Ambush Interview #89 CuriousToyBoy

This is what we propose CuriousToyboy will look like in 20 years

Question # 29

29. How many people did you deliver newspapers to as a kid?

Ha ha ha.

My work ethic and entrpreneurial bent showed themselves from an early age.

I started delivering newspapers at 10 years of age. It was my first job.

I earned 3c per newspaper and used to deliver between 70 and 100 every weekday afternoon after school. My route probably passed 300 houses, so I delivered to around 1 out if every 3 houses.

I'd also sell about 10-15 additional papers for cash, which made me 10c each. I had a public works depot on my route that had afternoon "smoko" at 3.30pm, which if I followed my normal route, I'd get there aftre they had finished their break.

I also had a handful of magazines to deliver, for which I made between 10c and 25c each to deliver, usually about 10 per day.

So I had a thought.

Over a 2 week period, I stopped in personally to every house on my route to let people know I delivered not just papers but magazines a well.

I increased my newspaper distribution to about 150 day. My magazine delivery skyrocketed from about 10 to about 30 per day.

Also, because I know had to return to the shop at least once to restock because of my successful upsales, I changed the way I did my route and took off straight to the works depot as first stop, which usually meant I was there waiting for them as they knocked off for their break - this meant I sold 10-15 extra newspapers each day as well.

In short, a job that took me an hour and made me about $20 per week when I started, within a month. may have taken me almost 2 hours per day to complete, but was raking in a 10 year old boy an average of about $50 per week.

The pushbike I used to do the deliveries was upgraded 3-4 times in the next 12 months.

Glory days.

Damn site better than you look now at 52 old man !!!

Question # 30

30. Ever have any problems with any country's customs officials?



Which country DOESN'T have a problem with me is more the question !!!



I am on 10 for 10 on my last 10 internal US flights to get the dreaded "SSSS".

I just take it as a given now.

Australian Customs love me. They empty the bags at least half the time when I get home and I have to keep saying "The Butterfingers and Baby Ruths are for the kids, NOT me".

Because I am such a frequent visitor, my US visits are a bit like "Groundhog Day". The Spanish Inquisition is the norm. Yes sir. No sir. Three bags full sir.

But the MOST fun I had standing up with a Customs service ?

Hong Kong.

In days gone by for a short period of time I used to run girls into and out of the prostitution rings on Macau. Macau is also a crime capital of the world - it's where all the bad boys go to play. Drugs, gambling, girls, you name it.

EVERY-FUCKING-TIME into Hong Kong, it was into the room, strip naked, legs apart, bend over and ........

a belated Happy Birthday to you lovebug!! I missed the Friday salutations due to the greatest game of softball ever played. My daughter made it to the league championship game and her team won that night!! A prouder mama there never was. BTW, she is the only one for me until you sow your seed and give me the little man I always wanted. The obstacle, whom shall remain nameless (I am forbidden to speak the name on GFY but I still love you anyways babydoll), won't have a problem sharing. He has known for a long time of my love and adoration for you. After reading this entire interview, I must say I am crushin on you even harder! Good times ahead in San Diego. Keep an eye on "someone" in Toronto - only I can have two squeezes! xoxoxoxo

Question # 31

31. What exactly did you do in the field of personal security?

When I went back to "normal" security work in nightclubs, pubs and the like I had some friends in the music industry. Concert promoters and other such luminaries were regulars and many became friends.

Now, pre MTV, there was a day when international music acts did NOT travel with 200 person entourages and personal security that resembled the Chicago Bears offensive line.

Local promoters had to provide hotel, transportation and backstage security for many touring acts.

Over a period of time, I did personal security for (and obviously met in the course of) ...

Phil Collins (wanted to push him in front of the van, not through the crowd to get into it, he was a total fucktwad)

Bruce Springsteen (lovely guy, "Call me Bruce")

ZZTop (awesome concert, followed by straight back to the hotel, NO after party, could not believe it)

Billy Joel (nice guy and sensational performer - did security for him 3 times)

Tone Loc (left the after party 3 DAYS after the concert !!!)

REM (Michael Stipe is one WEIRD dude)

I also did a whole raft of Aussie bands like Midnight Oil (MANY times), 1927, Party Boys, Australian Crawl, Moving Pictures, The Saints and others.

