Ah Grasshopper...you are now nibbling upon the thigh of Mother S&M.
Tis indeed as I have always Writ, that Pain and Pleasure are but the
same. We all love the Heat, bow down before El Grande's Magnanimous
yet Merciless Self and accept the Capsaicin Thrashing meted out,
gladly. The stigma we fear is too much to bear, but We know, deep down
in the Core of our Souls, that the Mark of El Grande is one of
Strength, and Devotion, as well as Understanding. We Endure.
Now let's all rub leathered parts together! I'm first on the whipping
post!
Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles.......
