This had to be done, huh? Lol
Rule of Acquisition #9: Opportunity plus instinct equals profit.
Daniella Fetish sounds more like a name kink than a pen name.
Is that Gates McFadden in the last one lol
All of them.
I’d definitely buy that candle if they sold them at Cost Plus or Bed Bath and Beyond.
So uhh, how do you know about these?
I, uh... I made these.
Finding the original book covers will serve as a questionable Google search in my impending subpoena(s).
I believe the poet Roy Parker Jr said it best, "Bustin' makes me feel good."
And if you've got ghosts--freaky ghosts--he wants you to call.

I love this ghost just like my grandmother before me, and her grandmother before her, and her grandmother before her, and her grandmother before her...
Blazin’ Bev, darling.
Ghost fucker all the way baybee!!!!!
This is how far the republican / conservative agenda will go .... they want to ban sex in this life ... because they'll know we'll go hog wild in the afterlife
Oh boy, it's not about ghosts, it's about werewolves aka furry porn.
My daddy was a pervert and I'm a pervert’s son
pair o' not-normals.
A lot of star trek episodes are on the left, but there’s one episode of TNG which is clearly on the right.
A Voyager two-parter also IIRC
???
I couldn’t think of any paranormal Voyager 2 parters. There were 2 that had a romance subplot, (Unimatrix Zero and Workforce) but I wouldn’t consider either of those paranormal episodes.
Maybe my memory is failing me, but there was definitely one that starts out with Janeway getting courted by an apparition (who later turns out not to be an actual ghost).
Oh no. It's a whole genre?!
Ghosts aren't my thing, but I don't judge.
Unless they're Confederate Civil War ghosts, then I'm going to judge.
What if you, also, are a ghost?
I'd sneak into the movies without paying!
Sure, but would you sneak into a car?
I'd have to think about that one 🤔
While you pontificate, perhaps you could enjoy this classic "IT Crowd" clip.
Ha, fantastic! I really missed out on IT Crowd.
It's not too late!

I'm over in the science section across the store.
Why not both?
As a strict monogamist, the only paranormal sex I'm interested in is if my SO turns.
Isn't this viewpoint why "until death do us part" is a thing?
I'm cool with my SO not parting after death, provided we can still get the romance on.
I typed a long message, then asked my wife what she thought about the concepts raised.
She informed me that you might be metaphorically pulling my chain.
If you are, well done! I was fooled. Though tricking someone as socially oblivious as I isn't that much of an achievement, I still appreciate the joke.
If you are not, I am happy to discuss the philosophies of committed relationships, but my (very inexpert) main points would be:
- one should honor all commitments
- commitments can be ethically renegotiated with the informed consent of all involved parties
- at the end of the commitment (ie, death in this case), termination or renegotiation is also fair (even if the same commitment is the end result)
edit: corrected an individual word.
I was joking.
That said, I also have a religious belief in life after death, and that includes marriage, though I also believe we need to choose each other again in the next life. I didn't really want to get into that in a random funny post, but there you go.
My sincere apologies to you for creating a situation that might have pressured you into sharing something private or that the context made you uncomfortable sharing. I thought people might be amused by me being informed that you were joking, but I did not mean to discomfit you.
Thank you for responding. If you would like to continue the previous conversation in private, please feel free to message me; and if not, please know I leave this thread with no negative feelings toward you.
edit: Added a word that hopefully made it seem less like I was blaming the other commenter.
No discomfort here. If I felt uncomfortable sharing, I would've just not responded. Since you gave such a serious response, I figured I'd do you the courtesy of giving a little more context to my original post (i.e. consider the pottery scene in Ghost).
A little more context on views
If ghosts exist in any meaningful form, I don't think they could have sex, nor is that something they would be particularly interested in. I see sex as a physical thing driven by hormones, and ghosts wouldn't have a physical form. My view of the afterlife is one of intellectual progress, not physical appetites, so marriage in the afterlife would be more based on companionship than anything.
So if my SO appeared to me after passing, it would be to warn me of something I'm doing that I shouldn't that could jeopardize our ability to be together in the next life. Or perhaps to encourage me to let go on my deathbed so we could be together again sooner.
I tend to leave religious views off my posts, especially in a community like this where we're mostly here to joke and have fun. So I keep my posts largely secular on SM, because I don't think religion is something that should be openly debated, it should be discovered through a connection w/ the divine, and weighed against scientific evidence (I believe God is subject to natural laws).
While I don't share your religion, it looks like our general views largely align.
I agree with your policy of generally not sharing religion or other similarly contentious topics here, but I appreciate that you made an exception for this conversation. Also, you taught me that you can label spoilers!
In case you're not familiar, some of what you said makes me think you might like the literary works of Terry Pratchett.
Oh, I love Terry Pratchett, he's fantastic. :)
And yeah, spoilers are great. I can be a bit wordy, so I use them to summarize my posts so people don't get overwhelmed by a wall of text.
dont believe in them to start with although some spiritedness in partners might be nice once in a while
