Porn free!

'Sister Wolf', an occasional visitor here and a lady possessed of the sort of very sharp teeth that her name implies, has a blog which I have just added to my links.  I gave it three '???'s indicating that the "Content is mostly garbage", but I also gave it three stars because I read it every day!  (Well, it has an awful fascination, if you know what I mean, or perhaps I'm just a masochist because her readers beat me up regularly.)  To be fair it is mostly her commenters, the finest collection of nuts, nerds and dipsticks I have ever come across, who give the Blog its, er, distinctive flavour.  This morning 'Sister Wolf' opened with a post on the subject of "Bad Sex in Literature" and then, horror of horrors, invited her readership to contribute their own best examples of the genre.  I confess, it was early in the morning and I fled before the prospect, but this evening, emboldened by a large Laphroaig, I returned to see what the loonies on her site had come up with.  Oddly enough, hardly anything, but there was a contribution from a Mr. 'Dexter VanDango', whose own pseudonym is so redolent of those used by the old porn writers who used to work for the famous Olympia Press and whose works I devoured with such excitement and fascination so many years ago.  Anyway, Mr. 'VanDango' provided us with a superb and weepingly funny pastiche of old style porn - or perhaps it's contemporary style porn because I don't suppose it changes much over the years!  I urge you all to give it a read.  He is American but has already proved his intelligence, wit and style to me by choosing to live amongst the most pleasant people in the world, the Danes, who have the most drop-dead gorgeous girls in the world!  So, I am about to place Mr. 'VanDango's' blog on my link list.  He's a very, very funny man - and I need the laughs! Go read!

Let me try to get this straight. My blog derives its distinctive flavor from its commenters? And the content is mostly garbage?

My goodness! Where does that leave me?! Here I thought that my blog has a singular tone, or voice, if we're going to be pretentious, that of Sister Wolf. But no, its just some nondescript garbage.

At least it's garbage that you can't get enough of! I'll try to take that as a complement, Mr. Duff.

'Sister Wolf', I'm sorry if I have been overly harsh but you should read, carefully, my rankings code over on the left. Yours is the only blog to achieve 3 stars and 3 question marks, meaning that whilst the content is mostly garbage (to me, that is, although I bet you get many more readers than I do) I still read it daily! To explain, suppose that my blog was mostly filled with posts on football (soccer to you) about which I am, to my distress, becoming somewhat expert these days. Also, suppose that my writing style was lively enough to make even you take a regular interest but that most of your enjoyment, or perhaps, horrified fascination, came from the various cranks, loonies and fanatics who write in comments supporting this or that team. You see, were you to write an entire post on, say, the subject of a black leather dress - oh, bless my soul, you just have! - well, it's not the sort of subject likely to interest an old English codger, like me, but because the way you write has such verve and personality - and honesty - it becomes very readable. And when the loonies take over the asylum, it's irresistable! Sorry, 'Sister', but I'm a fan and you're stuck with me.

Part of the abiding pleasure of Blogdom is the chance it brings to read and converse with all sorts of people with interests and opinions very different from one's own, and the ability at the click of a button, to avoid all the bores and the boors - if only life were like that!

Anyway, can't stop because there are two really, really important soccer matches on today. Have I told you about them? Arsenal vs. Chelsea is a matter of life and death for both teams because, you see, the ... ... zzzz!

[Sister Wolf]

Oh, well, in that cse, carry on, my good man. As it happens, I DO know that Arsenal vs Chelsea is a life and death matter.

Let me know how it turns out.

Arsenal won 2-1, hee-hee-hee! However you should not take my giggles as indicating that I am a 'Gooner' (as Arsenal fans are called) because my re-action would have been identical if Chelsea had won. You see, I am not really a fan of any team which, of course, disqualifies me from being a proper 'footie' fanatic.

Hey? I thought this thread was supposed to be about Dexter VanDango?

[David & Son of Duff]

But I could have sworn, 'Dexter', that you played left-half for the Arsenal!
