There is now a mark s and a MarkS, and at least two (tho I believe three ) Dave/David Ms. Is this supa-kewl, or a Nissue?

I just morph people into one. DaNed is happy to be treated as a single entity, and I suppose I can put up with being half of Momus.

― Nick, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There need to be more nicknames. When Ned's mate Tom was posting I often caught myself thinking "Blimey did I write that?"

jel says jel's name is james, but jel is unique.

― jel, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I stole a name. This is not my name. There is one person on this thread with my name, and one person with a name almost like it.

So you should all go find a fantasy book name. That is the solution.

DaNed, is it? You must excuse me, for though we are both stunningly handsome and brilliantly talented individuals with wonderful, nay, exquisite taste in music and literature, there is a slight difference in that *he* has the love of his life living with him and I do not. Not that I'm jealous or anything, oh no. *cries copiously* Which reminds me, Dan, get on That List and let Jane know details of your arrival like a good person.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's just that the two of you have achieved critical mass.

― Nick, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Does that mean I'm about to explode and sheer all my matter across the cosmos? Yow.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ned Raggett = the new Wilt Chamberlain.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Better that than the new John Holmes.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would think that having your lips torn off by a puma would be better than being the new John Holmes.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You put it so poetically, as always.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Free association is my best friend.

HOnestly, what did John Holmes bring to the world of porn? 13 inches and buckets and buckets of SLEAZE. Okay, maybe the sleaze was there before, but he really focused the public's attention on it. Well, my attention. Before his public implosion (sorry, just thought of the obvious typo and needed a moment to regroup, where was I?), I thought porn was a celebration of sex that was immense fun for the people involved. I had no concept of working in the sex industry as being demeaning or dangerous. I wish I was 12 again.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

12 years old and gobbling up ideas of porn already? Perv.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, come on. Like you didn't have a friend who stole his older brother's Hustler collection. (What's skeevier than clandestinely flipping through Hustler with your best friend? Clandestinely flipping through Hustler with your best friend and coming across a section of the magazine where the pages are stuck together, but continuing to read it.)

― Dan Perry, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've said it before, Mr Perry, but I feel it necessary to point out yet again that you are a grim bastard.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Silly boy. I circumvented the situation and directly stole the Playboy belonging to the older brother of my friend.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh come on, EVERYBODY looks at porn the first chance they get. My mother's equivalent of the Sock Drawer was drawer in nightstand table FULL of embossed Fabio-cover books and the complete ouevre of Jackie Collins. Which we read like so: yada, yada, yada, SEX SCENE; yada, yada, yada, SEX SCENE. Ooooh. *Tch, pass that here! No, I can hear the car in the driveway!*

My grandfather's basement contained quite a few early '60s Playboys. We so had to look at these. Grandfather said they belonged to uncles, uncles cited grandfather.

Preferred words to pictures damn near every time, even when words were possibly even more aesthetically clumsy than the pix.

Oh, the question at hand? There is no other me, not even on ILE. As for everyone who has name dupes, trust me, I can tell who most people are by their structure, para length, etc.

No there's only one DavidM and that's meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I've just changed my e-mail address is all.

― DavidM, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Skeevier still was the expedition my friend and I launched at age 13 to the local gravel pit because we knew there had been builders there and BUILDERS = PORN as far as we were concerned. We thought they might have left a few mags - we found one waterlogged copy of Men Only which obviously predated the builders by several centuries and we took it home with us.

When I was 12 my friend and I made a vibrator but I'll save that tale for another post.

― Tom, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I should note that my surprise is not youthful Dan's precocious hormones per se but his appreciation of porn star aesthetics at 12. That takes some doing. ;-)

For reasons known only to himself, my schoolfriend AG [no rel'n to our own of identical initials], who greatly resembled Beeker in the Muppets, once dug a tunnel into the town rubbish dump, where he by chance unearthed a binbag of SERIOUS DUTCH PORN!! This = 1975: he = me = 15. This wuz NOT Playboy or Penthouse of that date: I had encountered them, and merely disapproved, they were just naked gurls pulling daft faces/poses. This was SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY. 2M/1F action at that age, outside ALL POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE OR IMAGINATION was, um, not sexy at all. We thumbed the (unstuck-together) pages in stunned uneasy fright. In the pix where she wore anything, she wore gingham, blue and white, which somehow placed it entirely in the realm of the Unreal.

― mark s, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(Um, "outside all possible experience or imagination": this is a bit narrow-minded of me, I suppose. Poss.many many 15-yr-olds in 1975 cd claim otherwise, in both areas: but I cannot stress enough that we in AG's small circle of confidantes moved that afternoon from anticipatory glee to appalled ghastly gloom extremely quickly. I don't know what he did with it, but it never reappeared. It was of course perfectly mild in comparison with stuff all over the net...)

― mark s, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I used to get into Big Trouble with clean-living parents of classmates because I thought tawdry mainstream porn was FUNNY. We'd be driven to the cineplex in cars and passing through downtown Mpls, I'd say things like 'Look, these movies only cost 25 cents!' Glares from parent running the carpool but I loved winding up the easily shocked.

As for the weird stuff, books again. Neighbours had ONE book with strange bestial passages/multiple partners and of course there was the odd family with The Joy Of Sex which I think was issued to all families who listened to NPR and foisted wheat germ on their kids.

Also, as relayed before, Uncle Cop was head of local Vice Squad; when he got his job I looked up Vice in dictionary. He was very up-front about what job entailed.

― suzy, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dude, when I was 12, I couldn't think of a better job than adult film star. Then I learned about STDs and the crime associated with the pron industry and writing computer programs suddenly seemed like a good idea.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No there's only one DavidM and that's meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

What about the room mate nookie thread?

― Nick, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(DavidM inbadway ¬= Dave M pton mwaah)

― mark s, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That's what I thought. But DaveMinbadway specifically referred to the other DaveM in his seminal 'gave her a portion' post on the roommate nookie thread so I got confused by what he said above. Is DaveMinbadway's surname Merryweather?

― Nick, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes. Don't you read ILM any more? Or are you just King Slowpoke?

― mark s, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't even want to know what that means.

― Nick, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

King ... Slow ... Poke?

That should DEFINITELY be on the Josh-fueled vibrator threads.
