One Out Of One Anonymous Commenters Agree: This Is My Worst Post Ever!
From Wikipedia: the word 'sabotage' originates "from the early industrial age, when powered looms could be damaged by wooden shoes (known in French as sabots)."
In other words, when sabot-wearing employees wanted to cause trouble at their workplace, they would throw their wooden shoes into the machinery in an effort to shut the factory down. Which, for me, raises a question: were Dutch workers to go on strike using the same method, would they be commiting acts of "clogotage"? And, taking this a little further, let's say these same disgruntled Dutchmen then proceed to throw their wooden shoes at three people having sex: would they be committing an act of "Ménage a Clogotage"? I have to say...yes. Yes they would.

It really is. Since I've been sort of writers blocked, I wanted to just pull up an empty post, write and write, then hit enter. Um...now I'm regretting it.

That seems out of character for dutchmen.
I recall a friend of mine telling me about this erotica museum he visited in Amsterdam. He said he was walking under this exhibit, and he gets a weird feeling. He turns around to discover that sure enough he has just walked underneath a a giant dick. He said it was a very disconcerting feeling.

Oh, and my point is that the dutch are not prudes, so why would they break up the sex when they could join in?

On the other hand, maybe throwing clogs at people having sex is seen as a good thing. If you like clogs, it'd be like a "Great sex! Here, you deserve a clog for that!"
As long as they're not aiming for your head, that is.

What a dilemma for the shoe fetishist... to protest working conditions by sacrificing a fine wooden shoe? How horrifying! Would the fine finish and the delicate woodgrain get scuffed, scarred, damaged? Schiese!! I guess we would have to consult a history of shoe fetishism to gain insight into this philosophical quandary.
All the same, I don't think it was a bad post at all. Very thought-provoking, in fact!!

I would think if they were throwing the shoes in to improve the sex, then they would be throwing pumps. Don't you think sex is always better with a little pump action?

Hehehehe. I'm way to easily amused by low brow humour.

Hi Matt,
I am saying goodbye to blogging, not because I want to but because of circumstances beyond my control. I will be leaving the blogosphere during the next seven to ten days. I will be able to chronicle my departure, which will provide interesting blog reading.
Thanks for your support and blog friendship! Your humor and insights are truly delightful!
Donald
