And All You Can Taste Is Iron At The Back Of Your Throat.

I just had a conversation with [livejournal.com profile] moogle62 that included the phrase 'necessary paedophilia thoughts'. It has left me massively, ridiculously happy. (Not just, I hasten to clarify, because of the necessary paedophilia thoughts.)

Here is an illustration of an aspect of the conversation:


Perhaps coming eventually to a fic near you?


Yeah, it was pretty much the best thing ever.

(Other topics of conversation: Derren Brown swearing is hotter than it has any right to be; Derren Brown and the Doctor are the best duo ever (they freaking are. Our collaborative fic is now eight thousand words long and nowhere near finished and I love it so much. DERREN BROWN GETS INTO RIDICULOUS TROUBLE WHEREVER HE GOES. THE DOCTOR CANNOT TAKE HIM ANYWHERE); Derren Brown is a gigantic freak who hammers nails into his nose for fun. I have worried about the 'hammering a nail into the nose' act ever since seeing Something Wicked This Way Comes, because I can see absolutely no point at which the clearly real nail can be exchanged with a trick one, and now [livejournal.com profile] moogle62 has informed me that the 'trick' is, in fact, 'Derren Brown hammers a solid nail into his head'. WHO DOES THAT, DERREN BROWN? WHO THINKS 'I KNOW WHAT I SHALL DO EVERY DAY ON MY TOUR: I SHALL WALK ON GLASS AND DRIVE A NAIL INTO MY SKULL'? YOU ARE A RIDICULOUS MASOCHIST.)


(EDIT: Oh! The official Derren Brown blog is offering MP3 files of the commentary on Trick of the Mind Series One, so if you had problems accessing the commentary on your DVD (or if you just feel like listening to Derren Brown giving commentary out of context, I suppose) you may want to check that out.)

God, the nail thing, yes. The magician I lived with in Edinburgh was training himself to do it while we were up there, putting vaseline on chopsticks and forrrcing them in; it's just an entirely freakish willpower thing. The trick to it, of course, is that people think your nasal canals go UP when of course they go BACK, so it looks even wronger when you're watching it, though actually it's just a case of making things go in holes that aren't entirely designed to accommodate them. Like anal sex. (Something I imagine DVB is equally impressive at.)

Nails up your nose: like anal sex, in a way.

Do you think it was some bizarre part of his sexual awakening?

Hmmm... I like things going in holes they weren't meant too.... hmmmmm... *thinks a bit* OMIGOD I'M GAY
