I want to hurt that paragraph, and not in a fun way. Ugh.

Paragraph: So, what's the safe word?

Right-Thinking People: Submissive. With a capital "S".

Paragraph: ...but...but...

Right-Thinking People: It's gonna be a bumpy ride...

English needs a safe word!

OH MY GOD YES IT DOES!!!

...Teppy, I am appalled. And I have to say, I feel that all of these people, regardless of their scene preferences, should have their arses kicked into the middle of next week. And their internet connections taken away. Alas, I fear that the threat of an angry and authoritarian Englishwoman giving them a very stern dressing down concerning abuse of the English language would singularly fail to address the issue in any helpful fashion, so I may have to settle for SHOOTING THEM IN THE FUCKING HEAD.

...or, you know. I could just post disapproving and ranty things here. One or the other.

OK, when I type heheheheh, I am meaning Beavis and Butthead style, not "hee hee" giggles. I thought that's what everyone meant. Clearly, I should not extrapolate the sounds in my head when reading to everyone else's head. Doh.

Some of them are praying for such an opportunity.

And by "some of them," I mean "all of us."

I don't know if Gunga Din could ever not be funny. Also, Tep needs to see my favorite H:LOTS ep with the Leather Chain. Although I haven't watched it myself since poor Adrienne was murdered...that last speech is, well, sort of eerie now.

Back to the heheheheeheheh issue - when I type that, I mean that little chuckle that's kinda like the Beavis and Butthead heh heh heh, only it's smaller and I don't even open my mouth for it.

I hear it as Huhhuhhuh. But whatever blows your skirt up.

Me, too.

Plus, you know, the bigger name you take, the more insecure I'm gonna think you are. But I am, sadly, the minority, because many many submissives go "Master Pain??? Oh yes, master, yes!" And I'm all, "....riiiiight. Your real name is Mortimer, isn't it?"

The most commanding dominant I've ever met said, "Hi, I'm Catherine." Didn't raise her voice, didn't sneer, didn't use some cornball title. And I thought, "I will follow you anywhere." And indeed, she has scores of men and women who will follow her anywhere. She's hypnotic. Like a cobra.

Now that I've insulted half the Buffistas, let me say: I'm sorry. That wasn't nice of me, and I sincerely apologize.
