May 4, 2006: A Hot Review
Comments: 0 | Categories: Buzz , Floggers

It starts out quiet and then gets pretty hot and heavy towards the end: I got paddled last night for no other reason than to try out a new implement Abel bought for us a few weeks ago. It’s an enormous tyre paddle.... In fact, if Judge Dredd dispatched judicial paddlings, this would be exactly the sort of implement that would be used to deliver them.... Anyway, we felt like playing last night, but I was too tired to come up with a role-play, so it was going to be a good old just-because paddling with a gigantic chunk of rubber.... With the first stroke Abel must have intended to imprint tyre tracks on my butt, because he whacked so hard I couldn’t even scream for about three seconds.... I'm told they'll be posting "in the next few weeks about various implements in our collection, with photos," and will have more to say about the Monster Mechanic then.
