proximoceptionWhat are some things you like but tend not to admit liking out of fear you'll be castigated?
Usually when I ask this kind of question I go first as a gesture of hospitality. But here my naked motive is that I want to castigate someone. Will it be you or must a stranger suffer?
Relatedly, how fucking great a word is "castigate"? It's a shame it means castigate. Rather than casting a gate across a fence, which is maximum punk rock. Because we think of casting as an offhand gesture. To toss aside a gate requires great strength. As well as disdain for bystanders. Perhaps it is this that attracts me about the word and makes me want to castigate you.
I wrote this after finding out people tend to hate Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny. I refuse to say whether I agree with them.
Anyone who reads this and does not respond runs a risk they can probably guess.
