I was looking for a fatal attraction in my life

[venta]

Back from Whitby. There may follow reviewage, but in the interim I need your help on something.

On Sunday, in the course of trying to persuade me to do something, someone who shall remain nameless[*] offered me a blowjob if I complied[**].

Now, I've always been under the impression that this is just not possible. Blowjobs are things which can only be performed on blokes. However, maybe the term has wider use than I thought. There is, of course, only one way to settle such things.

[Poll #1080106]


[*] Mostly because I don't know their name.
[**] If you want to know, I declined.

I consider myself an expert in such matters as I think about little else all day.

When a temporary exchange of a bike happens, one person "borrows a bike" and the other "lends a bike", but neither is objectively "the" active participant and merely the offer to participate in a bike-transaction does not give any clues as to what is going to happen. However, if the offerer is brandishing a big ol' bicycle the direction in which the transfer is intended to occur is clear. It was a cheeky turn of phrase, wittier than bringing the synonymous "a bang in the mouth" to the table, even if the latter leaves less margin for miscomprehension.

If I remember correctly, early safe-sex surveys and education were muddled by the ambiguity about which partner is "doing" said act, particularly when it could be one of two fellows.

If only it was all as straightforward as in the Mike Harding joke where a couple make love against a chip shop door and break it down, but the woman refuses to go halves on the repairs because she was pushing in the opposite direction.

Slightly irrelevantly: I read your comment on my 'got any news' thread a while back, and completely failed to identify you. I could think of two people of your name from said organisation, but wasn't sure which you might be - neither seemed inclined to have such problems with salad. Now I observe from your bio that you're six feet tall, which means I'm even more confused because I don't think either of the two I had in mind is.

So, um, either you're taller than I think you are, or you're someone else. Can you provide any further identifying marks ?

Mmmmm salad.

Hi, I'm a Tommy-vintage role-player: you may remember me from such characters as "Beerbohm Tree" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beerbohm_Tree), "Rolf Wenders" and the narcoleptic weapons merchant "Zoltan Tepesh".

Actually, I'm pretty sure you were not in that last one but after digging through archive.org for ten minutes for the name I thought I would include it anyway. I saw a lot of evidence on players' lists there of people from the mid nineties whose names and characters I remember but whose faces are now a mystery.

Good heavens, are you really six feet tall ? You were indeed one of my candidates.

In that case, hello, and gosh I haven't seen you in ages.

I don't think I'd ever have considered "wimble-vintage" as a description of anyone, but may start...

"wimble-vintage"

Like a fine cheese.

Or indeed a not-particularly-fine one.

Some of my characters were shorter, if that helps...

are you really six feet tall ?
If I stretch, and round halves up. Its more obvious if I'm not standing next to Felix, which may be how you normally saw me.

I'm covered in tzatziki but otherwise current mood = chipper.
