Stand and Deliver

Does not mean give a speech.

I;ve never quite figured out how this ever came to mean get up and explain your calculus homework.

As I was visiting the famed Chateau Roissy
I met with a submissive Miss O
On knees she kneeled, waiting.
I first removed my codpiece,
And then produced my rapier.
Said stand and deliver, for you exist for my pleasure...

You'll confuse the poor thing. First you tell her to kneel and then you tell her to stand. Have you seen the movie version of the Story of O? It was kind of lame if memory serves.

The original 1975 movie version with Corinne Clery & Udo Kier ? It's excellent. One of the best pieces of contemporary erotica made.. (erotica, not porn).. but it does differ from the novella by Pauline Reage in that its not a dark and the general theme is more Top/Bottom BDSM rather than Master and Property. The end of the novella is dark and disturbing..

I remember it being erotic all right, and very beautifully filmed, but I left the theater feeling unhappy with it and after all these years I can't remember why. Possibly just because I thought the people were embarrassingly silly.

I snuck in to see it in '75 .. I was 16.. I just remember Corinne Clery was great looking and naked a lot.. story ? what story? I dont recall a story.. I had to watch it again years later after I'd calmed down ..

I was about 25 when I saw it, so I was less impressionable, and I've never been particularly interested in naked girls per se, although the activities the naked girls engaged in with guys were not uninteresting.

You guys are killing me.

So, Craig, do you like Metallica's version of this song?
