shirtless, tied-up cowboys

oiranI hadn't checked my stats on my website for a week or so, and was surprised to see that a huge number of hits have registered in the last ~30 hours or so. When I looked further to see what the relative excitement was all about, I wasn't able to tell specifically (though it's always nice to know that people are interested and reading), but I did notice that someone did a search for "shirtless tied-up cowboys" and got me. Heh. It's very likely this is due to the story Midnight Cowboys, but I can't help picturing Clark and Lex wearing leather chaps and cowboy hats, Clark tied to the fence and Lex menacing him with a branding iron while wearing some of those cool, fringed, Dale Evans-style gauntlet gloves. Oh, and I'm there, too: dressed like a 40s pinup and wearing, of course, red cowboy boots.
Other oddness: there is another Velvetglove who writes fanfic, but it appears to be about Transformers. Aren't Transformers those little cars and boats and planes that turn into robots? I considered putting a note on my site that would draw a firm line between my alien/billionaire porn and someone else's toy robot porn, but I decided that would constitute a case of pushing the ridiculous even further away from the sublime, and thus I am leaving things as they are.
You were right,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nerodi--this show is crack: America's Next Top Model: Okay, I watched this for the first time last week, and then I saw it last night, and I love this show. It's excruciating! If Shandi doesn't win the entire thing, I'll be very surprised. She actually reminds me of a boobless Gisele Bundchen - Gisele had the close-set eyes and big nose thing going on when she started as a model, and obviously it didn't hurt her career any. Shandi's main problems seem to be insecurity and immaturity. She's a mousy skeleton from nowhere with a dorky gay boyfriend...and then suddenly she's a glamorous model-in-training. Mercedes is the nicest, Yoanna has the most beautiful face, and April is so determined to do this right that she's going to grind her teeth down to little nubs. Shandi's going to win, though. It's obvious.
They love the color. Thank god.
Sending out good wishes to both Hope and AKA Hope.

The good guys (theAutobots) all transform into vehicles. Optimus Prime (red guy) becomes a big Mack truck.
The bad guys (the Decepticons) transform into [cooler!] weapons. Megatron (grey guy) becomes a gun.

Date: 2004-03-03 01:32 pm (UTC)I find all the anime and cartoon stuff somewhat inexplicable at this point in my life, though I must admit I planned to marry Speed Racer (and Captain Kirk) in those heady, pre-kindergarten days when the line between animated and real was nonexistent.

Date: 2004-03-03 01:37 pm (UTC)Oh that's clever my dear. Out yourself as somebody else before anyone can pin it on you. Yes, there's this other "Pun" out there who writes Brady Bunch slash. So weird. No idea how it happened. La, la, la.

Date: 2004-03-03 01:44 pm (UTC)And, btw, I am only now cognizant of your recent sartorial change. Congratulations on the belt! Did you get a purse to match?
And I might come to NYC in May, in which case I do still want you to kick me.

Date: 2004-03-03 10:31 pm (UTC)You bet! But I, uh, I mean, the other Pun mainly writes Bobby/Pa Brady. She's a real sicko.
Congratulations on the belt! Did you get a purse to match?
Thank you! I don't carry a purse. I suppose I could get a matching bag for my sparring gear. That might be kinda cool. I painted my toenails black as well and plan to keep them that way for awhile.
And I might come to NYC in May, in which case I do still want you to kick me.
Oh jed, you make it sound so kinky! It would be amazingly wonderful if you came to New York. Think about what kicks you want me to use. *g*

Hopefully, one would have little to no chance of confusing the two.
Transformer slash? Ewww...

Date: 2004-03-03 03:05 pm (UTC)Oh, I don't know, all those interlocking parts might be sexay. Plus, they keep themselves WD-40'd all the time, so none of the awkward lubing issues.

Oh, that's just funny as hell...more than meets the eye, indeed.
