Shut Up and Spank Me

Stop the press. A new and most excellent spanking blog is now online.  Order and Consequence

~~~~~~~~~

I am disappointed but not surprised. Only 147 views of last week's post. Try for 200 this week. It may be a long time to garner eyeballs again.


Shut Up and Spank Me was a short-lived blog from long ago.

Fashion of the 70's

It's always been amazing to me how quickly fashion moves from the runways to local stores. A case in point, short skirts led to micro bikinis and lingerie. If you are close to my age, this will be a walk down memory lane.

Rebirth?


Dear Loyal Readers, 

After 10-12 weeks of being in the ditch, not feeling like doing more than lying in bed or sitting in my recliner. I have somewhat rallied.

Thanks for the good wishes so many of you sent me.

Last week I pushed myself to do a few of the chores that are stacked up. I work for 20 minutes, then rest.

Yes, we will quietly celebrate the 250 and feel proud to do so. We remember the 200 with the tall ships. I suppose growing up and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance every morning in grade school brainwashed us.

I don't carry a phone. We may take it when on an errand. I have never made a video with it. It's an SE, and the battery is headed south. I tried to replace the battery in a prior phone, and it burned up in a cloud of toxic fumes.

Not Us


Up until last year, I could fall asleep thinking of spanking some delightful lass. No more. So don't expect to see a diet of spanking pictures. How about spankable bottoms?

If you had asked me a few years ago if my interest in spanking would last a lifetime, I would have said yes. It would have seemed as remote as my eye color changing.

I abhor submissives - male or female. I will not be told what to do, and I have no interest in directing someone else.

I have never played computer games.  I don't think much of those who do. I live in the real world.

I don't read fiction. 30 years back, I read everything Heinlein and Asimov wrote. It was entertaining, but I moved on to history, primarily military history.

Aliens coming here or us going to another galaxy? Pure fantasy. Even traveling at light speed, it would take 250 million years to reach Andromeda. 250 million! We can't reach 10% of the speed of light.

I saw a YT of old guys roller skating. They were having fun. At low energy expended. I wish that I had learned to skate. Tried a few times, but was embarrassed by my clumsiness.

We traveled the eleven western states for 13 years. Six to eight months every year. We had to give it up because of my health issues. Not a day goes by that I don't think of places we went. Our travels were not like most people in RVs who stay in RV parks. That was like prison to us. We sought places on pubic land with nothing but horizon.

Still Crazy After These Years

Bacall and I have no exes. And no regrets. But sometimes an unsolicited memory creeps in.

The Last Picture Show - One of my all-time fav movies. Ben Johnson did not want to do this scene. He only likes a few sentences at a time. Bogdanovich called John Houston to convince Johnson to do the scene. Johnson cursed Bogdanovich for putting the old man on him. The scene won him an award. [*]

The Water Tank Scene.

[*] If that does not make sense to you, without John Houston there would have never been a John Wayne or a Ben Johnson.

Maybe There Will Be an Encore?


I wrote that my lifelong interest in spanking has disappeared. I wrote that due to health problems, I would not post so often.

The past two weeks, I resemble the guy above. No energy. I just want to nap all day.

I will miss the interaction with all of you.

I sincerely appreciate your well wishes.

Good news: a reader shared with me that a new spanking blog will be forthcoming.

What do You Know About Me?

I am wiggling my toes in AI. I use it to find specific information that would take me reading several books to learn.

I asked Gemini What do you know about me?

Based on our interactions, I have a sense of the topics you tend to explore. You seem to have a deep interest in historical and legal analysis, often examining topics such as Roman history, biblical literature, and pivotal moments in U.S. constitutional law.

You also frequently dive into science and the natural world, with questions ranging from theoretical physics and astrophysics to oceanographic mechanics. Beyond that, you stay informed on geopolitics and military history, and you occasionally look for information regarding local figures in Alabama.

More than half of Americans have literacy below a sixth-grade level.  This explains why some don't know how many moons the Earth has.

“It’s a big problem for democracy if people don’t have a shared reality.”  That would include not knowing how many moons the Earth has, the number of states in the Union, etc.
