Many
have inquired as to the identity and person of
Excursus, of course we cannot do that, what fun
would that be? Besides, we wouldn't want to see
Excursus hunted by Hassan the "Critic"
Hunter and His sleens. We hope everyone enjoys
the Interview.Question:: Why did You
want to do a channel review column?
Excursus::
I suppose it was to add a humorous side to the
paper... there seems to be so much bitter talk
back and forth. This way maybe we can all laugh a
bit at ourselves and one another. Always remember
that Excursus is not laughing AT you, He is
laughing BECAUSE of you...
Question::
What is Your opinion of White Silk?
Excursus::
*chuckle* They are
fine if they aren't on my lap! I think it has a
place while girls learn... but in truth, a girl
serving men in a Gorean tavern or Inn should not
be so restricted. It is unfortunate so many are
just here for the sexual aspects that this has
become such a common practice to keep non-Goreans
from hounding one's wenches.
*Excursus
watches as lassie{Aldr} stares at his lap*
Question::
Master seems to get His fair share of white silk
serving wenches, do You feel that is the luck of
the draw or are they sent to You by the channel
as a result of Your first impression?
Excursus::
That is hard to say... I would imagine it is a
combination of things, luck being one. But if
there are several men in a place, they will have
the more experienced girls already busy!
Remember, I go in as an unknown... I would think
you would send the most pleasing to a new
client...but...
Question::
Why does Master have a habit of unceremoniously
urinating on the furs?
Excursus::
Me? urinate on furs? I think that is an unfair
question! *laugh* Actually, If you read
back, it has only happened ONCE on purpose...and
I *had* been drinking even then.
*lassie{Aldr}
notes the "innocent tone" in the
Master's voice. <yeahrght.wav>*
Question::
What entices You to a tavern?
Excursus::
Topics and patronage. Either a big gathering or
an interesting topic. Once in awhile, I will just
choose at random or notice a new place that has
recently opened and just go. You must realize
that I have visited many, but have written about
few. Some sit on the back burner of my cluttered
life waiting for more information from a second
visit, while others simply do not have what I
look for in my writting. A simple tavern review
would be boring in my opinion, so along with the
imparted information I add what I HOPE is humor.
There are times when I wonder if I have that
tagging along, because if I cease to be
entertaining, I cease to write.
Question::
Is part of the review process to see how quickly
You can be kicked/banned or is that something
Master does for amusement?
Excursus::
Neither! at times I will press on certain
issues...but it is generally to find answers.
Getting kicked is part of the job, but not one I
particularly enjoy or strive for. I would never
do anything PUPOSELY to get that type of
reaction...
*Excursus
whistles... wondering who has bought that answer*
Question::
What kind of Man, would You say Excursus is?
Excursus::
A Master... The kind that is strong, but still
remembers that there is pleasure in laughing. It
is also the way I really am when I drop this
personna. I don't stop being what I am when I
review or write, and that might be how someone
realizes who I really am.
Question::
Do You feel Excursus is large on Ego?
Excursus::
It is somewhat of an exciting thing to do. Enter
a place incognito, see it through your eyes, and
tell the tale to hundreds of readers. But I try
to maintain an objective view, even to the point
of not reviewing places I know (or have had
previous problems) to maintain a fair opinion. It
is somewhat of an ego boost, but I try and keep
it all in perspective.
*lassie{Aldr}
remains calm and polite only her eyes revealing
the laughter inside*
Question::
Would You say Excursus has a slight paga problem?
Excursus::
Well, depends on what you consider a problem!
*Excursus
envisions himself standing, "Tal, I am
Excursus... and I'm a pagaholic"... Nooooo
Question::
What would You do if Your true Identity was ever
discovered?
Excursus::
It depends... there are those who know, and some
who seem to think they know, yet do not run
around with the information. If it is widely
known, then I would probably quit reviewing. The
whole idea is based on the persons in the place
not knowing the reviewer is with them.
Question::
Some would call Your actions crude, others would
call them Gorean - what is Your definition of a
Gorean Master?
Excursus::
Ouch... *lassy{Aldr} looks to see if the
Master has been bitten by an urt* don't ask
any easy ones. Gorean masters are those who
practice a philosophy attributed to certain works
by Norman. In reality, they tend to express
themselves as they TRULY feel, and not as they
think they should by some other persons
definition of what is "proper".