Amongst that lot there are some stories, let me tell you

I also did some private personal security work, looking after mainly Japanese businessmen, which was mainly well paid babysitting duty.

There were a few times I also got to the plane ride....

They give you a loked briefcase (with papers), you get on a plane, fly to another country, clear customs, hand the bag over to others at that end, and turn straight back around and get the next plane home.

Boring as all fuck but the pay was awesome - as were the frequent flyer points back in the early days of those schemes.

Thanks baby.

I think.....

I am still betting on this hitting 15 pages before it is over.

Question # 32

32. Ever killed anyone? Ever put anyone in the hospital? Discuss in detail?

I am treating the first part of this question with the contempt it deserves.



I have NEVER put anyone in hospital. If they have done so it has been of their own volition, or that of others.

To put them there myself would sort of defeat the purpose in many instances, don't you think ?

I haven't replied to anyone since page 8.

Bet on it Lloyd.

Question # 33

33. What exactly did you say to the fellow in Prague that wanted to fight you to make him go away?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

These days I HATE fighting with a passion, but if I have to, I ain't taking no backward step.

But ONLY if I REALLY have to.

Being the type of guy I am, I attract idiots and associated trouble like a powerful electo-magnet.

In MOST places, by midnight, I will have a queue of dickheads lined up for their shot at some imaginery title - with me as the titleholder.

In psychological terms, these guys are usually sad and bitter, and they want to feel as bad on the outside as they already do on the inside, so they seek guys like me out to serve that purpose.

Over the years, I have developed numerous strategies and techniques to avoid having to put someone in their place, so to speak.

"Mr Prague 2005" was particularly insistent.

He REALLY wanted me to tear him a new asshole.

Talking did not work, reasoning did not work, veiled threats just made him more keen to meet his maker.

So a leant over really close to him and said ......

Mate, have a look a this head. What do I have to lose?

It worked.

Usually does.

Because it is not a bluff.

That reminds me of a story.

I was shooting pool with this HA in Spearfish, SD. He was a really nice guy. I was asking him about the meaning of a patch on his vest, it was the name of some Greek or Roman god of evil . . . something like that.

I told him that he came across as too nice of a guy to be wearing a patch like that.


He explained it like this: "If we get in a fight and I kick your ass and you are lying in a pool of your own blood and ask me to call you an ambulance, I will say fine, you are an ambulance."

Question # 34

34. Disucss the kind of person that turns you on in detail.

Now this is not as easy a question as it may seem.

One of the downsides of too much sex for too long with too many partners and it being too easy to procure is a certain "dulling" of the senses when it comes to all things sexual.

I have pretty much only one erogenous zone left - it sits firmly between my ears - and a girl either gets my attention or does not.

I am a firm believer in chemistry, there is something that clicks when you first meet someone, and that cannot be "learned" or "influenced" - it is either there or it is not.

I cannot help that feel for people who say shit like "We were friends for years before we got together", because in my mind, they are "settling" for something they can have and have given up seeking what they could and should have.

I suppose there IS a list of character traits that will make it more likely I will like someone, but it is more about the "package" deal and how that embraces my mind that dictates what "turns me on" as such.

Many times sex, and especially paid for sex, is just a sign that one is too lazy to masturbate.

Question # 35

35. Do you do drugs? Do you get drunk? Discuss.

Yes I do drugs.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

It shouldn't be really, I have always been open and honest about it.

The point that must be made clear is that I DO DRUGS, DRUGS DO NOT DO ME.

I probably don't do anywhere near as much as some may think I do, and I may do more than some expect. It is generally shows and party occasions, but I definitely do NOT need them to function.

How can I say all of this so clearly and definitely ?

Because there have been times in my life when I had SERIOUS drug problems, so I do well know the difference between recreation and an issue....

I have never been much for grass or acid or downers of most descriptions, but speed, coke and ecstacy fit my ADHD personality type. No smoking or injecting or any of that for me in this day and age - drugs enhance for me, do not detract and I HATE being out of control.

There was a time when I used to boot speed through a pick in the corner of the eyes - right into the tear ducts. No blood, no mess, no track marks. I was out of control.

I do drugs these days, they don't do me, and to steal a line from Wizzo's Ambush, "There is a time and a place for everything."

When I drink, I drink ****A LOT****. But I don't drink all the time. I can go weeks without a drink, but then easily drink for 3 or 4 days straight without sleep or rest. Call it practice or call it training or just call it abnornal intenstinal fortitude.

I am not a vomiter from alcohol nor drugs, never have been, never will be. If I am sick, there is a reason beyond that, and I stop, no question.

At the end of the day I don't really need both - in fact I think others around me need me to do it more than I need it myself. I am a MUCH easier person to at least try and understand if people are able to justify my actions and behaviour by associating it with drug and/or alcohol use.

Anyone who knows me at all knows that the more out of control I seem, the more in control I am.

My good friend and doctor once said to me, after noting liver function tests that are still fine and well within acceptable limits despite the self-abuse my body receives from me, Lindsay, one day science is going to perfect a bio-engineered waster treatment system, and that system is going to be based on your liver."

With the shit I have put in my system over the years, and for the extended periods I have done this, I should be long gone.

But I will continue to be who I am and do the things I do until it no longer suits me to do so, OR until I think I need to change.

In the meantime, I continue to march to the beat of my own drum.

I should point out here that there are a couple of things I do NOT tolerate when it comes to drug and or drink:

# 1 - I do NOT tolerate pressure being put on people who do not want to do or do anymore of anything, I RESPECT their rights fully.

# 2 - I do NOT tolerate holier than thou attitudes about what I do - I will respect your rights not to do so if you will also respect my rights to do so.

Each to their own.

I am a firm believer in EVERYTHING in moderation, INCLUDING moderation.

Question # 36

36. Has your exposure on fubar with all the crazy pics helped or hindered your career? discuss your thoughts therein on this subject.

I love JFK and I love FUBAR.

My life and times in this industry, all the fun I am able to have, all the great people I spend time with, and the fantastic places I get to visit, they are now recorced for posterity.

I love it.

Not because of any ego issues, just because when I am old and crinkled and washed up (sometime after my 110th birthday I estimate), I'll have it all there to look back on and enjoy over and over again.

Shit, my own Mom uses FUBAR to keep track of my travels and transgressions.

If it's good enough for my mother, it's good enough for me.



On a business level, Oscar Wilde once wrote, "The only worse about being talked about, is not being talked about."

I think it could be irreversably damaging if the pics and antics depicted anything but me being me.

People know me, they know what to expect, I don't hurt anyone in the process and it's all in good fun.

If people don't like me it's because they don't like me anyway, not because I flashed my bare ass at some party.

We are in the PORN industry remember, we should be puritanical in our views.

SOME people around should remember that.

Skufty should have a good life.

awesome interview lindsay. i look forward to meeting you. i should be done putting it together today.

cheers

I guess we shall see you tonite

OK, so my man said he is not sharing with you, I had to ask! He also said that you would thump him for me if he tried the same - I hope that is true. I wish I knew the perfect someone to take you off the market but I don't think I would find anyone worthy of you sugarpop. I would love to see the mighty fall (in love that is!). No doubt that would be the best bachelor party your "boys" have ever seen. You kids have fun in Toronto!

this has been one of the best ambush interviews yet.

Well, there are some stories he still has to tell..when he gets home from Toronto...like the ibuprofen, the badge story from the Phillipines, the plane ride from LA to Seattle..or was it Brisbane to LA, I forget.....why we were unceremoniously escorted from the hotel room in Seattle during his birthday bash....so many stories....

any clue when that will be?

great ambush - largest to date.

It's always AWESOME to read the life story of an amazing guy!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to get some time to read this one.

It's not a party unless the cops are called. But I guess I lost the bet...nobody went to jail

500?

500 now?

you had it

Toronto Webmasters gathering attendees

CuriousToyboy is about to descend on you.

Sure he will be even "MORE" outrageous than Phoenix Forum, if that?s possible.

Watch this space.

Brothers??? CuriousTim And CuriousToyBoy are more like an Old Married Couple. They have their fights, act like kids and then kiss and make up. That happens on Monday. Rest of the week is all the same shit.

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.

This from Curious - Toyboy ...


Thanks for you kind words - Curious T i m.

All bets are off, all bets are off folks. we have gone to page 11 and the point spread is blown.
