Thank you SnowMinx for lighting up the blogs today with this challenge.

I could hardly get away without participating,

so please do your best (or worst) to:

Define Me In One Word

Thank you to the most beautiful, delightful, humorous, and intelligent ButterfliesAndCuffs for this challenge.

The connection between these two songs is kinda right in the titles. But there are many other things, like the influence AIC had on TPR that you can hear in a lot of their songs. And of course the Chris Cornell (RIP) connection.

Now go enjoy some badass Rock n Roll!

A few days ago ButterfliesAndCuffs issued a challenge that I'm finally getting around to posting my response to.

Ooops!

I don't feel quite as bad (🫣) though...

 Probably because of the busy holiday season, though a bunch of people commented on her actual post, only one person posted an accepted challenge of their own. So at least I wasn't the only one.

Whew!

But now we can!

Ok everyone, here is the original challenge. Here is my response. Now it's your turn!

I chose this picture:

And here is the story, told as a dialogue between 2 men in a club:

A curious man enters a dark club, his first time in this place, and approaches a club regular in a cowboy hat who is holding what the man correctly assumes is a remote-control device. About 10 feet from them is a beautiful woman straddling a wildly moving machine that seems to be a bit too tall for her as her feet are off the ground by several inches. The mechanism is rapidly and sporadically moving up and down, spinning, jerking from side to side, but she expertly holds on and contines the ride. As the woman is momentarily bounced up on the mechanism the curious man notices that she is being penetrated by 2 loudly buzzing and vibrating devices attached to the saddle-shaped seat. He moves to speak to the man in the cowbot hat:

Man: "So is this one of them machines I've seen in all them movies?"
Ride Controller: "Depends on what kind of movies you been watching."
Man: "Oh you know the kind, the ones with real cowboys wearin' them big mustaches and partial chaps except in the back. They sometimes brawl and challenge and ride each other on a getup might be something like yours here."
Ride Controller: "Yep, the very same. And I know the parties you're talking about, too. My old man had one of these contraptions, and him and his buddies would get together and take turns ridin' each other on it, see who could last the longest before getting jerked off."
Man: "I aint never seen one in person before. Can you show me how the controls work?"
Ride Controller: "Simple. You get the rider all straddled and strapped on, then these controls jerk them back and forth and up and down; around and around and in and out and all over, harder and faster as the person with the controls turns it up or changes it or whatnot."
Man: "Yep that's the one from the cowboy movies all right. Sometimes the ridin' gets so loud that a cop has to show up to crash the party but instead ends up runnin' them controls hisself. But who's that there ridin' it now? She looks familiar...
Ride Controller: "Local girl, real friendly. She's in here most every day, you've probably seen her before."
Man: "Poor little lady's in for a shock then - only real cowboys is able to handle a machine like that."
Ride Controller: "Well... My old man always said 'Not even a cowboy can pause mid-piss'. Never really understood what that had to do with this type of contraption here but he would tell about how nobody caint never always control all their urges all the time. How even the hardest cowboy with the thickest leather will eventually give in and get jerked off."
Man: "Hmm.. wise man, your pa. So what is the longest any cowboy's ever been able to ride this thing before they finally came off?
Ride Controller: "17 seconds at level 13. Thats been the record in these parts and everyone's always said it cain't be broken"
Man: "Wow, pretty impressive. So what's that girl doin' mounted up on there anyways?"
Ride Controller: "Provin' 'em all wrong."
Man: "What do you mean? How long has she been on that thing?"
Ride Controller: "Just over 3 hours."
Man: "3 hours???
Ride Controller: "Yep."
Man: "And she's on level 10???"
Ride Controller: "Oh, no. Nope - she's up to level 73."
Man: "What - LEVEL 73?! How??? The pressure from holding on, the temptation to get off, what's her secret?
Ride Controller: "Dunno. She ain't spoke a word since level 28, screaming like she was possessed for a while, but ain't made a single sound since about level 36. Last thing she said that made any damn sense at all was right around level 19."
Man: "And what was that?"
Ride Controller: "I asked her if she was ready to give in and get off? After a moment her breathing slowed and she looked right at me with eyes all spaced out, smiled, and quietly said 'Dude - I'm not gonna be a cowboy!' Whatever that means."

