Buying Bondage Rope
I thought this bit from Descent Into The Dungeon [link died and was removed] was pretty entertaining:
Last night i went to the hardware store and bought some rope. Unless you have ever bought rope for the purpose of tying someone up (or being tied yourself), you do not realize how pervy it feels to call around to price out rope. i called several hardware stores in the city, to see who carried braided nylon rope, 3/8 inch thickness. Finally i settled on Home Depot, where you can buy it for 57 cents a foot.
i had a few errands to run so i hit Home Depot last. i felt kind of funny as i strolled to the hardware isle, where a sign proclaimed i would find rope and chain, my two favorite things! i was full of anticipation as i looked over the various types of rope, all innocently displayed on large spools. i found the rope that i was looking for. i hoped that i could buy it pre-packaged and avoid the potential embarrassment of having to fetch someone to assist me. Alas they only offered pre-packaged twisted nylon in the thickness i wanted. i wandered around until i saw an older gentleman in an orange apron. He did not seem to be otherwise occupied, so i asked him if he would mind helping me with the rope. i followed him back to the isle, thinking that it would be rather funny if he asked what i was going to use the rope for, although i had no clue what i would say. The only obvious purpose i could think of for buying rope is so that MJ could use it to hogtie me naked on our livingroom floor. Maybe the man did not ask as he already new.
Ah, the power of a guilty (or kinky, anyway) conscience!
