The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
My, my, my. Those were certainly...something.
And Nikita, who was ‘orgasming’ repeatedly,
She was faking it?

OK, there are many, many things I could say here, but I'll stick to one pet peeve, nothing specifically to do with The Sex:
desire reigned in
Sometimes I feel like the only person left who knows the difference between "reign" and "rein."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
judicious use of a thesaurus
I was just about to suggest someone take her thesaurus away. Spade a spade, woman! Plus...
...she actually used the phrase, "heaving bosom."
I have no words.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
So, that would be more along the lines of injudicious use of a thesaurus, yeah?
Or slapdash, careless, imprudent, casual, slipshod, reckless, lackadaisical, hasty....