The End

To you -

On this day we celebrate my favorite person in the world on the occasion of your birthday.
Over the past 2+ years you have taught me what it means to be a better friend, person, Dom, and man.
I thank you. and I love you.
Happy Damn Birthday!!!

Thank you to again to Purĕ for this fun challenge which unfortunately I probably waited just a little too late to participate in.

Nevertheless, one person did actually guess the lie! Here again were the choices along with the Big Reveal at the end:

1. One of the most questionable places I've had sex was inside a burning building. (Yes, while it was on fire.)
I was 18 and living in my first apartment. one day I was in the bedroom with my girlfriend and we were so busy making dirty dirty sex that we failed to noticed the smell and noise coming from the other side of the door. It wasn't until we finished that I realized the shared wall between the bedroom and the kitchen was hot. When I ran out I found that fire had broken out in the kitchen and spread. Thankfully there were no injuries but the kitchen cabinets were all burned down, the paint and carpet in the living room was melted and charred from the flames, and the walls throughout the rest of the apartment were burned black from the smoke.

2. When I was 19 I had sex with a high school girl while at church. (Before you judge let me explain...)
She was 18 years old so it was legal, but she was still in high school so it was still all hot and nasty and taboo! We took her parents van, drove to the closest place we could find that was as far away from her parents house as we could stand to wait, and parked. We made dirty dirty sex in the back of the van and a couple hours later we opened the back doors to find that we had been fucking in some lame church parking lot. (I said AT church not IN church you heathens!)

3. My first and last names are the same as, but in the reverse order, of the stand-in for an adult film actor from the 70's. (I know, I didn't know they used stand-ins either.)
Turns out that after he was done making dirty dirty porn sex he went on to become a high profile public defense attorney in the town where one of my high school friends grew up so he was familiar with the guy's name. Fucker gave me shit about that for years. Not about the porn part, that was fine - but about being "named after" the STAND-IN!

And the answer is

1. - True. And I actually lived in that place for 6 more months after that.

2. - True. And she was a virgin which makes it a little dirtier.

3. - Lie! Total, completely made up horseshit nonsense. And I'm pretty proud of that.

Thank you to Purĕ for this neato challenge that I decided to wait until after the last moment to take part in. But I have enjoyed everyone else's posts, and have even guessed a few of them correctly!

These are my three. You can guess from these short versions, or if you would like a fuller explanation of each I included those below.

Good luck, good guesses, and thanks for playing:

1. One of the most questionable places I've had sex was inside a burning building. (Yes, while it was on fire.)
2. When I was 19 I had sex with a high school girl while at church. (Before you judge read the explanation below.)
3. My first and middle names are the same as, but in the reverse order of the stand-in for an adult film actor from the 70's. (I know, I didn't know they used stand-ins either.)

And now, the explanations, with greater detail:

1. One of the most questionable places I've had sex was inside a burning building. (Yes, while it was on fire.)
I was 18 and living in my first apartment. One day I was in the bedroom with my girlfriend and we were so busy making dirty dirty sex that we failed to noticed the smell and noises coming from the other side of the door. It wasn't until we finished that I realized that the shared wall between the bedroom and the kitchen was hot. A fire had broken out in the kitchen and spread. Thankfully there were no injuries but the kitchen cabinets were all burned down, the paint and carpet in the living room was melted and charred from the flames, and the walls throughout the rest of the apartment were burned black from the smoke.

2. When I was 19 I had sex with a high school girl while at church. (Before you judge let me explain...)
Ok, that was intentionally misleading which is why it needs an explanation: She was 18 years old so it was legal, but she was still in high school so it was still all hot and nasty and taboo! We took her parents van, got really stoned, drove to the closest place we could find that was as far away from her parents house as we could stand to wait, and parked. We made dirty dirty sex in the back of the van and a couple hours later we opened the back doors to find that we had been fucking in some lame church parking lot. (I said AT church not IN church you heathens!)

