Oh no, I think it needs addressing. Maybe I could start serializing some Kira/Dax lesbian D/S/M fanfic too. - The Intendent Kira was impressed, despite herself. “You deal with pain well, little girl. You have strength.” “You’ll never break me.”, Ezri hissed through clenched teeth, although every fibre of her being wanted to surrender. “Maybe not.” Kira said, drawing her finger along Ezri’s neck, tracing a line from collarbone to earlobe. “But I’ll have fun trying.” She kissed Ezri once, lightly, a butterfly lighting on her captive’s throat. Ezri closed her eyes and tried not to scream… ---

Sometimes I wonder about people on here. You guys ARE aware that the mods are real people on the other end of the screen, reading what you write about them, yes? So why the hell do you, for no particularly good reason, talk shit about them? God, get a sense of decency and morality. Let’s just all be glad the mods have much thicker skins than I do. ---

God, get a sense of decency and morality. Let’s just all be glad the mods have much thicker skins than I do. 😕 If I met **CajunMan** in real life, and his tone was as it is here, it would grate on me there too, and I expect I’d tell him so. On the bright side, I think my tone would grate on him, too. 🙂 ---

Let’s just all be glad the mods have much thicker skins than I do. Well, it’s not a pit thread without bashing someone and a mod here is the target everyone’s picked. It’s like having a WWF Thanksgiving show and someone not getting hit with a turkey. Someone’s gotta go down. I’d also like to point out that the pit, like the WWF is a place for peculiarly twisted morality and a relative sense of decency. ---

[nitpick] Well, I send all my wildlife charity to the WWF, which seems like a fairly moral thing to do 😉 [/nitpick] Other than that, the mods may be overreacting, but I think they do a great job overall.

> [@](#): > > Troy McClure\*\* said: > The best thing to do would be to e-mail an admin. I think Ed Zotti would be the best, and ask how you’d be allowed to use their copyright. I asked once, and his requirements were perfectly reasonable. (If it’s a bumper sticker, don’t plow your car into a schoolyard at recess.) If the staff makes it patently clear every time there _is_ a real live meeting of Dopers that they in no way sponsor, endorse or otherwise officially link themselves to such meetings, and that they have a constant sticky going around about ‘real life meetings of members’ in which they say basically the same thing, then I’d figure by the SD’s own admission such parites do not belong to it. If that’s the case, how would they even own the copyright on the name NYCMegaDopeFest? Not like they can have it both ways, continually spouting that the parties are unsanctioned but then want merchandising rights to the T-shirts. ---

I sort of imagine Cajun Man’s “tone” to be like that of a Cajun George Hamilton. Tanned to the point of a preternaturalness, sort of like a Thanksgiving turkey basted with a nice honey-butter sauce. Maybe with a bit of cayenne thrown in, to give him a slight ruddiness. Or curry…I mean, curry does work for everything. I’m _this close_ to making a Vindaloo Turkey this year to inflict on my mother…but I digress. However - since he’s a Cajun he wouldn’t be dressed like George Hamilton. Maybe Cajun Man looks just like George Hamilton, but dressed to the nine’s in Dickie’s coveralls and Wolverine boots. Or camo - like if George Hamilton appeared in _Southern Comfort_. He might wear a lot of flannel too. Yes, that suits him more, since he lives so much further North than the hot and sultry bayous he was raised in, he’d have to keep warm. So it is resolved: Cajun Man’s “tone” is honey-butter basted Thanksgiving turkey, with flannel highlights. ---

Okay, you’ve covered Cajun Man’s **tone** – but what about his **connotation**. I think his **connotation** is a robust white sauce, made with drawn butter and just a touch of white wine, delicately flavored with garlic, blackened herbs, and just a hint of mint… 😉 ---

I think his **connotation** is a robust white sauce, made with drawn butter and just a touch of white wine, delicately flavored with garlic, blackened herbs, and just a hint of mint… You’re living in a fool’s paradise, my friend. Cajun Man’s connotation is smooth at first like a cream cheese, but has a bit of fiery aftertaste that makes you think “uh oh…there was something hot in that”. Cajun Man Cajun Peppers 12 Jalapeno peppers 3 oz. Whole-hog Cajun sausage. 2 oz. Philadelphia Cream Cheese 1 tblsp sour cream 1 tblsp minced onion 1 tblsp cayenne pepper or Penzey’s Cajun “Extra Hot” powder 2-4 cloves fine minced garlic 1 tblsp olive oil Tabasco to taste Slice the jalapenos in half, and remove the ribs and seeds. Boil these for for about 10 minutes, then remove from heat and drain. Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the onion and garlic for 5 minutes on medium heat, until soft. Add the Cajun sausage and cook 5-10 more minutes, just making sure it’s fully done. Remove this from the heat. While still warm, stir the cream cheese, sour cream, and cayenne pepper into the onion and sausage. When well-mixed, stuff the jalapeno halves with the mixture, and dust the top with more cayenne. Serve with Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Beer. ---
