KK is master and slave.

Ahhh, the crack of the whip! Ooooooo, the feel of the lash!

Let's face it, all philosophy leads to s&m.

for a few years my favourite surf publication was the book of big surf - i think tracks published it some time in the mid-eighties. the dozen or so contributors told stories about their early experiences of big surf and how they came to love big surf. i hope i'm not mixing this up with something i read somewhere else, but one story that stuck in my mind was mike newling's. newling said something like 'if you check the surf and it looks out of control and impossible to paddle out in but somewhere out there you see one rideable wave come through - one wave you can picture yourself taking off on and surfing across, then you have to get out there and give it a go.' nothing else a surfer said has ever stuck in my mind like those words of newling's, or at least the idea they express, since i don't remember them exactly. now i don't quite know what i want to say, but i think that if the worst poser could experience such a moment of awareness - awareness of the possibility of his relationship with a single wave and of his obligation towards that possible relationship - then he could leave posing behind, at least for a moment or two. hmmm i seem to have got into a mess, what the hell.

Nick and Cliff.
I was banished from the The Hellfire club in the city because of my excessive whipping cappers.Apparently my pet "cat o nine tails" was seen as a little to over the top.
It was a ruff time for old KK.I wondered the streets late at night looking for people to be whipped. I even put out an ad in the local newspaper.It read " local guy looking for slaves to whip ferociously with a cat o nine tails" No one responded :cry: .

Part of my report card. I have a love of thinking.

Nah, I ment it as a compliment if anything. Easy to see the swell has dropped off.

KKK feels the need to show his credentials as a cracked philosopher. I think he does it in every post.

Only a B in existentialism, I am f**ken SHOCKED.

Perhaps I should not go near "culture" any more, but I will now attempt a definition of "poser":

A person who in communication with others adopts an appearance or attitude at deliberate odds with his or her experience, in order to gain a social advantage.

Top THAT Sir Clifton if ye dare, sirrah.

Too verbose. You just need;

A person who behaves affectedly.
