held at a half-cocked postion all night, but being held back from firing.

(I'm goingto regret this...) Now Robert, you wouldn't want it to go off half-cocked, would you?

"half cock noun
The position of the hammer of a firearm when it is raised halfway and locked by a catch so that the trigger cannot be pulled."

But sir!

Shirley you jest about an innocent post being held half-cocked all night!

I mean, Miss Rika wouldn't be THAT cruel, would she?

(Now, Misstress Sea might be .... But considering she's a professional at riding mounties and all.... And Sea can ride mounties without even one strip of video tape holding her on!)

(But I digress ...)

Miss Rika - Surely "she" wouldn't do such a thing.

(Hmmmmn. Ponders the issue at hand a bit ..)

Now, Xsex has already gone off half-cocked already - figuring the abominabull circumcisstance she put xsexlesspuppy through.......
