Celestial Reviews 209 - August 20, 1997

Note:  Spam is getting confusing.  I normally just delete it all 
without reading it.  However, just before I deleted a piece 
labeled, "This is sick, but I bet you guys c", which was forwarded 
to about 400 people, I glanced at it and discovered that it was a 
simply marvelous sexual chain letter.  You know the sort: "If you 
don't send this, your pecker will fall off.  If you send this to 
one person, your crush will have sex with you... If you send this 
to 10 people and visit your crushes house, his/her mother and 
father will join him/her in having sex with you... If you send 
this to 20 people, you will learn to put an apostrophe in 
_crush's_, etc."  

One of you had been kind enough to send it to me. Well, anyway, I 
made an amazing discovery.  The instructions said I could just 
make a wish after I sent the letter onward, and my wish would come 
true, no matter how dirty it was. Like if I sent the wish to 8 
people at 8:00, my wish would come true in 8 days. Well, I made my 
wish at 11:00 p.m. and DIDN'T send the letter to anyone: I just 
went to bed.  Within eleven minutes my wish was coming true!  

Can you imagine the implications of this?!!!  Well, the first 
thing I did the next morning was wish that the letter would be 
gone, and then I pressed the delete key and checked.  It was gone!  
This really worked! But what this really means is that with these 
chain letters you can just WISH and not even send the letter to 
anyone AND YOU HAVE ALMOST THE SAME ODDS as if you did send it to 
the prescribed number of people.  Of course, you could also simply 
not wish, but you have to have a dream, because if you don't have 
a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true?

So - and this is the best part - I just wished that all of you 
would have the same power; and I'll bet it works!  Except my 
enemies.  I wished that they would all become dull and banal fools 
who could get only insipid partners to make love to them.  I think 
that wish has already come true - retroactively!

Second note: A farmer loses his prize stud rooster just when he 
needs his hens fertilized most for some new chicks. He looks all 
over the county for a new stud rooster and finally finds one about 
to be killed at the slaughter house. The butcher says, 
" No, you don't want this one, he's too horny." The farmer says, 
"Perfect! I'll take him." 

He turns this rooster loose in the hen house and hears nothing but 
squawking hens all day. At supper time he hears the ducks starting 
to quack loudly on the pond. At bedtime he hears the cows 
bellowing in the barn. The next morning, he wakes up to the sound 
of the pigs squealing. He locks his wife and daughter in the house 
so the rooster won't get them, walks outside and finds the rooster 
lying exhausted and dehydrated in the drive way with buzzards 
circling overhead. He walks over to the rooster and says, "Gol-
dangit rooster, if you'd have paced yourself, you could have had 
the run of this place for years".

The rooster looks at him with one eye cocked open, nods toward the 
buzzards, and whispers "Shhhhhh. They're about ready to land." 

Second Second Note: Somebody sent me this information about 
Manufacturing Information Access Software System (MIASS), which is 
pronounced the way you think it is. 

This memo is to announce the development of a new plant-wide 
software system. We are currently building a data warehouse that 
will contain all plant manufacturing data. The program is referred 
to as the "Manufacturing Information Access Software System" 
(MIASS).

Next Monday at 9:00 there will be a meeting in which I will show 
MIASS. We will continue to hold demonstrations throughout the 
month so that all employees will have an opportunity to get a good 
look at MIASS.  

As for the status of the implementation of the program, I have not 
addressed the networking aspects; so currently only one person can 
be in MIASS at a time. This should change as MIASS expands.

Several people are using the program already and have come to 
depend on it. Just this morning I walked into a subordinate's 
office and was not surprised to find that he had his nose buried 
in MIASS. I've noticed that some of the less technical personnel 
are somewhat afraid of MIASS and even wish I would get MIASS out 
of their lives. Just last week, when asked to enter some 
information into the program, I had a secretary say to me "I'm a 
little nervous, I've never put anything in MIASS before." I 
volunteered to help her through her first time, and when we were 
through she admitted that it was relatively painless and she was 
actually looking forward to doing it again. She went so far as to 
say that after using SAP and Oracle, she was ready to kiss MIASS.

