morning cheerleading moment

This morning, several of my writer friends are expressing doubts about their writerly abilities and careers and general fictionwise self-esteem.

So this is just to say:


You Guys Rock.

And I'm not just saying that out of solidarity or somethin'. I love your writing. Yes, yours. Yours too. And yours as well. I could pen a mooshy embarrassing fan letter to each of you if it would help convince you. Or I could push my glasses down my nose and intone that this is a considered professional evaluation of your work. Whatever it takes.

Smooches,

Me.

porn never dies

Yesterday, My copy of Dirty Found #3 came in the mail.

This morning, I stumbled across this story and its accompanying picture.

Found porn can be weirdly heartwarming.

(P.S. click through to the entire fire photo gallery. It's worth it. Some pictures may be disturbing, though.)

OMG, there really is a blog for everything.

as long as I'm talking about breasts

These are the cutest pasties ever.

Coincidence, or Zeitgeist?

Just this weekend I was thinking about Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, and then this morning, I come across this post at Nightcharm. (I guess the sidebars and ads and stuff make this link NSFW.)

Favorite quote: "The triad is such an stunning camp spectacle that they’re almost impossible to define as fully man or woman. Are they buxom, cat-fighting male fantasies? Brawling bull daggers behind the wheel? She-male outlaws or tranny terrors on a desert death trip into oblivion?"

Runner-up: "Varla is the wish fulfillment of the Anti-Establishment militant gay in all of us."

(Slight demerit for "Rosie and Varla are clearly girlfriends, passive femme to active butch," though.)

Man Eater

Don't want to be a tiger, tigers play too rough -- Elvis Presley

Under most circumstances, a tiger would rather avoid crossing tracks with man.

But

If an injured tiger crosses paths with a human,
which results in the latter being killed,
it realizes the physical weakness of man
and includes him in its menu.

There are two opposing schools of thought.
One feels that man-eaters can never be made to disassociate man as a natural prey species.

Once a man-eater, always a man-eater.

The other school of thought feels that a man-eater can be taught
and made to realize that man should not feature on its regular diet.

They are now captured and put in zoos.

It is only in cases where the circumstances are totally unavoidable
that man-eaters
are
shot
dead.

Once a tiger loses its fear of man, it is one of the most dangerous animals in the world.
