Thunder rolled… It is said that the gods play games with the fates of men. But what games, and why, and the identities of the actual pawns, and what the game is, and what the rules are - who knows?
Best not to speculate.
Thunder rolled…
It rolled a six.

Give the Countess a happy word — she's had her first novel accepted for publication. She's going to have to let me have a copy to review.
It's in the erotic romance genre, which suggests there will be lots of tentacles, mucus-slick chitin, and numerous eyes, so I'm sure I'll be the perfect audience for it. Oh, wait — maybe not? What else could it be about?

*perks up* Davy Jones?
No? Dammit, there's no new erotica out involving him. I've read everything.
Yeah, unfortunately it's romance for the mainstream---you know, the people responsible for the popularity of things like Christianity and microwave dinners and American Idol. Notorious for their collective lack of taste.

No offense to the Countess, of course. But a good romance novel has been, in my experience, a rare bird. Most of them could only be enjoyed by someone with no taste.

Sex with an elder being is unlikely to leave participant's sanity intact, and is carried out at considerable risk to life and limb, and limb, and limb, and limb, and limb, and limb, and ....

Sometimes, PZ, your romantic proclivities remind me of Dr. Zoidberg.
For some reason I'm frisky as a squid on Tuesday. ... Love? That word is unknown here. I'm simply looking for a female swollen with eggs to accept my genetic material.

Errr, did I miss something? Who's "The Countess"? No context is provided. Is it someone you know? Someone we should know?

CalGeorge,
Well, that supports my theory that intellectuals shouldn't wear shorts! Haha. He's lost his scary to me now.

A friend of mine posted this on her 360 page. Off-topic, but I feel compelled to share.
