…but someone just offered me $140 cash (they started at $100, and went up when I said “oh HELL naw”) just to put a paid “guest editorial” on this site.

I refused it, despite being in a way financially where I could really use that kinda dough for nothin’.

(To be clear, the person who contacted me was very polite, professional, not pushy even when they raised their offer and just doing their job, so thank you, if you’re reading this, for that.)

I’ve got some small, legacy examples of referral things on this site that I just haven’t killed yet. I killed a couple that were on the Help A Brother Out page just now, along with finally changing the donation button over to WePay. I do have a Dreamhost referral link on that page, but Dreamhost have put up with me for ages and done so with a smile, so I don’t have a problem with that as long as their usual service continues on par with what I’ve experienced so far. If it ever changes, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it did in this merger-crazy world, I’ll adjust my sails accordingly and let you all know, loudly.

I swore off full-on ads on my sites (not just this one) a ways back, and it feels good. When you accept ads, you’re basically staking your name and reputation on someone else’s bullshit, and a lot can go wrong there. It also puts you in a position where you may need to self-censor, and I don’t even have to tell you how I feel about that.

A somewhat related story I don’t mind sharing (and may have told before at some point, so forgive me if I’m repeating myself), just because of the ridiculousness and sheer hypocrisy of it: as some astute hairy-palmed readers of this site may remember, I was using AdBrite as an ad provider for a while many years ago. Suddenly, one day, they replaced all of the non-adult ads they were serving me with porn ads. I didn’t want that. I wanted a mix of adult and non-adult content, since not everyone who reads my site does so because they’ve come here looking for smut. Well, in conversation with Philip Kaplan, the founder of AdBrite, he told me that he was unwilling to do that anymore, since it put his non-adult customers at risk of being seen as advertising on adult sites (apparently, his database programmers hadn’t wrapped their head around the idea of a non-binary solution to ad serving; I don’t know if they have yet…), and some of these clients were very big-money. Disney were namedropped at this point. Continuing on, Mr. Kaplan actually suggested to me that, if I wanted to use AdBrite’s services the way I wanted to, changing my site’s name might be a good idea. Now, I’m not sure if Philip Kaplan’s name rings a bell to any of you, but outside of programming circles and Web insider circles, he’s perhaps best known by his pseudonym, Pud, as the founder of the web site FuckedCompany. Yes, if you’re keeping score, the FuckedCompany guy, a guy who made his bones on a dirty word and actually had to fight for it himself if memory serves, told the My Big, Black Cock guy to change his site’s name, because it wasn’t Disney-friendly enough. I’ll leave you all to draw your own conclusions there, and Pud, if you’re reading this, I do still have the messages saved, so don’t even try to front.

Some may ask how donations differ from advertising payments and I say this: in the case of a donation, people are giving me money to continue not giving a fuck, because that’s what I do and their support suggests that they want me to continue doing it. That’s implied to be part of the transaction, just by the nature of the site (and its operator) that they’re donating toward. I may actually make that explicit on the donation page at some point soon.

Beyond that, I’ve actually got a lot of work to do on this site soon. Many things need to be cleaned up, upgraded and so forth. I don’t think I’m changing the very old web site theme I’ve used for the past decade (just because I’m as amused as all get-out that I use the same theme that both The Ultimate Warrior and the sadly-gone-but-not-forgotten Way To Suck That Dick used at various points), but a lot about this site needs to be upgraded.

Then, of course there’s that small matter of me actually writing anything of substance on it, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to let someone else tell my story for me, and use that story explicitly to sell stuff I don’t use and you probably don’t need.

“I WANT TO SWALLOW YOUR BIG BLACK COCK WITH MY ASS AND MOUTH

CUM FEED ME NOW”

Eric, with all due respect, that’s some “Call Of Cthulhu” sounding shit right there, son. An ass that swallows cocks? Does it have teeth, too, or does it just…swallow them? It’d better be careful swallowing entire big black cocks like that. I would hate for your ass, creepy as it is, to choke to death. I mean, how would whoever found your body explain that or process that? This is also the first black cock-swallowing ass I’ve ever heard of, so I’d of course be worried about the species going extinct if something were to happen to it. In short, please tell your ass to be careful when swallowing entire black cocks at once.

Anyway, folks, I’m not interested in Eric that way, but if you’re into this sort of thing, I’ve left Eric’s email at the top of this page.
