Q] From Fred: “Could you please tell me where the phrase kick the bucket originated?â€
[A] There are two main theories about this one. One suggests that the word doesn’t refer to our modern bucket at all, but to a sixteenth century word that comes from the French buque, meaning a yoke or similar piece of wood. It is said that the word was applied in particular to the beam from which a pig was hung in order to be slaughtered. Inevitably, the pig would struggle during the process, and would kick the buque.
The expression is attested to in particular by a citation in the Oxford English Dictionary: “The beam on which a pig is suspended after he has been slaughtered is called in Norfolk, even in the present day, a ‘bucket’. Since he is suspended by his heels, the phrase to ‘kick the bucket’ came to signify to die†(I can’t give you a date, as the editors just say it comes from a “modern newspaperâ€, a rather sniffy annotation they used a century ago for sources not considered quite kosher. But it was probably in the 1890s).
The other explanation, much less credible, is that the bucket is the one on which a suicide stands when hanging himself—kick away the bucket and the job is done. I’ve even seen the story attached specifically to the sad end of an ostler working at an inn on the Great North Road out of London. Don’t believe a word of it.

Hmm, yes His Excellency has been spreading like a bad rash. JRV's itchy trigger finger is just not twitchy enough for my taste.

ro, as I understand that you don't work for extreme anymore . . . . what work have you been doing? Have you had any trouble finding work? Do you miss extreme? Sincerely curious, Toe.

correct, i no longer work for extreme. the last couple weeks i have been working on websites and on moving back into the fetish circuit as well....
i have not been actively looking for work, but work has been finding me, which is good.
do i miss extreme.. i miss some things about extreme.... but all in all as much as i respect and love everyone there... i am happier where i am and doing what i am doing. off in my own, i will have some things for y'all in the coming weeks. i have retured to my darker look and style and will be doing very fetishy scenes for my site and some other sites i will be working on.

 Check out Kami's livejournal in a couple of days and see if it was  or maybe medicine. Keiko has a livejournal too.

Okay I'll try to figure this out:
He's right, I want to post. I don't want to bitch, but there is very little to reply to.
Or
He's right I want to post so people don't bitch, but there is very little to reply to.
