For some reason I read the thread title as “STFU Address”. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > I apologize about putting the uncomfortable idea of covering yourself with honey into your mind. I wouldn’t want you to think about frolicking gaily, naked, in the streets, dripping honey, caressing the cheek of every passer-by with laughter. It’s certainly not my intention for you to imagine being chastised by burly police officers who shake their meaty fists at you as you scamper away, and finally, with strong arms and strong hands, they bring you down to the pavement after a merry chase. What part of, “You make me uncomfortable”, don’t you understand? No means no. ---

I would never attempt to induce in you visions of shirtless, suspendered firemen, connecting that long, thick hose to the hydrant to spray you down with – no, not water, but honey!.. because this (world that I’m not forcing you to imagine) is not our real world, but **doorhinge** ’s special fantasy-place – in which nothing is off limits, not even that muscular, mustachioed delivery guy you’ve had your eye on. I would never do such a thing. ---

Please don’t be embarrassed (or embareassed – which maybe means “imbued with the characteristic of being bare-assed”?) – it’s perfectly natural to imagine swarthy, muscular men dripping honey and dancing for your pleasure.

There is actually nothing wrong with what’s going on in your mind. But, but, but, it’s only taking place in your mind. You only imagine that others must think like you. Transference isn’t a hobby, it’s a disease. I recommend Sea Kelp. And the answer is still - no. ---

I have faith in you, though – you can rise beyond these visions. Only if you want to, though – maybe you’re perfectly happy in this honey-filled world you’ve created.
