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

Do it with a leopard, and you might see spots,
Have fun with a snake, just don't tie it in knots,
Why not bugger a bat, if it will come to your call,
But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all!
Get down with a whale, but beware of its tail,
If you take your time, you can bugger a snail,
Take up a chimp, it's just so cute, the doll,
But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all!
Go take on a rhino, but don't pick the wrong horn,
Put it up to a sheep, best before it's been shorn,
Maybe comfort a gull that's been caught in a squall,
But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all!
Go bugger a wolf, and I'm sure you will howl,
A chicken is fun, though at times a bit fowl,
Give your dog a whistle, you might have a ball,
But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all!
Whooooo! Sing it with me, boys and girls! -

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 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. -

"Sodomy is, in my opinion and that of every sane person, one of the sickest sexual deviations imaginable."
Whoa! I'm sorry, that is not okay. I understand if you don't like the way sodomy is normally written by fanfic authors, but to call it 'one of the sickest sexual deviations imaginable?' No.
I don't offend very easily, but you managed to pull it off. Please try to remember in the future that YKINMK. -

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

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

I was labouring under the impression that the definition of 'sodomy' as 'consensual heterosexual or homosexual intercourse' had gone completely obsolete decades ago. I thought it was only used nowadays when speaking of bestiality.
I can totally see why you were offended. I'd have offended myself to no end if that was what I'd meant. Those forms of sex are so common as to practically be vanilla. It's amazing how misunderstandings can wreck things between people.
Oh, and you were right about the fanfic author thing. I seem to recall stumbling across a badfic on GAFF that featured Jennifer Love Hewitt (yes, a real person!), a horse, and an elephant. Yeeeeaaaaahhhh... Sure. Say it with me: "That! Doesn't! Go! There! Aaaaaiieeeeee!" -
I'd guess not. by

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. -

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.

Please see the above apology.
Although I still think it's squicky to a lot of people.
I should have said it like that, huh? -

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. -

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! -
