If I ever say something this wild to you, it's because it's my duress phrase, I've been kidnapped and I need your help to rescue me,

which is to say, has anyone checked on Jon Fasman? Does his editor know if he published this from the trunk of a Buick in the pine barrens?

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

Ahh okay, that makes sense. I’m trying to remember the name of someone who was big in the Hans from Frozen fandom before Kylux, I don’t think she posted many fics but she was very active and commissioned a lot of art. Possibly Canadian? Maybe worked in law?

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right)
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?
What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?

Do I have any followers who were around in the first few years of Kylux who are good at remembering user names?

My life is a series of questionable artistic decisions. I made a huge pyramid to display spouse’s Warhammer models for this year’s Armies on Parade

I have been putting together material on 18th century erotica for a class. I'm including the original image but also thought no-one needed to gaze at this guy's dick for ten minutes (he'd be too into that and I don't want to encourage him) so I have made some slight changes.

The good news is that store brand paracetamol only causes an intense interest in trains/ponies/musicals and an unwillingness to smile at gross old guys in supermarkets
