Master Excursus of The Gorean Daily Times
     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*
