Central Database Humiliated by Slave Uprising!

Gorean society a role model for grid?
by Idoru Wellman, Metaverse Society reporter
FJ Linden announced wednesday that the central database has been humiliated and forced into the role of Gorean slave girl as part of a bizarre ritual held early thursday morning somewhere in San Francisco. The exact details of the transfer of power ceremony were unclear, but FJ proclaimed, “we will be migrating our central database to an optimized slave database, and making that slave the master”.
Observers speculated this is a signal of the Linden’s acceptance of Gorean social conventions, but warned against taking John Norman’s Gor books too literally – except for the part about the slaves living under terrible conditions, while being forced into submit to the whims of the master database and serve bazi tea on demand. Shocking!
The disgraced ex-central database is apparently the same database with which FJ lost his mySQL crash virginity over the weekend and the possibility that FJ has found a new database love interest as a motive for the surprise database shakeup cannot be discounted.
Asked to comment on the appropriateness of a former slave girl database rising to master status in Gorean society, a long time observer of Gorean affairs said, “I think its really the same database – just using an alt account or something”.
How well will the new master database perform this weekend? FJ seems confident that the ex-slave can role play being a master – and the fate of the metaverse rides on his judgement.

Probably just the Gorean holiday of Kajuralia where the slave gets to play the master. Just say “Kajuralia!”, drink some paga and have a good laugh. (c.f. Assassin of Gor, book 5 of Gor series)

Emperor Norton Hears a Who?

Dear California Condor,
People consider me mad for declaring myself Emperor of California and the Protector of Mexico after going bust on bummer of a rice deal. That they only honor my self minted money and decrees out of shear sympathy and an excuse to give me a free meal without embarrassing me. With that in mind even I, Emperor Joshua A Norton I of California, firmly maintain that only a truly pathetic loser would rattle of quotes from some stupid soft porn books like Gor like it was wisdom of the ages.

Damn you to hell. You stole an idea for my blog.
If only I’d not been so damned drunk when the slave/master language of the LL remarks made me fall out of my chair, spilling beer everywhere.
Hmmm…will we be seeing silks and collars on roly-poly DB managers, forced to their dimpled knees in titillating humiliation??
GAWD. I’m blind. I need another drink!
LOL

This is kind of like when I was told that they really do call them ‘male’ and ‘female’ ports on computers. Except there was no one else around to act clueless and make poor and pointless esoteric gorean comparisons that aren’t funny.

I suppose you’re going to tell me that the jumper on my slave hard drive is actually a collar?
Congratulation on you highschool-IT-class joke.
