*keeps talking whilst bleeding*
I feel this day has taken a rather unfortunate turn. I was using those guts.
*whilst being attacked*

OW!

How much for this crossbow bolt?

EDIT: Oh, would you look at that? The bolt was deflected by (all) the (many) gold coins (that you gave me) in my money pouch... Ain't that something?

Yes, I was about to ask how many Gold Coins you have exactly, back there.

I've nearly hit my target of 100 gold coins!
Actually, my original target was 500, but 100 seems enough to hire a bunch of thugs to ransack your shop.
Say, I don't suppose you could lend me 20 gold coins, could you?

Wait... Don't I know you from somewhere?
Beerheart? Sounds familiar... Ah yes, it's the location of the next goblin-elf joint attack.
The latest news is that they've joined forces to burn Beerheart to the ground.

EDIT: also, humans don't exist, that's just a long time propaganda tool by drunken kobolds. All those humans you think you've been seeing? Really just tall and shaven dwarves. How do kobolds communicate or spread propaganda without language? Uh, drawings and bodily gestures... Sometimes they make neat little engravings... in the sides of elves... not when they're drunk though. Usually they just vomit.

Oh, good.
Well, the way I hear it, the goblins are sort of west, or maybe south from here. They also live in either a big mountain or a forest, or possibly both.
The elves are filthy cannibals. Great dancers though, and the women are just *licks lips* SO HOT. But that's to be expected when stewing meat.
Now, do I hear another 50 Gold Coins for information about their military tactics, strategies, equipment, sex lives, mother's maiden names and pet's names?

For another 10 Gold Coins, I know more about the goblin-elf war than either a goblin or an elf. What do you say?

*half a day passes*

Hello there! Do you have any deliveries going?
Oh wait, you're the shop that sent me!
Sorry about that, I thought this was a different shop.

Anyway, my horse ate all the plump helmets, and I've spent the gold coins you gave me on prostitutes.

By the way, did you say you were in need of longland beer? I have a flask with me.
I may be persuaded to part with it, for, oh, I don't know, ONE MILLION GOLD COINS?
No wait, that's silly. How about, 10 Gold Coins?

Can you REALLY afford to waste beer? *looks condescendingly*
Yes, I will surely deliver those plump helmets or die trying!
Also, I will come back with the swords and shields soon-ish.
Cheerio! Try not to go bankrupt in the meantime!
Also, I assume I will get a share of 20% of this delivery, making it... let's see, 5 plump helmets for me and my horse's troubles?

Soooo.... Any news? Need anything delivered? Or can I interest you in bartering for these 500 steel sword & shield sets?
I have them just here *rummages in cloak* I swear I could have put them... somewhere...
Well, they're somewhere nearby, and I'll trade for, oh, I dunno, say the contents of your entire shop? Shall we call it a deal?

1. Plenty of other animals are monogamous, and stay with one partner for their whole life.
2. "Pervert" just means "a person whose sexual behavior is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable." As such, I would challenge its unironic use in any situation, save bestiality and rape. (And I'm not even sure about the former.)

Are you referring to me?

1. Humans are unique in that they stay together and rear their children in families for longer, and with infinitely more attention than any other animal. How many animals mate, and stay with their mate to do parenting for 20+ years until the children are fully grown? Humans do.
2. I meant it literally. Aleister Crowley dubbed himself "the wickedest man alive" and "the great beast" and was known to haunt prostitutes. He probably did much more sick, occult shit which can only be termed as perversion. He founded the popularity of "eroto-comatose lucidity" in the western world. It was known for thousands of years by ancient sages prior. Crowley also probably indulged in paedophilia, cannibalism etc. so, is that perverted enough?

Good story, and details, but the ending was not very good.

But perhaps that is because I subscribe to both schools and favour neither.

If anything, the master dodger should have proved "If you can't hit it, what's the point in hitting?"

Zen, especially, has a rich and beautiful history of these.
You don't have to be enlightened to write them, but just seeking it at least.
Care to try? Here are a few of my own. Feel free to write your own and post them!

I like to do tantra, of all kinds. Somehow, sex is not merely a physical act, but mental and spiritual, when you do it with the correct partner.

