Ok, this is the last one. Y'know how you start something and it ends up different than you expected? Instead of trying to fit the incidents to match the song, I decided to just tell it like I see it. Each of you mentioned has given far more to me than shown in verse below. And many others have as well, but . . . well, there just wasn't enough room in 12 lines with 8 or fewer syllables.

We all know that the Twelve Days of Christmas is sung in 12 rounds that increase in length by each verse.

ok, this one I did write just now!

Low gauge on big glans and
sacs rung with ladders
Labes jeweled with sparklies
both inners and outers
Nips skewered with barbells or
captive bead rings
These are a few of my favorite things

Shiny big balls on a
well oiled big d*ck
All well displayed on our home, Tribalectic
Hafadas and frenums
and clits barred or ringed
These are a few of my favorite things

Titanium and stainless
and other bright metals
Rings, bars, and horseshoes,
and Mike’s pump with pedals
Jewels, stones, and colored balls,
all manner of bling
These are

I can't take credit for writing this, but it's one I've been singing for years ~

Faunus the goat foot horned god
had a very rigid prick
and if you ever saw it
you would even say "it's thick!"
all of the other deities
used to sneer so jealousy
they never wanted Faunus
to join them in their rev-el-ry!

Then one frosty Saturnal
Juno came to say
"Faunus, since you're hung so well
won't you ring my solstice bell?" (ding!)
Then all the deities loved him
and they leered suggestively
Faunus, the goat foot horned god,
won't you save a ring for me?

Won't you save a ring for meeeeee

Ain’t life funny? My family celebrates Thanksgiving rather than Harvest Home.

I finally saw the movie Bruno - and it made me think of Mike Hugo AND his cousin Luther.

Hey, Mike -- Bruno needs your help.

If y'all saw Borat, then you have a very good idea what the movie Bruno is like. Except instead of being from Khazakstan, the main character is from Austria and “wery, wery” gay.

Holy crap! Around 1:30 this morning I'm still on the couch. I know I need to get to bed. But thought "I'll just close my eyes for a sec . . . "

I keep hearing "you do . . . you do . . . you do on your clothes" my brain is thinking "did I hear you doo? doo on your clothes?" Struggling to wake all the way up . . . "you doo in different colors for a surprise! To mark your belongings . . . " WTF? Finally get all the way awake and open my eyes. It's some DIY silk screen set-up called Yu-Du. Oh, ok.

Switch the channel.

It seemed appropriate to post this today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tIT8VuZ92c

I actually stumbled onto this link when looking for music for Mike's thread. Unfortunately, my favorite Ashley MacIsaac song isn't on youtube. If you have any interest in celtic funk punk, check him out.

Rather than hacking Mike's AWESOME music thread, I figured I'd start a new one. Music is a huge part of my life. It's probably in the background more than the foreground (because I can't afford to live my life at concerts, dammit) but it's always there. My ex-step-daughter was getting into music when I was with her dad. She and I would scour iTunes and music videos. She probably said to me a dozen times: "is there ANY song you don't know?" I'm always singing along to the radio, or tv commercials, or most songs that pop up in movies or shows.

I did wash my hands! I swear! I know that was the first thing you were thinking.

Got both my nips pierced about 3 weeks ago. They're doing awesome - hardly any crusties, and they're not nearly as tender as they used to be. In fact the other night I took out both barbells to clean them and put them back in. Sleeping nude is no problem a'tall.

Perfect chili weather - and I make a mean vegan crockpot chili. Was all excited that I'd gotten a batch of new spices from Penzeys. I had a can of jalapenos in vinegar. I decided to use those up rather than buy raw ones.

To accompany Mike Hugo’s “History of Halloween” (and after discussion with Mike), I decided to blog a bit about “What is Samhain.” BIG UPS to Mike for his thoughtful and thorough research, and talented wordcraft. I love reading his blogs - they’re always yummy. He mentions some of the traditions of the holiday, and I thought I would provide a pagan’s inside view of why these traditions are honored.

I come from a long line of Irish witches, so the Celtic traditions Mike told us about are part of my heritage. What I write about are my family’s Samhain traditions.
