436. Hotel Dick Applications Pouring in!

Since our recent request for applications to fill an urgent need for a house detective, several interesting candidates have sent in resumes, and a recent trip up into the attic resulted in finding another shoebox full of old pictures including some of our founders, Edgar Loveless and Sinjin Birdwhistle, apparently dressed up for a party or fancy dress affair as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Our search is ongoing, but we share with you some of the more interesting photos we've received, including a few which have taken the moniker "Dick" quite literally, as well as some of those who've said they were less interested in the main job, but were interested in working "under the dick", which we take to mean as an intern. Or not.

 

394. Yesteryear's Queers' Word of the Day #44 - Pocket Pool

Pocket Pool

Fondling your cock and balls

while your hands are inserted 

into your pants pockets

-1930s-

"I love to walk into mattress shops and ask salesmen to explain to me the merits of one type over another, looking him straight in in the eye while vigorously playing pocket pool, and watching his reaction"

234. Dick Blunt's "Uncles"

Dick Blunt, tobacconist extraordinaire at Loveless Motel, shares with us some of his private photo collection including a rotogravure of his two "uncles", Mr. Thaddeus B. Packin, and Mr. Peter S. Tirring, standing outside their photography studio, who met years back in the steam room of a gentlemen's club at which they were both members, in Kalamazoo, Michigan.  Dick says they broke him in pretty good, and eventually fronted him the money for his first business venture as an agent for male circus performers, such as sword swallowers, muscle men, contortionists and the occasional geek.

185. Taylor from Dallas - an Intern receives a Promotion

One of our interns who hails from Dallas has just been promoted to Junior Manager at Loveless Motel (manager of what, we don't quite know yet) - Meet Taylor - he's apparently among those who believe that you should dress for the job you want, and lucky for us, places as much emphasis at undressing to to get the job you want, too. Ultimately, you can't help but hire a man who  knows how to put his hands in his pockets. Pocketpool never fails during an interview.