I know there are concerns over the virus that was found in MIASS 
upon initial installation, but I am pleased to say the virus has 
been eliminated and we were able to save MIASS.  In the future, 
however, protection will be required prior to entering MIASS.

We planned this database to encompass all information associated 
with the business. So as you begin using the program, feel free to 
put anything you want into MIASS.  As MIASS grows larger, we 
envision a time when it will be commonplace to walk by an office 
and see a manager hand a paper to an employee and say "Here, stick 
this in MIASS."

This program has already demonstrated great benefit to the company 
during recent OSHA and EPA audits. After requesting certain 
historical data the agency representatives were amazed at how 
quickly we provided  the information.  When asked how the numbers 
could be retrieved so rapidly our Environmental Manager proudly 
stated "Simple, I just pulled them out of MIASS".

Third note:  Someone has been reposting all of Deirdre's short 
stories.  Since there are 156 of these that I know of, I am not 
going to try to repost all my reviews.  I'll just make the global 
recommendation that you take a look at some of Deirdre's stories.

Final note: Remember: even though someone else may be posting my 
reviews for me, my e-mail address is still Celeste801@aol.com.

"The Shirt That Shrunk" by Renae Nicks (RenaeNicks@aol.com).  
Renae and Derrick are packing for a trip, and Derrick asks her to 
model for him a shirt that has shrunk.  The damned thing is 
obviously too tight, and to make matters worse Derrick spills 
water all over it, and worst of all her nipples get hard and the 
shirt is all clingy.  But a good time is had by all.  This is a 
nice, hot, sexy, probably true very short story.

"A Slaves Story" by Bruce Marshall ().  The narrator is a 14-year-
old boy who hitch-hikes to and from school.  A guy who gives him a 
ride throws in a free hand job, and soon the boy finds himself 
strongly attracted to gay sex.  In no time at all he finds himself 
to be a sex slave.

The story's grammar is really awful - as exemplified by the 
absence of the apostrophe in the title.  In addition, the plot is 
not timed properly.  Everything happens too quickly with little 
apparent logic for why it is happening.  In fact, the story is 
more a seduction and homosexual gang-bang story than a sex slavery 
story, as the title would lead us to expect.

If you like exploitive, gay sex, you may enjoy this story anyway.  
My advice to the author is that next time he should develop his 
storyline more carefully, revise it several times before posting 
it, and proofread it carefully to get rid of the extremely 
annoying grammatical errors.

"My Xmas Threesome" by Carla Leach (coolwow@usa.net).  I read this 
story because it's hot as hell around here, and Christmas in 
August sounded pretty good.  It was a major disappointment.  I 
guess there's no reason a person who can't write should not be 
permitted to post stories, but I suggest you skip this one.  The 
main strengths of this story are (1) it's short, (2) it makes the 
preceding story look a lot better by comparison, and (3) at least 
20% of the words are spelled correctly.  Wow!  I should talk!  I 
just noticed I left both hyphens out of the title!  I don't think 
this story is even about a threesome - unless Sharon and Sahron 
are the same person.

Maybe Brits get this way after they listen to the Queen's Xmas 
speech.

"Nasty Story #6" by Donna ().  As you can see from the previous 
two reviews, I had been looking among unrecognized authors for 
possible gems.  To mix my metaphors, I had struck out twice.  So 
it was with a spirit of apprehension that I approached this story 
with its really imaginative title.  My apprehension only increased 
when I realized that this same author had written "Nasty Dog 
Story."  My initial advice (without reading the stories) was, "Get 
some better titles."  For example, "Fucking Dog Story!" would be 
more appealing.

Next I discovered the author was dysgrammatic or dysgraphic or 
something. Bad grammar is one thing; but when it interferes with 
good humor, that's another. And so, I didn't know whether the 
author was being clever or stupid when I came upon this line 
{actually discovered would be a better word, I didn't cum upon 
this line}: "I could feel the inside walls of my cuntcslit being 
pushed aside as the cock forced a channel for itself inside me."  
Now, in case your font doesn't pick up these subtleties, that's a 
copyright symbol (c with a circle around it) between "cunt" and 
"slit." I think that's great, but I hate the feeling that I might 
be getting sexually excited over a typographical error.  Actually, 
I don't mind and even LIKE the feeling of being sexually 
stimulated, even if it's by a typo; and heaven knows, there are 
times when I'm down in the dumps and am simply surrounded by 
typos.... See what I mean?  In a sense, this story is so bad that 
it's great!

Anyway, I decided to ignore the grammar and spelling, as well as 
the fact that a person who did what this woman did with a dildo 
would almost certainly have severe medical problems.  I 
concentrated on the content.  What I discovered were some 
innovations involving Crazy Gluec involving dildoes during naked 
horseback riding.  I've often wondered about that, although I use 
a bicycle instead of a horse and don't ride naked or use a dildo 
or CrazycGlue.

Well, my overall conclusion is that the story lacked realism.  
Almost nobody can stimulate herself to orgasm while CrazycGlue is 
drying: I think she must be thinking of School@Glue, which is much 
slower but a lot less hazardous to cunt@lips.  And I think she 
should have used KYc or maybe WDc40 as a lubricant.   I also think 
the story would have been better if when she got thrown off the 
horse and knocked unconscious a snake would have crawled - maybe 
even slithered - into her cuntchole.

There's more; but that's another story.  At least it SHOULD be 
another story - or maybe two or three.  It's really hard to 
determine how the author decides where one Nasty Story ends and 
another begins.

Surprisingly, I think this author really has talent.  I think 
buried beneath all this silliness is a flair for telling a good 
story.  I think this author should quit her night job, go back to 
school, learn to write, and produce the Great American Novel.  For 
starters, she should do something drastic - like proofread her 
next story before posting it.  She should also focus on one idea 
at a time and develop a perspective of some sort.  You can't just 
ramble and expect to have a story: Mike Hunt looks like he does, 
but it takes real talent to give that impression successfully.  
And she should do something the title: how could anyone know what 
this story was about from that title?  

Under the circumstances, however, I think I'll skip "Nasty Dog 
Story."

"Computer Games on a Sunday" by Kim (kim@nym.alias.net).  The 
narrator and her boyfriend want to expand their sexual repertoire.  
The decide on some dom/sub games, but they feel they need a 
ringmaster to coordinate their activities.  Who will it be?  Not 
who, what?  Kim decides to program the computer to synthesize 
their amorous activities.  

This story may be an example of technology run amuck - er, amok - 
er, no, amuck, probably - or maybe both.  However, I don't quite 
see why the computer was necessary.  I mean, they could have drawn 
activities out of a hat or any other container.  But I guess it's 
OK to have a user-friendly computer in the story.

The sex is hot.  I get turned off by bdsm that's designed to hurt 
or humiliate people in the name of "love," but this one was fine 
with me.  {Sorry, Kim; there goes you audience!}  As the saying 
goes, "Lovers who play together stay together."  Ooops! A nun told 
me that; and it was "pray."

"Strip Poker" by Unknown (posted by melanie156@aol.com).  Guest 
review by Anne747.

Poor Chuck.  Left alone after a party with four semi-drunk ladies, 
all with perky firm breasts.  Yeah, like this happens!  What guy 
in his right mind would leave Chuck alone?  Kind of a standard 
premise really.  Everyone drinks a little too much, strip poker is 
played.  There are some more complicated rules that come into play 
once everyone is closer to naked.

That is the whole problem with this piece - it's too complicated.  
I often find group pieces hard to read, and just as hard to write.  
It is a only a really good author that can keep you from becoming 
confused with more than three people in a story.  I hate to say 
it, but I just couldn't keep the people straight.  The author 
tries to do this by making the women blonde (oh boy, did I pick 
the right word?), brunette, auburn, and dark-haired.  It just 
doesn't work.

I must admit I spent more time trying to keep the people in the 
story straight than actually getting into the story.  I think I 
would have had to make a list of names, descriptions and clothing 
worn to be able to do so.  Oh, and I think there is part of this 
story missing - the last line was simply cut off mid-breast 
(although I have a feeling this was meant to be the closing line 
anyway).

It may be a better story than I'm giving it credit for.  If I were 
a man, just the scenario of four luscious perky women stripping in 
front of me might be enough for a good review.  As it was, it just 
turned out to be a jumbled mess of people I couldn't keep straight 
past page 1.

"My Sextoy Wife" by Jul 4 1944 (Jul 4 1944@AOL.COM).  Guest review 
by Piper.

Okay.  I've read dozens upon dozens of slutwife stories; from 
incoherent babblings, to well-written hot sex scenes pasted 
together, to actual literate and intelligible tales.  It seems to 
be one of the more popular genres.  I guess there are lots of 
people out there that like reading about somebody else's wife 
taking on all comers.  The author describes this as an adultery 
story.  After reading it, I think it goes beyond simple adultery.  
After all, adultery could be a single mistake made in a lonely, 
drunken, weak moment.  That's not what happens here.

This story doesn't follow the normal patterns.  Instead of 
describing the action and telling us how much the wife likes 
getting multiple organs inserted multiple times into all her 
orifices, and how much the husband likes watching/hearing about 
said extra-curricular activities, the author leads us deep into 
the mind of the husband.  We are told the story from his point of 
view.  We hear his thoughts.  We learn of his own infidelities and 
insecurities.  This is a real mind trip.

These are not the "normal, well-adjusted" people we hear about in 
the more vanilla a.s.s. stories, even in this category.  They are 
what's called "A Scary Couple".  Marriage counselors have 
nightmares about people like this.  I don't think these two people 
even like each other.  Nevertheless, fear, insecurity, and other 
less-defined emotions bind them to each other.  That's what this 
story is all about; digging deep into their psyches and finding 
out what drives them both.

This is not going to be one of my favorite stories, although I did 
enjoy reading it.  My interests don't really lie in examining the 
inner thoughts and feelings of a dysfunctional couple.  Not even 
one where the woman is as hot, sexy, beautiful, and responsive as 
Alicia is supposed to be.  Not even for a woman who gives one of 
the best blowjobs on either side of the continental divide.  And 
definitely not for a guy who, in the words of one of my friends, 
is "smart like a dump truck" (you get the idea).  Maybe 
selectively blind would be a better way of putting it.  After all, 
he drops his wife off, alone, at a famous singles bar every Friday 
evening for two years, and STILL doesn't really believe she could 
be fooling around on him.

The erotica content is fairly high, although most of it is of the 
"in-your-face" and "get even" variety.  The writing is good, 
solid, and intriguing.  In a few places, I found things a bit 
confusing, although this could be something the writer has 
included on purpose, as the protagonist is sharing memories, as 
well as talking about his current situation.  Technically, there 
are some formatting problems and a few difficult passages.  
Nothing major, as long as your newsreader can handle text where 
the only carriage returns are at the end of paragraphs.  I think 
this problem could be because I received the story 3rd or 4th 
hand.

"Sucker, chapters 2 and 3" by BronwenSM (bronwenSM@aol.com). Guest 
review by Mat Twassel.

If you missed BronwenSM's "Sucker" a few months ago, don't make 
the same mistake this go 'round.  It was Celeste's Best of the 
Month when it first appeared, and it's gotten even better thanks 
to two subsequent chapters, "Oh, Bugger," in which the now lovely 
Kim-but-Dim learns about bottom fucks, and "Revelations," in which 
Kim comes to discover passion's promises and rewards.  Rollicking 
good-spirited fun!  I hope this is not the ultimate climax.

In Chapter I, if you remember, 17 year old Kim, suddenly big-
breasted and incredibly beautiful, falls for some well-to-do boy's 
line that if she doesn't relieve his sexual urge the clotted blood 
will burst his brain... or something like that.  Desperately 
afraid of babies, Kim uses her hands, and then her mouth, and 
finds she's good at it, and likes it, and is suddenly oh-so-
popular!  The girls don't like her much, but one can't have 
everything.

In Chapter II,  Kim tells us over lunch about her daddy's fall 
from power and rise to riches, which leads to Mummy's brush with 
polo and Kim's sudden education in anal sex at the hands and 
etcetera of Eddie the Greek.  All along, Kim's narrational voice 
is rich with unintentional naughty puns and outrageous innocence.  
I don't really know how to take her, but she's deliciously sexy 
and so is the writing:

     So I was kneeling as if I was worshipping
     the sofa and thinking all these jumbled thoughts
     when all of a sudden I felt this presence at my
     arse. He was sort of looming - I could feel him
     rubbing the soft hot purply end of his dick up
     and down between my arse cheeks like a warm plum.
     His movements were slow and lingering, stopping
     completely for a moment every time he touched 
     the actual hole itself.

     It was nice. It was very nice. I could actually 
     feel my bum hole sort of yearning. It was trying
     to open outwards. And then he very gently pushed 
     the round hot tip of his cock into my bum. I gasped
     and tried to relax, but I was grateful when he
     withdrew a little to let me adjust. It was a very 
     sexy feeling, but a bit tense-making. I focused on 
     letting him in, and maybe it would have all gone 
     smoothly if he hadn't got impatient.

I particularly like the "soft hot purply end": isn't it neat that 
the cock has color in Kim's mind even when it's out of sight?  
BronwenSm consistently amazes us with words--ordinary, rich, 
sometimes unexpected, always just right.

Greek Eddie is, it turns out, a phony as well as a cad: after his 
most promising beginning he abuses Kim almost brutally, but for 
some reason Kim continues to let him use her bottom all through 
chapter two. 

Good old Uncle Barn, a college chum of Kim's dad, comes to the 
rescue in Chapter III.  The ending, though not "exactly" Pride and 
Prejudicy, is certainly juicy.

Reservations?  Minor stuff, mostly. Chapter I, on its own, is 
awfully top-heavy--too much repetition concerning Kim's physical 
development and not enough development of character or plot... but 
with length this awkwardness smoothes out some.  Similarly, we do 
seem to learn more about Kim's dad than the plot demands--maybe 
some of him appears more for word play and marginal satire than 
anything else. Much as I enjoy Kim's language, sometimes she talks 
too much instead of giving us scenes.  And the rendering of 
action, often flowingly poetic--consider the passage above--
doesn't always reveal as much as it might: we learn what Kim 
thinks about getting fucked in the ass, for example, but we don't 
feel it with that deep intensity offered at onset.

I wonder whether we really need that lunch to get us through 
chapter two...   It's slightly confusing and serves no great 
purpose, as far as I can see.  And finally, the narrator changes 
at the end of Chapter III--Kim could have handled the final scene 
just as well or better on her own.  In short, there may be a few 
small structural issues and flaws, and maybe when this is all 
done, these will be mended.  But Celeste, you're gonna hafta read 
this story: certainly it'll be a strong contender for best of the 
month.

"The Adventures of Rachel Roundheels, Teen Slutpuppy" by Rachel. 
Guest review by Kim.

Hey, I'm back for another stab at this reviewing malarkey (great 
word huh?). Obviously Celeste thought I was ready for an epic, and 
at near a hundred pages I think this one qualifies. Actually 
that's not exactly true. After considerable reformatting I managed 
to get it down to under fifty pages but hey, that's still half an 
epic at least.

The basic thrust of the piece is the life and times of the 
narrator Rachel and her incestuous relationships with her Father 
and Mother, plus her sexual antics with other possibly non-related 
folk. It begins with Rachel having a lesbian tryst with her best 
friend Jesse; and after that bout they jointly decide to seduce 
Jesse's brother. Hmmm, do I detect a common thread here?

After many assorted couplings between various characters in just 
about any and all combinations you can conceive {or not conceive, 
if you're using proper birth control}, our heroine finally makes 
her way to her dad's house, where she and an itinerant male lover, 
happen upon her father giving himself a blow-job (I kid you not). 
There follows a discussion on the best way to achieve this 
particular form of self love. I would think this bit is quite 
educational should you happen to be the proud owner of a penis - 
or, perhaps more importantly, the ordinary owner of a humble penis 
who needs a way to gain some pride.

The story then lurches into S&M territory, as dad decides the best 
form of nurturing his fifteen year old daughter would be to turn 
her into his submissive sex slave. {You do-gooders that would like 
to tell this guy to fuck himself should recall that he already 
knows how to do that to his own gratification.}  Some more sex 
ensues, beginning with Rachel being handcuffed and flogged with a 
belt. Nice dad huh? Various friends then wander in and out of the 
frantic couplings that follow.

The story then switches to some time later, when Rachel wanders 
into her mom's bedroom and accidentally discovers a giant double-
ended dildo. A few moments later, you guessed it, Rachel and Mom 
are getting it on with the dildo. About now we are only half-way 
through the story (and note that Celeste sent me only the first 
ten of about four thousand chapters). What follows for the rest of 
this first book in the series, is many, many more couplings 
between (actually, "among" on many occasions) all concerned, in 
any and all ways describable.

Apart from one very unpleasant sequence where the Father whips his 
ex-wife so relentlessly that she bleeds (which of course turns 
Rachel on), all is pretty much as it should be for a happy, 
caring, incestuous family that has not yet come to the attention 
of the child welfare services or begun its term in the realm of 
eternal damnation.

And now the big question: did I like it? Well, I'd be a terrible 
hypocrite if I said none of it turned me on. It's written in a 
down and dirty style which, whilst being horribly cliche ridden, 
knows exactly how to reach its target audience, which <alas> 
included me from time to time. An example of the writing might 
explain this better:  [He prodded my fuckhole with the blunt head 
of his dick and it slid right in. "Oh, man." He sighed into my 
ear. "Nice cunt."]  My case rests, and so will my pussy shortly.

So, much against my better judgment, I have to admit it turned me 
on quite thoroughly during some of its nastier moments. My heart 
and mind kept telling me how appalling it all was, but my gonads 
kept telling me how appealing it was <sigh> - <that's 
embarrassment, not satisfaction!>.

"One Fine Day" by Pussy Barber. Guest review by Mark Aster.

This story is porn.  Sometimes I forget the difference between 
porn and erotica, and of course there are lots of borderline 
cases, but it's nice to read a sample of the Pure Stuff now and 
then to remind me what it's like.  Which isn't to say that it's a 
bad story!  It's just from a somewhat different culture than the 
stories that I usually read and enjoy; it has behind it a rather 
different tradition and set of assumptions, some of which I admit 
are annoying to me and seriously detract from the story.  It's a 
pretty good story of its type; that may not be saying much!

The narrator stops by the house of some friends and watches them 
splashing around in the pool.  He gets pushed in by one of the 
ladies, and later on while sitting around in just a towel  (his 
clothes are drying, of course) the kidding around escalates into a 
dare to shave the pussy hair of that same lady.  He goes through 
with the dare, of course (you get the subtle wit of the author's 
pseudonym, eh?), and large-scale fucking ensues.  This is where 
the porn shows through, and the story gets annoying.

Up to this point there's been some nice erotic tension building 
up, some actual human emotion: will she let him do it, will they 
both die of embarrassment at the intimate position they've gotten  
themselves into, and, of course, how long will it be until they're 
actually screwing wildly on the bed all covered with shaving 
cream? But pretty much as soon as he touches her vulval flesh with 
the razor, the porn scenario cuts in, all sense of reluctance or 
shame disappears as though it had never been, the women all become 
bisexual, and everyone's fucking everyone, in every possible 
position, quite mechanically, and without convincing surprise or 
joy.

And then they do it again.  And again.  And again in some other 
position.  And so on ad infinitum.  And I don't really understand 
it: certainly anyone masturbating to the story has come by now, 
and anyone not masturbating to the story is losing interest.  But 
endless repetitive sex scenes are part of the porn culture (as I 
know from watching the occasional naughty video and reading the 
occasional sleazy novel).  

Also part of the culture are Really Stupid Exclamations.  "One 
Fine Day"  features such gems as "Cum with me.  Milk me with your 
cunt. Milk my  sperm into your cumming cunt.", "Cum on her big 
tits. Soak 'em down",  and even "I'm gonna soak both of 'em in 
jism!  Cum all over these hot  bitches!".  Maybe it's just me, but 
these all strike me as so dumb to be  seriously distracting; among 
real humans engaged in lovemaking, I think  they would cause the 
proceedings to dissolve into fits of hysterical laughter.  

We can also tell that the story is porn because at the very top 
there's a URL, and some bizarrely-misspelled admonitions: "After U 
R Finished  Reading this Story, Cum Here for Tons More FREE!!!", 
"Guaranteed to  Make U Cum!!!".  Like the story itself, it uses 
"cum" as a verb, but I could probably forgive that.  I have never 
understood, though, why people who are trying to attract customers 
say things like "After U R Finished" and "While U Wait".  Is there 
some business theory that holds that many prospective customers 
are looking for stupid people to transact business with?  But I 
digress.

