It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

the former have nice muscles (if they pull their own lines) and the latter have nice swearing skills.

Give me swearing skills over muscles any day. Besides, the latter probably know how to incapacitate the former, and that's kinda hot.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

So this saturday, it appears I will be watching a baby get born. Wasn't what I was originally planning,but then, I wasn't really planning anything.

Huh.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

do they have any incentive toward nice muscles?
Oh, they'll do...

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

If jockeys are athletes than race car drivers are athletes.

I'm not convinced jockeys are athletes. On the one hand, they do have to do contortionist poses in the course of their competition; but on the other hand, they're not the ones running the race, you know?

I mean, if jockeys are athletes, then ditch-diggers are athletes, right? Using your body in the course of your work isn't the quailfying attribute, in my mind.

And, yes, they tend to have wonderful wee muscular bodies.

Oh, are they all wee? I had no idea. (Jockeys being wee, I knew about, but not race car drivers.)

Don't have him take off the jumpsuit. Not all the way, anyway.
I like the way ita thinks...

Dude, you need ten years of therapy before you even approach that question.
Sadly, this is true.

They skew to the wee side but some are ginormatrons too. But they are all in excellent shape. An out of shape driver is ... fired, really.

Umm sitting on a horse is work. Requires some strength and a fair amount of skill. Sitting on a horse that is running or galloping. That takes more skill. Jockeys are definitely athletes. Race horses are athletes too - but that just makes it a team sport.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are discus throwers athletes? They're using their bodies in the course of their jobs too--their job happens to be a sport which is why I feel comfortable calling them athletes.

Now tagless for your comfort.

One afternoon of horseback riding makes my entire body ache--back, ass, legs and arms. Those guys are athletes. Definitely.
