Arya's the most badass, but she has some serious morality issues. Also, I'm not in any way badass. I'm going to go with Margaery Tyrell. Smart and willing to do, well, a lot. Apparently Westeros doesn't have the concept of statutory rape, so I guess she's not a rapist. She's also totally gay positive; bonus!

I love to cook. I can't give a one-dish answer as I'd try to understand the particular Mistress's preferences before getting started. Because I've only been messing with sous vide for a few months, my first thought would be 72 hr sous vide short ribs, based on a David Chang recipe. These guys go into the recirculator in a sort-of-complicated Asian marinade with some substantial sweetness, but a good bit of acid to balance it. (I use okinomi-yaki sauce for the sweetness, because I always have that in my fridge.) They are finished, off the bone (easy after 3 days) on super high heat to sear and glaze. Another impressive one is poussin in Calvados cream sauce, Norman style - looks great because everyone gets their own little bird. Pork tenderloin Norman style is also excellent. I like to cook duck when I want to impress people because lots of people never touch duck for home cooking. Some of my favorites are 911 duck (so good it sent a friend to hospital!), duck breast with white pepper and plums and Venetian duck ragu with fresh papardelle. For Mistress Fang, well, I always just wing tomato sauces, though in practice I usually just buy them from Rafetto's on W. Houston, because theirs is as good as mine.

I did an apartment inspection and indeed one is over and one is over. So I really don't notice and don't care. As I said, I'm just switchy; it's all fun.

CBT is also, "Competency Based Training." I had to deal with that professionally without sniggering.

The Simpsons' take on the question. Please note that the opinions expressed in this video do not necessarily reflect my own.

Ah well, I'm just too switchy.

I never notice which way it is.

Interesting question. I pay a lot of attention but I put little or no thought into prediction, in part because I'm looking to be surprised. For me, a huge part of the session is just totally letting go and letting it run its course. But the whole thing is a heightened interpersonal interaction, so yes, I'm paying attention all the time.

Usually when I'm at the Fortress I request "no marks," so, mostly, no lies. The no marks thing is a little unfortunate, because I do sometimes enjoy a good beating. In any case, on one occasion I had a week or so of grace time, and I asked to try caning, which I had once tried, not at the Fortress, in a session that really didn't work out well at all. M. Rey wielded the cane, and I must say, her grouping is admirable. I had a near perfect red rectangle, really quite large, on one ass cheek that turned deep purple within a day or two. A week of healing did not come close to cutting it - it was visible for at least two weeks. I tried to keep my lie simple, dull and unmemorable, "I slipped on the stairs and landed on my butt."

Hmm, I've never really thought about this sort of thing before, but the thread is pretty hot.

Each room has a different vibe. Smaller tools can be brought to any room, so that doesn't matter. Pink, indeed, has most of the sissy equipment (stripper pole!) but that's not my thing and I still mostly like Pink best, for its playful character. Steel has the cage, though. Tatami is smaller so - nowhere to run.

Sorry, I can't get past the (non-human) furniture in that photo.

Oh, sorry, that's a typo. It's "Domina's Pizza."

Of course I like the North Korean ones better.

I have read all the books, but I've only seen a couple of episodes, as I haven't had cable in years.

First Spanish line: All my enemies are sad. First German: I speak languages from Asia and from Europe 2nd Spanish: But we live in the United States, I'm American Spanish/German/English: If you thing this is shit, I don't give a crap. Spanish/English: It was really cool, damn you don't even know (I had to look up "chido" - I'm not good with slang) Spanish/English/Russian: She doesn't tell me "no", they say great. German/Mandarin: I don't make any excuses, (and I don't know Mandarin) Kor/Man/Sp/Ger: Last part is: it's a little hard Man/Ger/Sp: blank "schwierig" blank is also hard, (I'm going to guess this fully reads, "saying `schwierig" right is also hard" Happy year of the sheep!

Being forced to eat their pizza would certainly be punishment.

Huh, funny. I was thinking that's the one I would buy, were I in the market.

Hmm, real small sample for their conclusions. Still, interesting.

I grew up in Canada, and Dildo is famous there. They don't have a town limits sign - the signs get stolen in short order.

I read the piece when it came out. It's interesting, but I can only imagine it depends very delicately on context. Because I'm lazy as anything, I only intervene in groups when it becomes clear no one else is going to do the job.

OK, tell me stuff like this: http://mlpcomicporn.tumblr.com/ isn't at least mildly disturbing. It's hentai, which I don't get, and bestiality, which I don't get, all together. Just in case that wasn't clear enough, NSFW!

No virtual friend can smack anyone's ass. Just sayin'.
