HOW SOON IS NOW.................

by eggbod @ 26. Sep 2007 – 22:45:17

So................

How do we know when we are no longer young anymore?

Flailing against the tides of not time but technology. Jargon, lingo, Topshop and terminal trivia. Shite! Serviceless but with a smile. The Happy Eater and Happy Meal, the "have a nice day", and "missing you already" ethos. The "tell-me-how-I'm driving" and the "I'm sorry I missed you" post card.......................are these the tell-tale signs of the irritable old not irritable bowel syndrome? The smiley emoticons and shiftless shite served up via the TV screen.

I found a book today by a certain Mr Christopher Brookmyre. Anyone who has watched and enjoyed LA Confidential based on the novel by Elmore Leonard will know of his dark. violent yet humourous style. He expressed these similar jaded sentiments regarding a world in the grip of service without meaning apart from one expression: Blow job! Thus entitled otherwise it would be called blow hobby and if it was called blow hobby then it would be free to a greater or lesser degree.

You might even consider adding it to the bottom line on your CV.

  Hey Restless Sinner, I'm about to embark on "quite ugly one morning"........if I may
  
  "Jesus Fuck"
  
  ...Inspector McGregor hadn't sworn at a discovery for ages, perfecting instead a resigned, fatigued expression that said, "Of course. How could I have possibly expected anything less?".......
  
  Sorry that is rather indulgent of me but consider it a book at bedtime.
  
  Angelique I believe inhabits another novel called "the fine art of stealing".... the origins of the perky blow job

    Ohh... Sarah Slaughter dear, your CB knowledge is so encyclopaedic I feel tears of admiration just welling up!
    
    Your Rebel tastes are slightly more limited tho' coz,
    
    It can't be known what lies in wait,
    For those of us in crippled states,
    A broken mind is no escape..
    
    Naturally I can't refer to blow jobs in public so I'll confine myself to coito ergo sum....
    
    Btw: Beware of Stephen Lime he works for the NHS

    A Fine Book. Made into a 2 hr BBC show with James Nesbitt a few years back. Show not quite true to plot but not bad. He's written some excellent books, I've got aboout 4 or 5 of them I think (bookshelf is 200 miles North of me at the moment so cant check). Very Scottish humour and some fucking excellent swearing.

Mr Brookmyre is brilliant - I think I've read all his books - he has such a wonderful dark and sardonic wit

What's going on with you and Moondancer? Why is it called a blow job and not a suck job? the Foxy Chick and me have just discovered biscuit blow jobs, take a chocolate covered Penguin (Not a real Penguin silly) bite off the diagonally opposed corners dip one corner into your tea and suck the other corner like a ten bob whore until the tea comes into your mouth then shove the whole biscuit into your mouth and experience an Orgasm of shear pleasure, NEARLY AS GOOD AS THE REAL THING FOR US BLOKES

  Do keep up Bradders!
  
  Moonie and I met up on a Led Zeppers tour bus way back. I'm the love child of Robert Plant hence my epic knowledge of all things musical.
  
  Blow job: a description of devastating pleasure or pain. To be blown away whilst on the job. This could mean being fired, being blown up or experiencing fellatio whilst clocking on!!
  
  And if you mention that feckin biscuit trick one more time I shall send you off to the circus
