We seem to be approaching 10,000 COMM incidents. I wonder how much that is in accumulated paper towels used?

I don't know if Gunga Din could ever not be funny.

well there was that time my (now ex) husband sent an email to the entire (mostly Indian expat) company thanking the front desk for straightening out a water delivery problem with "you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din."

they said they fired him for tardiness. heheheheheheheheh.

the moral of the story is: know the full meaning of your literary references.

Um, Tep? I can only assume that, because you capitalized it, Gunga Din is a dom's name?

Because that seems like a very odd/counter-intuitive choice to me. Wasn't Gunga Din a servant in the poem?

I can only assume that he wants people to keep saying "You're a better man than I am."

Some of them are praying for such an opportunity.

Alas, yes. Thus the fallback to plan B of SHOOTING THEM IN THE FUCKING HEAD. Because rewarding this grammar abuse is not cricket.

Good grief. Spectacular.

Teppy, I entirely agree - risibility really wouldn't be cranking up the hot for me. But I confess I am loving the notion of playing Make Up Your DomName.

Sir Spanksalot.

The Punisher.

The Dark Master. (....BATOR!)

The Mighty Boosh.

Zod.

...heh. This could keep me amused indefinitely.

Ooops. I didn't explain properly. That's part of why I laughed. (The other part being, oh god, why do doms try to make themselves sound lofty with weird-ass names? And the women dominants are just as bad as the men -- I can't keep a straight face when I'm introduced to "Goddess" so-and-so.)

Of course, being a switch, I can't really take any sort of title, other than The One Who Laughs At Everyone's Name.

A lot of people take scene names because they -- understandably, especially here, the land of uber-conservativism -- don't want to be outed with their real name. The Boy's best friend goes by "Jasper," which is not his real name. But he also doesn't put "Lord King Mack Daddy" in front of it, either.

I kept meaning to use Teppy as my scene name, but I kept forgetting, so everyone knows me as Steph.

The Punisher.

You know, I don't know why no one has used this! I mean, I'm sure that someone, somewhere, has. Just no one I've met. I think if I met someone who said "Hi, I'm The Punisher," I'd have to high-five him.

The Mighty Boosh

I love this. I want Mighty Boosh fic.

I would be impressed by a Dom named Bob. Unless he went by "Dom Named Bob." Though Dom Named Sue could be fun.

I have a alternative lifestyle etiquette book, and it uses the D/s capitalization rules fairly consistently in the sections where it's discussed, though it also cautions against pretentious Doms/servants. Is that capitalization considered over the top outside the D/s section of things?

I'm not sure if I'm innocent or vanilla, but I really need to go to f2f. Y'all are a blast!

um. What I mean is. So much for leaving work early. Oh well.

Let me get this straight: [link]

- Two 19 year old guys stay at one's relative's place for Christmas.
- They Steal a safe containing $250K in cash
- They buy 4 cars, 2 trucks, a TV, and give scads of money away.
- They leave the safe in one of the trucks.
- When caught, one of them denied any knowledge, despite having $2000 in cash on him and the truck with the safe.

They probably can't figure out how they were caught so quickly.

Brilliant gene pool, eh? "It was not known why the family member kept so much cash in his home."