3. My first and last names are the same - but in the reverse order - as the stand-in for an adult film actor from the 70's. (I know, I didn't know they used stand-ins either.)

Since I am late to this challenge and we have already moved on to new ones I suppose I shouldn't wait too long to reveal the results. I'll post the answers soon.

Thank you to Kit for this irritating challenge hahaha! 10 compliments to myself? Hmmm...

1.

I am freakin' hilarious! - As the funniest, most wiseassy person I know, I can be all alone and still make myself laugh by just making up funny shit. My dirty slut is a close second, and I'd rather do everything with her, but I am a fucking riot all by myself.
2.

Other people like me too. - I am not a party person yet somehow I can walk into a room and own the crowd inside of 10 minutes. It's weird, and I'm not sure why or how, but people are drawn to me.
3.

Brains beotch! - I am super, super intelligent! Or educated. Whichever.
4.

I am musically multitalented. I started playing piano when I was 4, took a couple years of lessons between 8-9, and using that knowledge taught myself 4 more instruments by the time I was 16. Since then I have picked up 2 more, though I don't play those well (yet). I also write original music.
5.

I am a talented writer. I was always reading, writing, and playing music as a child. I originally went to college to become a music teacher but I changed my focus to English because I decided to become a middle-school English teacher instead. Along the way I just got good at it, top of my classes, teacher's pet, all that nonsense. Except for music it is my greatest creative passion.
6.

My love for children. This is the biggest part of why I wanted to be a middle-school teacher. I have always had a very easy connection with children, which is what would have made me a good educator. One of the very few regrets I have is that I never had children. I would have been a great father, which may be a little odd considering I had a terrible childhood. Or perhaps that is exactly why I would have been?
7.

I am very good at my job. - My profession requires an ability which fortunately I have naturally so I am well suited to it, I do it very well, and I really enjoy it!
8.

I'm proud to be humble. - My belief is, that though it often requires great strength and humility to say "I am wrong" or "It is my fault" there is greater value in admitting it anyway.
9.

I really, really care. - I am one of those irritating people who feels like he has to support and protect and take care of and save everyone and be the hero all the time. Everybody needs one of those people, though it can get very exhausting. Which brings us to 10...
10.

I finally learned how to be selfish. - It sounds strange to say that out loud. I found myself at a point where suddenly I had no one that absolutely needed me, or who I had to answer to; no one who I felt compelled to try to save, or who couldn't live without me. So for the first time since I was... a lot younger, I decided that it was time to for me to go do whatever the fuck I wanted. It took a while to stop wondering if I wasn't doing the wrong thing, but I learned. And I'm happier now!

There I was able to come up with 10, though I had some inspiration from a wonderfully filthy little slut I happen to own and operate and love!

Thank you to Pure for the original challenge!
A slutty little sub I know suggested that I might enjoy this challenge.

So we dug through 100's of pics and came up with some of my hands:

1. From last year when she showed me how to release a fragile, just emerged butterfly into the wild.

2. Treating a similar creature a little less gently. Look at that scared look in her dreamy eye. I live for that!

3. Using my fingers to coerce beautiful sounds from one of my most prized possessions.

That was a fun challenge!

RIP Gary Wright

People from my generation will definitely know, and probably have gotten really stoned to this classic.

Thank you to Satindragon for this challenge!

What to choose...

This was a fun one but I ended up with 5 songs by bands that no one else will likely have heard of doing lengthy awesome progressive rock versions of what were originally 3 - 4 minute songs.

Instead I chose the classic "Jane" by Jefferson Starship, a song I have always loved, which is weird because I never liked anything else they ever did in any incarnation of the band, ever.  

Enjoy!

(CAUTION: Avoid looking directly at the creepy guitarist. Really. Trust me.)

And the terrible, lip-synced, unofficial music video by the actual band:
