S&M aerobics still fashionable
observer.guardian.co.uk |
"Slavercise will raise your heart rate but there isn't a treadmill in sight. Be very afraid -- and prepare to be whipped, slapped and intimidated into shape. Run by a famed New York City dominatrix, petite blonde Mistress Victoria, Slavercise is an aerobics class which truly enforces the mantra 'no pain, no gain' and has attracted several celebrity clients.
The tone for the class is set when Mistress Victoria tells her students: 'You all look so pathetic.'"

Pudding throwing competition on in UK
Sunday, 28 September , 2003, 17:55
London:
Competitors have to hurl their black puddings -- a sausage-like delicacy of cooked pigs' blood, fat and rusk set in a length of intestine -- at a wooden platform 20 feet (six metres) up on the pub's wall.
They have three throws in which to dislodge Yorkshire puddings, a baked concoction of milk, eggs and flour, from the platform.
One theory says that the black pudding throwing originates from an incident when both armies ran out of ammunition and threw food at each other.

Gypsy wedding of the year goes wrong when bride bolts
By ALISON MUTLER
SIBIU, Romania (AP) - It was billed as the Gypsy wedding of the year, with a diamond tiara atop the princess bride's head. But it got off to a bad start Saturday, with the reluctant 12-year-old bride storming out of the church . . .
The bride's father had given the groom's family a dowry worth tens of thousands of dollars, invited 400 guests and bought 12 suckling pigs and thousands of bottles of wine for the three-day party. -

Prosecutors said Christy Edgar and Boyd punished Brian last Dec. 29 for stealing food by wrapping him with duct tape. They left him overnight with only his nose uncovered, and he suffocated on his own vomit . . .
The Edgars were receiving about $2,000 a month in adoption subsidies.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) They creep quietly beneath bed sheets in the darkness of night, in search of a blood feast . . .
"An insect is living beside you while you sleep, it withdraws three times its body weight in your blood, it's a psychological concern." "They inject a chemical that numbs you," he said. "They feed on you and you don't even know it."

The Passionate
Shepherd to His Love
COME live with me and be my Love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dale and field,
And all the craggy mountains yield.
There will we sit upon the rocks
5
And see the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers, to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
There will I make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
10
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroider'd all with leaves of myrtle.
A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull,
Fair linèd slippers for the cold,
15
With buckles of the purest gold.
A belt of straw and ivy buds
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me and be my Love.
20
Thy silver dishes for thy meat
As precious as the gods do eat,
Shall on an ivory table be
Prepared each day for thee and me.
The shepherd swains shall dance and sing
25
For thy delight each May-morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my Love.

The nymph's reply to the shepherd
If all the world and love were young,
And truth in every shepherd's tongue,
These pretty pleasures might me move
To live with thee and be thy love.
Time drives the flocks from field to fold
When rivers rage and rocks grow cold,
And Philomel becometh dumb;
The rest complains of cares to come.
The flowers do fade, and wanton fields
To wayward winter reckoning yields;
A honey tongue, a heart of gall,
Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall.
The gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses,
Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies
Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten,—
In folly ripe, in reason rotten.
Thy belt of straw and ivy buds,
Thy coral clasps and amber studs,
All these in me no means can move
To come to thee and be thy love.
But could youth last and love still breed,
Had joys no date nor age no need,
Then these delights my mind might move
To live with thee and be thy love.
-Sir Walter Ralegh
