Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Compassionately intolerant
connie, once again for the win in Bitches, perfectly describes a seemingly universal mindset:
They think "I can make them nice!" Or they figure "My ass-hattery will trump their ass-hattery, and they will acknowledge me as Sovereign of Ass-Hats and stop competing for my crown!"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

From Bitches:
Steph L: Another BDSM language oddity that I also loathe is when submissives/slaves refer to themselves in the third person. It *barely* worked for Caesar and Bob Dole; it ain't going to work for you.
Fay:...don't they all just end up sounding like Smeagol?

I'm sorry to repeat, but I just have to provide Tep's initial post as the set up for amych because it is too damned classic to leave out. I really want to COMM the whole conversation that followed, but I will restrain myself. No pun intended.
Steph L:
Oh god, mailing lists for local events are Dante's seventh ring o' hell. Add in the FUCKED UP habit of many BDSM folk to capitalize everything referring to a dominant and lower-case everything referring to a submissive AND if they're addressing a mixed group they use BOTH upper- and lower-case IN THE SAME WORD, and I have rage blackouts.
It would look something like this:
Hello A/all,
my name is master's pet. my Master is Sir Kicksyourass. W/we are looking forward to meeting Y/you A/all at the next event lol. i hope W/we make many new friends, if i am not too naughty hehehehe. See Y/you soon! smiles
And the sound that's so high-pitched only dogs can hear it? That would be me, keening in agony.
I don't think Sir Kicksyourass is a real name, although it wouldn't surprise me. The Boy doesn't like it when I make fun of scene names, so I can't mock them to him. But, seriously, when you introduce yourself to me as Gunga Din (true story), all I can do is laugh. (That didn't end well. True story.) Also? If your name is Sir Top (a real scene name), you REALLY need a goddamn thesaurus.

Gudanov: When you're stuck in a day that's gray and lonely, just stick out your chin and grin, and say, oh the sun'll come out tomorrow. You just gotta hang on 'til tomorrow.
Really, it's just a day away.
Dana: You're singing show tunes at shrift on a Monday morning? Brave man.
Gudanov: I'm just paraphrasing lyrics. There are limits.
shrift: You have a great evil in you, Gudanov. Come closer so that I can remove it with a melon baller.

Ailleann: There's a church over in my mom's neck of the woods whose steeple has blown off the building at least three times. I don't even know how that's possible, but at least one of those times I've driven by and there it was, lying in the yard next to the church.
connie neil: Bungee cords would fix that. Though the rebound would be hard on the rafters.
Ginger: They may want to reconsider what god to worship.
