Fry on women

[alreadypacked]

What about a bit of rough?

I am a slave, both by circumstance and proclivity. Long have I prayed for the perfect master and trusted the Goddess to guide me into his arms. At Verulamium, in the heart of Roman Britannia, I find him. Gaius Antonius Captio is a man of wealth and power, and his domination brings me ecstasy untold. Yet while I surrender without hesitation, he resents his ever-growing desire for me. In his eyes, a slave should hold no sway over her master. But the winds of change are blowing, bringing the threat of destruction. Will my glorious enslavement be brought to an end before Gaius dares admit he can no longer separate the pleasures of the body from those of the heart?

A bit tame

A bit tame

Here's one I just made up:


1 He jests at scars that never felt a wound.

[JULIET appears above at a window.]

2 But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
3 It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
4 Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
5 Who is already sick and pale with grief,
6 That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she.
7 Be not her maid, since she is envious;
8 Her vestal livery is but sick and green
9 And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
10 It is my lady, O, it is my love!
11 O, that she knew she were!
12 She speaks yet she says nothing; what of that?
13 Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
14 I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks.
15 Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
16 Having some business, do entreat her eyes
17 To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
18 What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
19 The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
20 As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
21 Would through the airy region stream so bright
22 That birds would sing and think it were not night.
23 See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
24 O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
25 That I might touch that cheek!

Verdict on whether Fry ['s alledged observations] is correct

Case for the defence:

• Don't buy porn mags
• Don't wink on the internet
• Don't buy prostitutes
• Don't go to the park looking for sex

Case for the prosecution:

• Appear to like sex (love) where a possibility of a relationship exists
• Don't need to go looking for sex, so the case for the defence is utter wink

Verdict: Well hung. Case dismissed.

Agree with Fry although he hasn't mentioned the main annoyance about women, their general unwillingness to indulge bottom related activities.

Not unless they are perfect in every way.

It was Silas Marner for LC but we were subjected to it at Junior Cert - def, not my fave.

[MaryPoppins]

I pray one prayer, I repeat it till my tongue stiffens. Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you, haunt me, then!... Be with me always, take any form, drive me mad, only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!... I cannot live without my life. I cannot live without my soul.

Where's the shagging?

Straight to the point, eh MP?

[Doggy Styles]

Case for the defence:

• Don't buy porn mags
• Don't wink on the internet
• Don't buy prostitutes
• Don't go to the park looking for sex

But they do.

Not all of them, obviously.
