I'm slowly working on a story where a man gives a woman an orgasm in a public place without touching anything but her hand. Unfortunately, I get very little writing time and this one has been percolating long enough to turn Maxwell House into espresso.

And congrats on the "H" rating. Good for you.

pfft. when you're a yankee fan, there doesn't have to be any appeal. history speaks for itself. i mean, in any given aspect of life, wouldn't you want to be aligned in any way you could with the best there ever was?

LOL!

This new tale sounds loov-lie! Please do notify the press, erm, us when it's up. "I'm your biggest fan, MWY!!"

Seriously, I really do need to put up some of my stuff. It's doing me absolutely no good packed away in some old journal, and it could be good fodder for just the right person. It's a public service I'm performing, I'm telling ya!

Key word here is was.

hmph.

sticks and stones may break my bones, but come back and talk to me when the redsux have won 26 world series titles and half of the league championships since their inception.

Typcial bandwagon sports fan. Makes me wonder if you would still be a Yankees fan if they had only won one WS. That would be the definition of a true fan.

i started my fan-ship in the mid-80's when they sucked shit... and i stuck with them for ten years before they STOPPED sucking shit. before that i wasn't the least bit interested in baseball. the mystique, the legend, the history all grabbed me even in spite of their play in those early years.

btw... i meant to say half the DIVISION titles, not league championships. my bad.

I've been trying to define the appeal of baseball but find it hard to describe.

There's so many things. The nostalgia of the game. There's the history of baseball (which reminds me, I need to get to Cooperstown again this year). The chatter of the crowd. The crack of the bat.

don mattingly said that the hardest thing to do in professional sports is to hit a round ball with a round bat. so i think that's part of it too, metaphorically speaking to an extent.

And there's plenty of minor league teams around to catch a decent game on the cheap too.

minor league games ROCK. they do so much fun shit between innings and pre-game. most minor league parks even do a catered picnic buffet thing for small groups (say 30 or more people) and i've never been to a bad one of those yet.

Good for you, ed! since I'm lazy, can you post a link?

Most of my current stuff has become landfill fodder. How come I know what I want it to be in my head, but somewhere between my brain and the keyboard things get muddled?

Not enough chocolate, the batteries in all your favorite toys are running low, your TV is stuck in a time warp and Ed Sullivan is still on, there's a Bush running the country - hell, I could think of good excuses all night.

Controlling what happens between the brain and the keyboard is what you learn by doing. Most importantly, write when you write and edit when you edit. I find that if I slow down long enough to let myself read anything that I am writing the for the first time then I start to edit and the pictures that formed in my mind evaporate before they reach the page.

Let it flow, baby, let it flow.

I can't write sex stories and it's George Bush's fault? Works for me.

question for anyone:

What is your willpower's biggest strength and/or weakness?

It sounds like you're asking where we are best able to exercise our willpower and where it fails on us the worst, right?

For me, willpower is all about fatty foods. I can deny myself almost any kind of food as long as I'm not depressed. I watch my fats intake quite carefully and have developed the ability to say "no" to almost any fatty food. There is this weakness for french fries, though. I regularly charge my children a small "commission" when I buy them a meal that includes french fries. French fries are where my willpower fails me most often. Some days I would gladly choose great french fries over good sex.

That is a most excellent question. Baseball is BORING. It's boring on TV, and it's even more boring at the ball park. I've never understood the appeal.

Now as to the willpower question, I agree with Yank. Not with fries, but sweets. Chocolate to be precise. I have a bag a Hershey's kisses in the kitchen that is screaming my name, and I'm doing my best to ignore it, but at some point in the near future, I know I'll succumb to temptation. It's not only about eating chocolate, it's about being able to set reasonable limits. Only one Hershey's kiss is nearly impossible.

this willpower question is quite intriguing.

it's my belief that most people have very strong willpower. even with things like M&M's, fatty foods and the other things that have been mentioned. if you think about it, you may have binged on them but you returned (i'm sure) to your normal routine in short order.

i think that any break in our willpower is swiftly overcome and i think we have to look at it that way (accentuate the positive and all that kinda shit). if our willpower wasn't strong we'd all be crack addicts or something.

for me, regarding food, i'm so proud of myself every time a have a cheat day (or month... like i did from thanksgiving to christmas) and am able to rebound immediately when choose. i'm sure that sounds conceited but i'm genuinely proud of that.
