P As for social life, my guess is that Charleston has a more active social life on-line than in the clubs.

I would end up feeding the pig too, they are one of my favorite animals (my Amish brother is a pig farmer).

Both you and the other half do really rock the cargo shorts...nice wheels!

Hmmm... I'm thinking you wanted to show off the lube, anyway. :D

I feel that we have all won the Durban Bud lottery! Thanks for posting so many pictures TJ. It was nice to see scenes from your mini-vacay. And you can't go wrong with farm animals! Brightened my morning.

I busted a gut laughing at your picture titled "Can you spot me?" That is SOOOO "Where's Waldo?" OMG! That was freaking hilarious.

Your humor and your other half's great photography made me smile. By the way, the Shrew is always trying to get royalties from stolen ideas, clever phrases, and photography. I have to remind him that my blog is a Dating Service and NOT a for profit organization! :)

So how big was your lube bottle, and why was it in your carry-on bag? lol.

Great pics.
I've never been to Charleston before, but have heard it's a cool place. It looks like you boys had a fun time.

Charleston is a very pretty place. And, yes, they are still fighting the wah-wah of nuthrn-aggreshun. Charleston is like a tropical Georgetown. I've been to two gay bars there. Do they have more? I think they probably have a lot of DL participants.

Savannah is also very nice (and from what I've seen very affordable). Smallish gay scene but appears to be a good bit bigger than what's in Charleston. They even have a gay pride...thingy. Ah've been to three gay bars in Savannah (one of which was to see the Lady who was threatening to put her foot up some little lesbians ass). Savannah is a very very pretty place but you'd want cable tv, Internet access and Netflix (which would probably have a slower turnaround time for delivery than we're used to in DC). Pretty but after about 30 minutes there's not a lot to do in Savannah. Just kidding. It would take a least a month to run out of things to do. And Atlanta is a good bit aways. There is the beach. Tybee Island is very nice. Huge ships float by on their way into and along the Savannah River (in Savannah there's a nice waterfront where you can watch these things float by). You can also watch dolphins swim by and pelicans dive bomb for fish pretty close to where you're swimming. I think there's another beach but I haven't been to that one. Haven't been to the top of the lighthouse in Tybee either but I think they let people go up. Not sure. Cemetery is cool. Johnny Mercer is buried there as well as Conrad Aiken. All the spanish moss makes it a good place to spend Halloween even when it isn't Halloween. You'll want to at least watch "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" before going. And maybe again after. They don't have too many book stores. One Barnes and Noble and a WaldenBooks or something. If you like to read, you might want to exercise Amazon. A neighborhood called Starland looks like the coming-up (and out) gayborhood. Eat at Mrs. Wilkes. You'll be glad you did. The parks are beautiful. And they have the 2nd largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the country.

Wow, you've been putting a lot more photos of yourself up here lately, finally realize you're actually a very photogenic guy? :D

BTW, why were you covering your crotch in that photo of you under the tree? *evil smile*

DB: Y'all are funny. I think I post too many photos of myself -- certainly not as many as Brettcajun, but enough. I'd prefer to be elusive like Dagon, but the cats already out of the bag, I guess. Sorry.

Wow, you've been putting a lot more photos of yourself up here lately, were the probation violations finally lifted?

/ I kid because I care.

The nephew is adorable. I hope you took the kids to the petting zoo with you.

How could you not make fun of the tribal armband?

DB: The family was with us the entire time, except when we roamed for a couple hours through the neighborhoods. The kids were at the petting zoo, but Rob and I seemed to be enjoying it a lot more than they were. I took many photos with the family, but didn't think it wise to post their photos on a web site that routinely uses the word buttsex. Though, I couldn't resist one photo of my adorable nephew.

I was going to tease my brother-in-law about the tattoo, but Rob told me I shouldn't, cuz he wouldn't appreciate the whole top/bottom anal thing. I may, however, tell my sister over the Xmas holiday.

I notice how the first animal pic is of you trying to pet a cock. Tsk tsk.

Yeah, I could have told you EVERYTHING about Charleston, but why ruin the surprise??

did you get a Citadel boy while you were there?

DB: No, but I saw a few jog by.

You look a bit like Jake Dakota in photo eight.

Look MARY... I am at a race against the devastating effects of TIME and GRAVITY. I must post as many pics as possible before I inevitably look like Bette Davis or Joan Crawford in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"!

I love Charleston...definitely check out Savannah when you can. One of the most unique cities in the U.S. At least 22 different little "squares" downtown...each with a monument or fountain in it. Gay scenes are quite different in Savannah and Charleston. Much more reserved, but just as present as here. Come on, with houses like those, who do you think is restoring and living in them all? It aint the straighties!

So ... tribal armband tattoo = Big Ole Bottom? Sorry, y'all; I'm not from the big city.