Sex and sexuality should make you more, a better person. Believing in love is just so... right... and somehow so very sexy. Like the tenderness of loving a woman who is bearing your child... somehow, sex is more than touching, but making relationships, and futures.

We shouldn't become less for sexuality, degraded or seeking pleasure. Our experiences should not take away from our hearts, until we feel there is something missing. Our hearts should not protest at the emptiness of our lives, even if our hearts enjoy the pleasure of sex, it will ultimately ache.

Sex is a part of us, how we were all born (how almost every living thing was born) and we shouldn't be ashamed or embarrassed. We should try to understand, accept and become one with our nature, the meaning of life (is to give life) and love (is unconditional).

Having children is a form of life after death, somehow carrying a part of us in them. We become traumatised by contact with sexual partners so badly that we can never forget, and so excited by sex that we wish to die.
When sex is sterile, there is no pleasure. Sex is a performance too, and so is half-sex. Even thoughts and speech about sex is a sexual performance.
On the one hand, sex gives us power: "I'm your partner, look how fertile I am"
on the other, it robs us of power: "I love you, I want you, I need you"
but humans can say what no being has ever said before with understanding: "I want to have children with you" "I want to share everything with you"

Why waste important parts of your life with people who don't care for you?
The show of life is enjoyed by those who love it.
The show of sex is best enjoyed by those who love you, and who you love.

If it is so important, why not treat it as a form of meditation? After all, it does put you in a trance state, and this was even noted by the ancient tantric and taoist sages and even satanic perverts.
They all understood the power of sex on the psyche: The unconscious male and female, the desire to intimate, reproduce, nurture and grow/create.

It is very telling that humans live with their parents for the longest time out of any animal. Sex means commitment, and child rearing. When a human being chooses a mate, it chooses a mate that will raise children for up to 20 years!
No other species is reared for such a long time until adulthood. We select for a future.
And when we forget that sex is, and has been, our future, we forget our past, our ancestors, and everything that makes us, us.

Tantra is so deep and immersive, and so very beautiful when you are in love. It is the fulfillment of our existence.
In just a moment, you may experience eons, or 6 hours may pass like the blink of an eye.
It is such an intense form of concentration, that left naturally, it is, at best, destructive and wild, but when mastered it is both restrained and powerful.

It is really quite truly moving to be loved by someone who cares SO much, and tells you with every touch, kiss and caress, how they will always be there for you, wants to be there for you, wants to have children with you, and live their life with you, happily until death.
To look in the eyes of one's lover whilst in meditative trance is like looking into the ocean, or a sea of stars in which you see your own self merging for the purpose of which you came together...
Sometimes base and rude- it is always overlooked,
Sometimes pure and good- it is always appreciated

Try running a fort really badly and keep a tavern. I'm sure some of your dwarves will try to kill each other/themselves there eventually.

I have to agree with 74s here. I've learned through trial and error in my early years that you can quite literally expend your mental energy while exercising if you focus and concentrate on the muscle area groups in particular. This has beneficial effects instead of feeling all worn out and sore you can use your head to work your body. Mind over matter as they say in a simplified, better IMHO form. If you'd like me to elaborate on how I specifically did it, feel free to ask.

PS an example: if you simply run up a flight of stairs but concentrate mentally on the muscle groups while having a fixed endpoint, you can exercise your muscles far more and less strenuously.

Mind over matter indeed. You always hear stories about how mothers can lift cars off their children. You don't have to be in a life-or-death situation, but it helps if you concentrate a lot, and practice.
Actually, if you can get into lucid dreaming, you can control and feel your body more intensely, sometimes I can move my limbs whilst I'm laying asleep in bed. It also helps if you have pain, you can concentrate on it much whilst sleeping. I've found that examining the organs as well as muscles also helps, because of how hormones affect your body's homeostasis. A little something to do with how the body repairs itself faster when it's asleep.
Make sure you get good nutrition if you're starting exercise, or attempting to repair your body through meditation/concentration: it depletes your reserves of things:
Sugar

Water

Salt

Also get protein, and vitamins and minerals etc. I won't go into it, because it's a LOT and it varies wildly. You should really ask your doctor, or consult medical advice, but use !SCIENCE! as well, and figure out what works for you.

EDIT:
Don't forget the various Oils that the body needs.