Question::
When You have to do a negative review, what are
the hopes You have for the channel receiving that
negative review?
Excursus::
Again this is dependant on the channel and the
depth of the negativity. For some, there would be
a hope of a few laughs and some changes, while
there are some places that really have no hope
because they are simply NOT Gorean. But the idea
of the review is for the readers of the paper to
laugh and enjoy...maybe even visit. Whatever else
may come from the writing is incidental.
Question::
Has there ever been a time, when You had wished
to tell a channel that Your reviewing,
"Excursus is here!"
Excursus::
Oh yes, *laughs* many times in my short
career... But I think the realization when the
write up is read in the paper is much more
startling, even though I am not there to
experience it.
Question::
Do you feel popups should be allowed for serving?
For dancing?
Excursus::
For dancing, yes... because it needs to be timed
so well. Also because the girl sits and thinks
and writes the dance... while serving is an
outlet for the girls to show their belly. But I
have seen some amazing dances... that were all
spontaneous
Question::
What in your opinion is the difference between a
serious Gorean channel and a
"Disney-Gor" channel?
Excursus::
It is in the philosophy of the people there... If
you do not live it, you cannot have it.
Question::
Have You ever gone back to a channel reviewed
under Your regular personna to see what reactions
if any they have to Your review?
Excursus::
It is rare, but I have gone back to some
channels... not really to see about my review,
but because I liked the place. If the column
seems to indicate I would not visit again,
chances are that I would not. But again, It is
rare that I go to a place that I know, because it
would be hard to be objective. And like many, I
am a creature of habit and tend to stay where I
am welcomed and known.
Question::
What is Your opinion of open in channel usage
(sexual) of slaves?
Excursus::
Depends if I am involved! It doesn't bother me
any...but I can see why some channels do not want
it...it would bring all the horny fucks
a'runnin'. Well, that is the inate problem...it
is a very Gorean thing, but a channel being made
up of all Goreans is rare. Besides, most of the
tavern patrons did find a little privacy in the
alcoves for serious sex in the novels. (see the
channel review)
Question::
What are your feelings regarding same-sex
relations among slaves?
Excursus::
It is nothing that bothers me... especially if it
is done for my pleasure. I wouldnt want to have
two KAJIRUS' having each other anywhere near me! *laughs* Say, you
don't have some SURPRISE lined up for me tonight,
do you?
*lassie{Aldr}
remains VERY quiet*
Question::
In doing Your reviews, What do You feel the
taverns/inns need more of? (ie: entertainment,
conversation, service, etc)
Excursus::
Assuming that I did know what makes a perfect
tavern... I think that a LITTLE humor and fun can
go a long way. So many places are too tight
assed. Of course, some go WAY too far the other
end of that spectrum. Taverns and halls and inns
and castles (whatever those are) all have their
own unique flavor. It is easy in some cases to
say, "This place needs more pleasing
serves", just as you can tell some recipes
need more salt. But to say they ALL need one
particular thing is difficult. I would suppose
they all need more Goreans... (slaves in
particular) because you can't have enough of them
around in my opinion!
*Excursus
notices lassie{Aldr} staring at the region of his
crotch*
Question::
On the Male anatomy, what would Master say is the
size of His?
Excursus::
Now...is that REALLY pertinent? *shakes his
head* All I can say is HUGE balls... *laughs
again...pointing*
*lassie{Aldr}
salivates and squirms*
Question::
What is the proper way to fondle a slave?
Excursus::
With both hands...make them wiggle...drive them
insane... make them beg, squirm, hop
around...etc.
*Excursus
shows lassie{Aldr} his technique*
*lassie{Aldr}
wiggles, squirms, pants, fans herself with her
silks, skin flushing*
Question::
How many copper tarsks does it take to equal a
silver tarsk?
Excursus::
How would I know? I rarely have two tarsk bits to
rub together! It isn't like this job comes with a
huge expense account or anything of THAT sort... *grumbles a
bit*
*lassie{Aldr}
notices the tattered clothing and makes note for
the paper to get Him a new tunic!*
Question::
You have one slave tangent{EX}, given the
popularity of Excursus, is Master considering
others?
Excursus::
You assume that I have but one...because you only
SEE one... But, no, I don't plan on putting the
{EX} on any others. And I doubt I am breaking any
little slave hearts out there! *laughs one
more time*
