the Hedgehog Song by Aeidhryn on 2010-11-04 02:33:00 UTC Reply

Let's all contribute stanzas for a version of the fabled Nanny Ogg hedgehog song! Come on, people! Use your rhyming skills!

(Discworld Wiki: http://discworld.wikia.com/wiki/Gytha_Ogg) there's a short section on the Song

And here's a version

Temptation to do character-specific verses is overwhelming. by Laburnum on 2010-11-07 12:02:00 UTC Reply

I suck at songwriting, but if I didn't I'd be doing individual verses for the fuzzy-type PPC characters. Not the M-kids, obviously, but the others. Somehow I doubt any of them except Drake would appreciate it :)

I can't wait to get more over-the-top goodness! Show 'em what you got, girl!
Why not try? by Sister-to-the-Queen on 2010-11-07 13:01:00 UTC Reply

I didn't think I'd get anywhere at first, but once I got started, the lines just rolled out of my fingers, so to speak. Just go for it. You may be surprised at what you manage to turn out.

I understand the fun rhymes and all, and I'm not saying I don't enjoy the ridiculousness, but I can't believe I didn't notice that before! Doh *facepalm*

Normally, I'd agree. Sodomy is, in my opinion and that of every sane person, one of the sickest sexual deviations imaginable. Any piece of writing depicting it as a happy good thing should be shot on sight, and then some. The Hedgehog Song, however, should be taken as the totally, totally over the top dirty ditty it is. It's the funny rhymes that count. I mean, come on, snails? Whales? Snakes? Bats? Dude. Seriously. I really don't think the people who wrote their own versions of the song would ever condone such things. As stated above, I sure as hell wouldn't.

Try thinking of it that way. I hope you'll feel better.

Hey, wait a minute... by Sister-to-the-Queen on 2010-11-05 21:53:00 UTC Reply

We are clear on the fact that I meant sodomy as in 'human-on-animal', right? And not as in 'consensual heterosexual or homosexual activity', right?

No, that wasn't clear. by PoorCynic on 2010-11-06 05:26:00 UTC Reply

Had you said 'bestiality,' I would've understood.

I'd guess not. by Makari on 2010-11-06 00:44:00 UTC Reply

According to the cursory research I've done on the topic, sodomy can be a whole heck of a lot of different things. A lot of what matters is location and local laws.

And by cursory research I mean wikipedia.

*nods* That's where I meant after I started to suspect something. Boy, was my face red.

And thanks for pointing my mistake out to me by Sister-to-the-Queen on 2010-11-05 10:47:00 UTC Reply

It's just amazing from how many different angles one can look at things, eh?
You're right, and I apologize by Sister-to-the-Queen on 2010-11-05 10:10:00 UTC Reply

It is true that Your Kink Is Not My Kink.

I know it's not an excuse, and I'm not attempting to pass it off as one, but I'm so incredibly easily squicked by anything that is not vanilla (you know what I mean) that I simply took what I said for granted. I hope you'll be able to forgive me for this.

Though I have more problems with the statement that anyone who doesn't think it is 'one of the sickest sexual deviations imaginable' is not sane.

Or not by Sister-to-the-Queen on 2010-11-05 20:39:00 UTC Reply

Seems like I sorted myself out a lot faster than expected. Happens sometimes. Ah well, a couple of hours counts as 'a while', doesn't it?

Heh heh. Ah, good times.
Addendum to my last by Sister-to-the-Queen on 2010-11-05 10:32:00 UTC Reply

And I'll probably have it a whole lot easier if, in the future, I simply ignore kinks that I consider weird.

Okay, I blew it big time. Again.

I'm going to follow your advice and switch to comfortably lurking for a while, until I get myself (and my hang-ups) sorted out, so to speak.

Bye for now!

I've never read anything discworld related until then, and it wasn't until near the end that I realized what it was about. Can I have my soul back, please?

But... but I wanted that. by Makari on 2010-11-04 07:17:00 UTC Reply

I was going to hug it and feed it and call it George.
