I'm a chubby chaser, I admit it. I'm not saying you could lose a few,
While I initially found the idea of being with a hunchback adventurous, the reality of it proved otherwise. I should have known something was up when you chose "Anschluss" as the safe word, and then proceeded to demand perfect dialectic Bavarian pronunciation or "no dice" as you put it. It was painful watching you laboriously stuff yourself into that latex suit, much the same as it would be to watch a whale get harpooned solely for its oil content. It was both startling and sad, and had me wondering why the universe was so cruel. And there was little I could do to help seeing as how I was tied down. After two and a half hours of watching you thrash about, for the entirety of the deed to last for less than ten minutes was a let down to be sure. Then the table broke. I've had better sex with myself, Sredni, but I'm up for it again I guess.

It's smoke.
At some point, a cigar just becomes a cigar. The reports were posted by the sheriff's office. To conflate that further is to begin to leave the realm of likelihood.

That's certainly true now, but I wouldn't want to get on the same plane as him in the years immediately following the fatwa. Anyway, are you suggesting that Rushdie made the whole story up for some fucked-up reason? You are such a cynical bastard sometimes!
No, he didn't make it up. He just knew how unlikely it was for anyone to act on it. If Rushdie was really concerned about it, he'd have hung up the writing career. Instead he made a fortune from the fatwa. I don't blame him for that, but it simply is what it is. He risked it to continue making a comfortable living.

Well, if you have a regular Sunday afternoon squash game, and then you find out your mother has just dropped dead, it's normally considered acceptable to break with routine once in a while. Under the circumstances, he should have known better than to carry on regardless. And he should also have considered the repercussions, if he was currently living in such a state of terror, as he claims.
If I lived in a desert that only saw snow once every few decades (how nice that must be) and it started falling, and there hadn't been an incident in a while, I'd have risked it. I think any reasonable person would understand that.

Stop muscling in on my cash cow! I knew something funny was going on when I read that report about the St Louis Mayo shortage. I see that you are trying to sweeten the deal by throwing in a few favours to lure the old boy away from me.
If I wanted to muscle him away from you, I'd buy a month's supply of microwavable pre-packaged TV dinners and I'd have him. While it might take quite a while to recoup the funds, perhaps years, it would eventually happen with youtube revenue being so high for a man of his caliber.
So let me run this one by you. We go back to the shark idea and remake Jaws as a porno. I'm thinking about the working title "Jowls". You play the Richard Dreyfuss character, I'll be the old sea captain, and Falkie gets to be the shark. We'll keep it simple. All we need is a rowboat and the marijuana. Not sure where we'll fit Kirstie Alley, both in character and physically. But I'll think of something. What say you?
It was not an attempt, it was a success!