So this is an okay story, good stroke-material for your typical  
heterosexual male at least.  But ultimately quite forgettable, and 
seriously marred by the silly cliches of porn culture.  On the 
Celeste scale, I'd probably give it a 7 from Athena (for dumb 
dialogue, using "cum" as a verb, mixing "lie" and "lay", and some 
other illiteracies), a 6 from Aphrodite (for sacrificing character 
to raw fucking), and a 5 from Celeste (or Mark, in this case) for 
annoying me by squandering good material...

* "The Dive" by Yuri Voloshin (yqv7599@is.nyu.edu).  The man has 
invented an extremely lightweight piece of scuba equipment that 
converts water to oxygen.  A side benefit is that it enables such 
easy maneuverability underwater that it is possible to have sexual 
intercourse without surfacing; and that's what this story is 
about.  The story is extremely short, but it achieves its purpose 
of describing sexual activity in a highly romantic environment.  I 
liked this story.

* "Brown Nosing" by Phil Phantom.  Some people will dislike this 
story because it was originally zipped but now it's decoded.  
Others will object because it is about incest.  I think it's just 
plain funny.  Anyway, the man has just gotten a job, but he leaves 
his wife and family behind in the room with the boss during the 
final interview.  The boss fondles the man's daughter; and the 
man's son becomes turned on and begins fondling the mother.  The 
third child becomes so excited that "she didn't know who to 
watch."  That should be "whom," of course.  Some of these authors 
get so excited that they screw the hell out of their pronouns as 
soon as their hormones get going.

A lot of readers enjoy blackmail and pedophile stories; and this 
one combines both.  I usually don't like either element, but I 
enjoyed this one largely because of the grotesque perspective.  We 
see the first part of the story from the viewpoint of the father, 
who re-enacts everything that happens while his wife tells him 
about it.  The storytelling style is most interesting; it reminded 
me of the old Bert and Ernie sequence from Sesame Street ("Did 
anything interesting happen today?" "Nope."  "How did you tear 
your shirt pocket?"  "Oh, that happened when I was running too 
fast through the door at the circus... after Johnny said we had 
better go home... after the tent started to collapse... after the 
mime started yelling and screaming.... because the door to the 
lion cage had come open... after the tiger devoured the trainer... 
right after his partner had been shot by the homicidal maniac who 
was using me as a human shield... But don't worry; the S.W.A.T. 
team shot him.... right after he threw the hand grenade down my 
pants.... ) Actually, the Sesame Street version was a little 
different, but the idea is that the wife casually describes to the 
husband increasingly outrageous activities; and the guy just 
listens, tries the ideas out on his wife, makes her cum, and then 
says he'll have to have a talk with the kids.

Of course, if this would happen to you and your family in real 
life, you should go straight to a good lawyer. Make that an 
expensive lawyer - they're easier to find.  The lawyer will fill 
you in on the details regarding how you can become immensely rich 
by suing the bastard for child molestation.

But there's more!  After dropping Dad off at home, Mom goes back 
to get the kids at the movies.  She wants to have a talk with them 
- to make sure they don't lose respect for her, of course.  So 
while they're driving home, the kids essentially gang-rape her 
with hand jobs in the moving car.  They even argue over who gets 
what.  During a typical American car trip, when the children argue 
and get out of hand, the parent often screams, "Shuddup, you 
little motherfuckers!"  I suppose that would have been ironic 
under these circumstances.

But there's more!  Eventually the boss starts making night calls 
to the family's house and brings clients to go into the girl's 
room and plays sex and bondage games with Sherry and Sandy after 
using Mom as a warm-up course while Dad does paperwork for the 
company.  This pushed me beyond the limits of what I could endure.  
That should be girls' - it's s-apostrophe, not apostrophe-s, for 
plural possessives!

This was an interesting but bizarre story.  If any of you try this 
in real life, you deserve to be arrested. Then you will burn in 
hell and will be forced to live with an American politician for 
all eternity.
