...substituting for the Fatman's XPT Week in Review thread while Fatty's on vacation?

Seriously, look at his site right now. 10 news items, 7 of them include quotes from XPT users.

Hell, 5 of them nothing more than direct quotes from XPTer's(Willie's comes close, but has a tagged on question from another reader asking what a suitcase pimp is for those who are not familiar with the business, and Luke gives a brief definition).

Slow news week in the world of porn, I guess.

I saw that. Why even bother going to LIB. Just come to XPT. More meltdowns, knife fights, reality slapping of the whores and an occasional chat.

Besides the only reason to go to Luke's is for the bad camera work contrasted with the amazing Randall stalking skills.

It seems as if Luke has mastered the art of Internet v2.0. Rather than spend time developing your own content, you just link to/copy content from other sites, then add a section for comments.

Eventually, noone will ever have to develop an original thought ever again! We can all just bloviate about someone else's ideas from the days before Internet 2.0.

Plus knife fights and dick-measuring contests, of course.

Conky, I appreciate your links to AFYI, it saves me the time of visiting it myself.

Most of the time when Luke C&P's XPT, it's usually has some relevance to something happening that people would care about in the world of porn(right now, an good example would be Willie's Jenna/Jay Grdinia(sp?) post) or something by or mentioning Ms. Randall.

But the Mindy Main changing her look and the Lela Star fan-praise thread? Okay subjects for a message board, but not that interesting to put into a high-traffic porn gossip site.

I publish a lot of stories I have no interest in, but have to keep the blogging moving, so that one day I can do stories I am interested in... Weeks will go by and none of my stories on lukeisback will be of much significance, but that site enables me to do stories for lukeford.net or for a book that I am interested in. In short, I have to do a lot of stuff I am not interested in (and which I don't expect you to have much interest in) to do stories I am interested in.

Just do what jamesn does and dust off oldies but goodies from bygone days. Remember that time when Smelly Monkey made fun of something, and everyone laughed and laughed!?

In your case you could dredge up stories relegated to the Stars archive. Like when Eva Angelina's boyfriend killed himself because he couldn't live with her doing porn, and so she decided to jump into even more extreme porn as a "tribute" to him. Good times, good times...

Yeah, maybe 1 out of 20 stories on lukeisback interest me and about one out of four on lukeford.net.

I remember working at the radio stations KAHI/KHYL and only about one in five, one in ten stories interested me. I remember covering the San Francisco 49ers for those stations and the Sacramento Kings and only a minority of those stories were interesting. So it is not like I hate all porn stories and love mainstream stories. A good story is a good story wherever it is found.

more rob spallone-are you on the outs with him these days? he's so classically-repellant in an entertaining way and so bad for porn's image which clearly supports your ongoing thesis.

I notice you finally put lukeisback.com into blog format. Welcome to 2004!
