When I met our alpha reader, Teacup, here he was 16 years old and determined to write his first book. He'd read Paolini and knew he had better in him. And he did. But he also couldn't type the word "breast" without getting a nosebleed. English. He wanted help and I didn't see any reason to not...

Gotta say, there's something hot about a man who can whip out familiarity with Medieval Literature on the flip and still look good doing it. /roll d20 - Natural 20. ;)

Everything's plot plot if you do it right. ;)

Sing it. lol I've exhausted my options, I think. Now, it's time to start working toward replacing these two with something a bit more. This is gonna take a little time, but I'm getting two of these and maybe put them both on arms so I'm taking up less of my wife's side of the desk...

Have you ever heard of The Romance of the Rose. It's Middle French (I think?), dripping with overheated metaphors and so very pervy. There are translations.

Oh, I know I can, but there's going to be a shower between every chapter. Unclean. Oh! I can add a nuckalevee.

That's a good thought. I think - hope - that it's the monitors. I can flip them back and forth, and the problem will stick with each of them.

Oh, no. "Tongue" is a perfectly good word, just like "moist." But I don't think most synonyms for it are sexy, like "proboscis." Good, serviceable word. But way not sexy. Okay, this just popped into my head, so you get to suffer with me. Can you just imagine trying to describe sexy and the...

They're both all screwed up. One is hyper saturated and the other is all washed out. That, or I'm going blind. Blargh.

Nope, it's get getting worse and for some reason I can't get the forums to load my pics. It's so bad I have to take pictures with the phone. The right side is ultra-saturated and looks a lot like alien '1970's porno. The other side is so washed out I can't read much of the screen. Neither will...

That is incredibly inconsiderate. I'm so sorry. I grok that frustration. Our nephew likes to use my monster when he's spending time visiting us. He comes for the quiet and stays because I have a nice little collection of games and a Secret Lab chair. lol

You are right, and I just thought of a good solution. It risks slipping over the edge into Grammar Gymnastics, but I think is doable. Just not using "tongue" at all. I think I'd talk around it, so to speak. :D Focus on what it's doing, rather than what it's called.

Nobody gets to touch my computers but me... or my wife when I get stuck. lol I do hardware, she does the software issues. Last time I went to anyone else was when we thought my graphics card was faulty, as we'd only had this computer for a few weeks. Trip to California and back, only thing that...

I had a _huge_ 20 inch CRT monitor in college. Weighed 45lbs. Never again. lol

Could be worse. Could be "tongue." There is no sexy way to get around the fact that "tongue" is the only erotic option available.
