Figured you might want to know since I know you copyright and publish your stuff.
So, Contrary, we weren’t just being nitpicking assholes. We were being helpful nitpicking assholes.
I’m actually not sure if Contrary was referring to the nitpicks from Mama Tiger and myself, or the responses he got to his query from ** Sejal_Traurig** and UncleBeer. Either way, I’m not worried, I don’t think I did anything wrong by pointing out that little editorial oversight and if he was referring to my nitpicking I’m not going to lose sleep over it.
Enjoy,
Steven
If one MUST be an asshole, at least one can be a HELPFUL asshole, no?
Wang-Ka, are you sure you’re not Scylla masquerading under another username? I swear, both your stories and his are about the funniest I have read on this forum. Welby is pretty good, too.
As usual a great story!
I have never fantasized about hookers… but then I am mostly a hetero female… but more than that I am a body hygeine freak… god knows when they had a bath!
wanders off to wash hands again
I’ve been to Boy’s Town myself many times. Never paid, never did anything, but witnessed similar things myself with guys I was with. Good read and thanks for the memories:)
Hey, I’d love to take credit for the Great Blimp Story…
…but I didn’t write it.
As to hygiene… well… fantasies don’t need a bath. And when you meet someone who does, well, fantasy doesn’t tend to hold up too well… sigh…
Well done. We should all be so observant of the waters we consider swimming in.
Nicely done, and very funny.
Could I get directions to this place? Not for me, of course. For a friend.
Really.
What?
“Commando Stealth Hooker”
“Attack Hooker”
I’m dying here.
Female thx.
And yes, the overwhelming response to a question by me was unnecessary IMO. But hey, maybe you are not reading this at work and hurrying to get through it /shrug/ And perhaps you never miss a line in the middle of reading. I bow to your obvious superiority.
As always, Wang, I enjoyed your post, you do enliven my day.
Contrary Actually, although UncleBeer may have seen my response, when I replied, no one else had pointed out that the answer had, indeed, been given in the text. And, although it is just my opinion, I don’t think two people responding is anything that can remotely be considered an overwhelming response… But maybe thats just me…
By the way… I AM at work…
::::shudder:::::
Two thumbs up.
A wonderful story.
If you only read one story this summer, this should be it.
WoS
Sejal said, "Good read… But I couldn’t help but think, when I read your title…
Well… DUH!"
Me too. What did you think, they were on a mission from god or something?
Well, like I said, I had hell coming up with a title, here.
“Hookas at da point?”
“Ho’s up, chumps down?”
Several ideas occurred to me, but I always kind of felt that there’s a limit as to how much street jive jargon a white guy can get away with using in one lifetime.
And I was young. I mean, I expected to pay for it, I just never expected it to be quite so… freakin’ … mercenary, you know? Guess I learned better.
And yes, I didn’t edit the thing anywhere near as well as I should have. I wrote the thing in a white heat in an hour, yesterday morning… y’know, when the memories are bubblin’, and it’s get it down or risk losing it?
As it was, I left a BUNCH of stuff out…
Contrary, my apologies. Now that you mention it, I do believe I saw a reference in a previous thread which identified you as female. I will endeavor, probably unsuccesfully, to remember this in the future.
I usually try to use usernames and avoid pronouns in replies to other posters. This allows me to avoid both gender mixups and ensure the targets of my reply clearly know who they are. By the time I had typed [b][/b] the four times for the usernames I had already used I figured pronouns would be easier and I ended up screwing around with your gender. Sorry about that.
Wang-Ka, no biggie. Happy to help with editorial stuff actually. We’ve got several professional editors on the site, our own Ukelele Ike is one IIRC and a fellow Texan Chef Troy is a copy editor for a magazine as well. There is no shame in posting an unpolished work. The editorial comments are actually praise, if we didn’t like the work why would we spend effort helping you make it better?
Enjoy,
Steven
Ooh! Is there a Director’s Cut in the works??
I think Wang-Ka is the me from the parallel universe where I’m witty and interesting. Bravo again, sir.
Yet another Wang-Ka thread bookmarked and mailed out to my buddy list.
