Dear Americans,

[blamebrampton]

On the whole, I love you. I have long loved many of your countrymen, sometimes from afar as with Frank Capra and Katherine Hepburn, and sometimes from up close as with some very lucky young people in the 1980s and '90s.

I think your land is beautiful, your governments uniformly mad, your religious leaders alternately inspiring and depressing and your jazz miraculous.

But.

I would like to impose a rule on you all. If you cannot say the word penis, you may not handle, draw, write about or otherwise involve yourself with them. Babytalk derivatives do not count. Similarly, the F-bomb and C-bomb may no longer be. "That person used an expletive I am not comfortable with" or "Fuck me! She said cunt!" are your two options.

That is all, please go about your business.

With love,
Brammers

Big fan of the penis, here! And I would totally support this rule, but I haven't a clue why it would be needed in our slashy world (or is this a more general problem that I am, as usual, completely ignorant of). Hell, given the usage of other words in our fics (context, people, it's all about context) I would think penis is the least of anyone's concerns . It's a nice word. Can I handle a few now? :D

Yes. You may have your penis licence first class and handle unsupervised. (Is it wrong that I now want badges for this?)

And god I love your icon.

Oooh, can I have one of those flip out badges like the cops have? So want to walk up to someone and flip my badge and say 'Penis Inspection - drop trou and present. I'm licensed, you know?'

*blushes* Thank you. I made it from some lovely art Sherant did. You're welcome to use it with credits. :)

I think I will just come back to this comment and admire regularly!

A flip badge would be brilliant. And there should be some venue where you could work officially! Maybe at clubs, checking veracity ...
