Back in my teen years, a radio station (hey kids! remember radio?) had recently come on the air, and had occasional technical problems, as any new venture is wont to do. The evening DJ would blame it on the cheap help in the engineering booth, a cranky monkey. If there was a bout of wrong songs, missed cues, or the dreaded Dead Air, it was because of that dang monkey. One evening, there was a glitch in the boards somewhere, and the phone-in giveaway didn't go off like it should. So the DJ excused himself, and there was the sound of a scuffle, then the shrieks of a chimp accompanied by slapping sounds and the voice of the DJ saying, "Bad monkey! Bad monkey!" Then you hear him come back in, fiddle with the mic, and he said, "After that goof-up, I just had to go out and spank the monkey!" I couldn't believe that he stretched out his set-up for so long before he landed that punchline.AnotherFairportfan wrote:Glad to know i'm not the only one.oldmanmickey wrote:so so many way that tail could get one into trouble. and we will not discuss the first thing that went through my mind when the sprout yelled about choking her tail.

Does this mean that if she refers to it as her 'devil tail', she can always claim- "Th' DEVIL made me do it!!!"

I was thinking that it acts on her subconscious emotions and desires (i.e. self-loathing).kingklash wrote:Remember the old "Dinosaucers" show? The bad guys had an insult based on the idea that some dinos had a secondary brain down by the tail to help manage signals from the main one due to the massive size they could reach. So when one of the crew messed up, the T-Rex leader would call him "Tail for brains."
So, either Cutie Tail does have her own small brain to help her be prehensile, or she's Atsali's Succubus side with this being the only way to assert herself right now. At least she isn't another mouth to feed.
And, being that it is a new appendage, Atsali is is going to have to work on controlling this very evident new self-preservation reflex
Hmmm... I wonder if this whole semi-autonomous tail thing would count as some sort of a dissociative disorder.

Following is NSFW . There is a web comic - Silk and Honey . The Star is an Incubus with a tail that she can use if she is attacked sexually . If you have youngsters - make sure you delete this.

If the aggressive appendage continues to schmack her in the face, she could be facing a Shiner Syndrome.kingklash wrote:Alien Tail Syndrome?Gyrrakavian wrote:I was thinking that it acts on her subconscious emotions and desires (i.e. self-loathing).kingklash wrote:Remember the old "Dinosaucers" show?

Of course, if flatulence and knitting become involved, we will have a ripping good yarn!
And even I am asking myself, where in the fudd did that come from...
