And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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?

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.

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?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

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."

Life ain't easy for a Dom named Sue.

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

I am making up silly D/s names in my head now and giggling. I blame Sir Mix-A-Lot and y'all.

Grammar needs a safe word. All I demand of sex is that it is both adult and consensual. But there's nothing consensual about some of Tep's examples. I am pro-choice when it comes to capitalization.

Did you know there's a huge volcano under yellowstone that could erupt with less than one week's notice ending life in North America as we know it?

That's going to make Cass just giddy.

Hush, you! Okay, yes, the supervolcanos are fascinating to me.

edit: Ooooh, extra evil in my post number!

She said: "Now we just had one hell of a night
And I know you love me when I hit with my right
But kiss me now, and I'll flog you when do.
But remember the safe word, before we try,
For the slap in your guts and the spit in your eye
Cause I'm your kind of bitch, your Dom named 'Sue.'"

t apologies for any D/SM mis-characterization

Is that capitalization considered over the top outside the D/s section of things?

There is a sizeable faction which thinks that the strange capitalization is not only acceptable but MUST be done to make it CLEAR W/what and W/who Y/you are (and who you own/who owns you).

There is an equally (I hope) faction which thinks that there's no need to abuse the English lanuage simply to make sure that everyone knows that the person who capitalizes everything is the big bad domly dom, and the person who never capitalizes anything is the lowly unworthy sub.

Like I said, if the dom and sub prefer to write that way to *each other,* then rock on. But when it's done on a mailing list, my eyes bleed. (Because it's also generally combined with LOLs and ::smile:: and horrible spelling and textspeak.)

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. And yes, it's meant to somehow indicate their "lowly" status. (I think considering your submissive to be "lowly" is bullshit, because if you don't cherish your submissive, you have NO business even having such a relationship. IMO.)

So it works like this. If *I* were the submissive, here's how I would post:

this girl looks forward to meeting Y/you A/all at the event this weekend. Master says that He is also very excited. this girl is hoping to make lots of news friends...or, at least, the ones that Master approves! LOL! ::smiles::

No, SERIOUSLY. Sometimes they say "this one" rather than "this girl."

Yeah.
