Ambush Interview #89 CuriousToyBoy

I gotta jump in here and say that Lindsay is one of the funniest people I know and I love every minute I spend with him.

In Phoenix, when he walked into the Lightspeed Suite (sponsored by RevShare Hosting), the whole room changed.

He had the same effect on the room that Taylor had when she walked in-I guess its their sexy, scantily claded bodies!!!

ROFL!!

I look forward to reading all of the answers. Just looking at the questions, its clear that Lindsay has had a very interesting life!

Matt

great ambush on one of the best "characters" in the biz!

I am enjoying reading this!! Lindsay, you are THEE man!!! Much love!! xoxox

Great Interview, probably one of the best and most detailed I have seen so far.

Never met thee man but am anxious to do so

Fuck dude - you are hilarious - one of my favourite people in this industry - Always happy to hang out with you

Teach me o' great sensi

I have a picture too! Neener, Neener! (*note that we are hugging) Damn, what a cute couple!

this is nice!

Wow where do I start with Toyboy( aka Lindsay)??.The first time I meet him was in the pool at the show in Florida in 2005 the day after the show ended. To say the least, I was intimidated by this oversized individual with an Australian accent when he kindly introduced himself.


Then we crossed paths again in Vegas 2006. We actually had a chance to talk and he asked for my hat and for us to take a picture




So I did.. In addition to romance, I enjoy fashion and looking good but as you can see I gladly removed the hat and took the fuckin picture even with the hat head hair style..


Then I ran into him and his table in Tao Night club?.The guy walks into the club and demands his own table and then manager actually gives him someone else?s reserved table and kindly comps his bottles for the night?maybe it was this Australian gang sign that got the table and bottles on the house for the Toyboy





He then takes some pics with me and Derek from www.mrskincash.com






I then took a cheap shot at this ribs?



Toyboy then decides to get some romance?




Then he has to make up with the romances husband




At the end of the day, he is just an over sized kaula with an austrailin heart of gold.. I also had the pleasure of meeting his partner Tim over the next feew days as well. I can only say great things about Lindsay and his company?Great guy?if you don?t know him, please introduce your self to him at the next show, I am glad that I did?

Your friend and congratulations on your deserved interview!

Mr. Romance

I toooo LOVE CTB he is, as many have said already, a true one of kind.

I am proud to call my riend.

I am happy if I get 5 mins or 2 hrs in his company he always makes it a memorable time spent.

Great choice for an ambush , Sleazydream.

Look at this...like I'm a feather!

Entertaining interview of one of my 2 true friends from Australia!

Lindsay! Any time you want to come to Costa Rica please don?t hesitate to give me a call. Mi casa es tu casa.

Big Moe will be happy to see you too.

Great Interview Lindsay, See you in Toronto next week.

Great interview by such a wonderful individual.

Even though I know most of the answers to these in depth questions, reading them, written 'Lindsay' style...well, it's just so Lindsay.

damn this interview is exploding!!!!!!!

Lindsay,

It's so nice to know more about you. Since the moment I met you I knew you were special. Actually, on the picture below, we were just introduced about 2 minutes before, and Hop! Picked me up and a picture!
That's how we met

I love you and can't wait to get my hug in Toronto

Yes Matt, scantily clad bodies RULE, Lindsay Lightspeed??

Question # 12

12. Did you ever open anyone's mail as a postmaster?

Hey now Sleazy, I dunno where you get your information from, but I wasn't just no Postmaster..........

I was the goddamn national Postmaster General !!!!!!!

OK, it was of a small island in the South Pacific

40 square kilometres, population 1800.

No street numbers.

Once a month the ship came in with all the parcel post and the dumptruck would literally dump 100+ mail bags at the back door of the Post Office for us to sort.

It was always fun opening a mail bag to see a bunch of boxes with "Fragile" tape wrapped all around them ....

We'd then play the game of "shake the box and guess what it USED to be".



It was a beautiful place, amazing scenery and rolling over on bed and watching the moonrise over the Pacific Ocean... well, that view even challenged the view from Penthouse now as simply incredible.

The problem ?

200 years of inbreeding amongst the population.

LOTS of 6 fingered banjo players.

But it WAS an incredible year in my life.

I never knew the fringe benefits of being Ambushed...

OK...

This is new.

I like have some Ambush groupies going on .....

I LIKE it ............

Begin ICQ cut and paste

Sweetums(Lisa) (12:02 AM) :

i am so gonna smush you when i see you in toronto

ToyBoy (04:38 AM) :

:-)

Sweetums(Lisa) (04:45 AM) :

i am...be prepared for me to lemur-monkey you ;-)

ToyBoy (04:56 AM) :

promises promises promises promises, all I get is promises

End ICQ cut and paste

Love you girl.

Anyone else who feels the need to share some online love, please feel free.

Because I can tell you the love I feel in this thread is overwhelming.

Thanks Guys....

"Groupie"??? How little you know me....I'm hurt











I've changed my mind....

I'm gonna kick your butt

i really wonder how that looks like

Hahahah...the 'lemur-monkey' is one of those full-on hugs. I'm fond of those myself and Lindsay gives some good ones...given our size differential I have to be careful that I don't end up suffocating in his armpit....but I think we've figured it out

LMAO, that is too funny

imagining that's Lisa on the top i have an idea now

but who's the other? probably Punker Barbie or so

Hahahahahahahah.....ok...now THAT's funny!! Best part of all is that Lindsay could probably easily carry the two of us around on his back.....



Ok...you've just given me an idea for when I get tired of walking next week in Toronto at the GFY Webmaster Access show

Question # 13

13. Is it true you worked as a nanny?

Well I didn't work per se, but I was a Nanny for 9 months, yes.

It's actually how I first REALLY got started in this biz....

The mother of my youngest godchildren (at the time twin boys, Jack and Lawrence both 5 and my little Princess Stephanie age 3 1/2) got VERY ill and was confined to hospital for what looked like a LONG convalescence.

Their Dad, well let's just say that "Mr. Mom" he ain't.

So when I cam back from Pacific adventures, I moved in with him and the kids.

Approximately 7 minutes after moving in it was clear that I had to take control... the place was a 100%, no room for error, Bushian cluster fuck.

Let em tell you, he may look better, but Vin Diesel don't know shit when it comes to running a house and raising kids.

Within a week, the place was shipshape, the kids were regimented like they had just doen Special Forces bootcamp and the house was running in a mor than satisfactory manner.

By week 3, I had already done my first shift at the school tuckshop (cafeteria) and was doing Monday afternoon reading with Stephanies pre-school class.

Week 5, saw my first invitation to a "Mothers Morning Tea". I even baked a cake to take. Banana bread from memory.

In the 2nd month, I went to my first School "working bee" on a Saturday...

NONE of the husbands would talk to me - they were all certain that I was banging their wives stupid.



3 of them were right.



My funniest memory of the time was with little Steph. The little devil in the cute angel disguise that used to look up at me with those big cow eyes, and I would say, "Stephanie, what do I always tell you?" To have this sweet little 4 year old terrorist look back, frown, and say, "Emotional blackmail won't work because you aren't my Daddy".

Ah, the simple joys.

Very early in the piece, Stephanie took me to pre-school as her "Show and Tell".

How adorable, and how cool did I feel having this little kid I loved so much want to show off her Godfather and now Nanny.

I felt a million bucks.

She stood me up in front of the class and said, "this is Lindsay, he's looking after my brothers and me and he has this really cool tattoo of Bart Simpson on his bum. Show them Lindsay !"

As the visions of 25-life in Max security ran through my head for showing my ass to a room full of 4 year olds, I decided that discretion was the better part of valor.

I did see her teacher socially for a month or too soon thereafter though !!!



Unfortunately this story has a really sad footnote....

Last November, my little Mistress Stephanie, died suddenly from viral meningitis.

3 hours from "Mommy, I got a headache" to DOA at the hospital.

10 years old. A very sad time.

She would have liked that I write about her.

I think I'll take that Jager now...........

Life is hardly fair sometimes, so remember folks, you get to do-over and life itself is not a practice run.

Go hard or go the fuck home.

SMELL the sarcasm baby.

xoxoxox

the hat! the hat! the hat!

gulp...

Question # 14

14. Discuss your adult programs and the ones you work with.

OK, let's hope that this answers some oft-answered questions of me. Like me and my life, my business relationships could hardly be considered "normal", and hey, although the intracacies of my set up and my structure are no-ones business apart from mine and those they directly involve, I hope this shed some light that aids in peoples understanding of where I fit in and with whom.

Firstly, let it be understood that one of my long held business maxims is that I do NOT build shit for other people, i.e., I do NOT work as an employee usually and with few exceptions a piece of the pie has to be on the table for me to be remotely interested.

I must also say my contract is my handshake, and anyone who remotely knows me, knows and understand that I value my integrity above all else.

If my word is no good what good is anything else ?

For the record, I am PART of CuriousCash, but I do NOT own part of CuriousCash. CuriousTim has done an amazing job building his business from a single site in 1999 to the 30+ sites (and growing) we have today in what is close to the largest exclusive * original content Gay/Bi/Curious specirfic programs on the net. I am proud of my role in that growth and continue to exert great energies in the marketing, business development and traffic generation roles that I always have, and always will have. Tim and I, like any blood brothers, are inexorably linked, and always will be I am HAPPY to say. I never have been an employee of Tim, and I never will be. It's like I said, I am PART of what CuriousCash is, and I will always be CuriousToyBoy.

Tim runs and incredibly tight operation, with an overhead so low that most people would doubt it could operate, but under Tim's leadership, the "lean and mean" Tim's angels team has continued amazing growth whilst many others have faltered and fallen.

Now here is the recent twist. Last year, my good friends Ben & Phil from the Dutch based program LionDollars (who have actually been around for 5 years, but have kept a relatively low profile to their size) asked me to come on board with a project to help them with internal traffic generation, brand marketing and development of small webmasters, an arrangement which I readily agreed to.

LionDollars are a very large program in anybody's language. They have built an incredible team of extremely talented people and are growing at an exponential rate. With over 100 niche sites and a big chunk of dating sites, their operation is a definite winner (watch soon for the new "Blacklabel" dating program which will knock your socks off !!).

Earlier this year, the boys asked me if I would be prepared to come on board at LionDollars full time, as an EMPLOYEE of their company.

Now I know my usual maxim, but this opportunity incorporated the exsiting traffic project at the existing terms, and the opportunity to work with such a progressive and exciting organization, with incredible technical staff and an infrastructure many could only dream of was too big a drawcard to refuse - I had the freedom and resources so that I could develop and implement things with an incredible team that would only have been pipedreams elsewise.

Ben and Phil understand my existing business obligations and needs and agreed to a level of participation in those existing businesses and projects that did not impinge upon their needs of me as an employee.

Also to his credit, but if not somewhat reluctantly, CuriousTim understood my needs to grow, and he also understood the cross benefits to CuriousCash with much of what I am doing at LionDollars.

I also have some mobile phone projects that I am putting to bed and some other arrangements through a legal firm in Brunei Darussalem which I remain an irregular consultant to.

I suppose the situation could be viewed much like Jason, who although he now heads CECash, but retains his Porndollar and [http://www.ohmobile.com]OhMobile[/url] operations (Hi Jason, didn't think you'd mind me using you as an example mate !!)

Here it should be pointed out the business of being CuriousToyBoy, as much as I would like to take full credit, is actually a team effort. Ands a bloody fine team at that.

Most here know that Kieran (FlogTheLog) came on board with me a few weeks ago. With my new arrangements, I have had to make some changes to my business operations with my new roles, so I have rolled thes up into a single program, RichC.U.N.T.S (have to talk to Eric about unbanning the "C" word won't we ?). His role will be to affiliate and operations manage that program. I will no day to day involvement.

I also have Danny in the Philippines, Mouse in the States and Georgie in Bulgaria who do the really hard work - the nuts and bolts of my traffic generation strategies for CuriousCash and other programs of friends of mine.

And last, but by no means least, I have the key to "CuriousToyBoy Inc". Her departure from [http://www.eurorevenue.com]EuroRevenue[/url] (hey Joe - thanks mate for the opportunity and thanks for remaining a good friend of mine) was kismet at it's finest (kismet being the Buddhist philsophy that all things happen for a reason).

Raven heads CuriousToyBoy Inc as my Business Manager, and my team could not have a better leader than my best friend and big sister.

So in summary let me make it clear.....

Lindsay works for LionDollars as Lindsay, with scant little involvement of the others. When I travel to shows now I am the official representative of LionDollars, so when I take my clothes off next time, blame them As an employee for the first time in MANY years, I could n ot think of a better team to be part of !!

CuriousToyBoy Inc concerns itself with ALL other aspects of my other business relationships.

Clear as mud, isn't it?

liondollars kicks ass mate!!!!!!!

Cheers babe !!

An yes, Julius, my friend, thankyou from me for all you do for our business mate.

In years to come the legacy you building will be enormous and many of us will have children and grandchildren who will look at us in the photos you took and gasp in awe as they get a true appreciation of what their parents and or grandparents did on their road to providing for them.

You are truly a visionary, even if an accidently one !

Between you and Sleazy the place in history of the life and times we enjoy is forever ensured.

Thankyou mate.

250....,,....

You forgot to mention my role as your stylist.

CTB and I have a very special relationship. I neither work for him nor does he work for me. We have a similar philosophy that doesn't limit our own creativities and need for expansion. Just as I've done for other companies, I am happily in the middle of the fray for my Lindsay, whose ability to think above and beyond the box constantly amazes me. I truly enjoy and am constantly challenged by this man, whose brain never shuts off.

'Big Sister' indeed. I come up to your navel.

I am here to tell you that his handshake is his bond. Has been throughout all of the years I've known him. I am reading this interview...and hearing him speak in my gay-raj, in the den....all that you guys are reading now....well, as Lindsay put it a few minutes ago...I've seen the movie; now, I'm reading the book!

Also, I've noticed there is not ONE bit of hatin' in this thread. Anyone else catch that?

Lindsay,

I want to wish you a Happy Bday, I tried to come out to party with you guys this weekend, but it's not going to happen, take care of yourself my boy, and be good..(lol, that's impossible) anyways... I want to hear stories and see pictures.

Lindsay is a Pisser
What a Great Guy
Congrats on the Interview and Happy Birthday Big Guy

Wasn't that back in the days of buying a soda-pop for a red cent ?

Gosh Lindsay, stop it already
and perhaps its NOT by accident
