Does "bone" mean "enslave" in Australian or something?

I imagine the reverse is true, though: Owning a hot slave of the opposite (or preferred partner) sex would probably lead to boning, right?
Before this discussion gets too creepy with sex slave talk, my bitch:
Been sick with the flu for the past few days, so all my new year's plans went to shit. Weird thing is that I started feeling sick before the holidays, then felt fine during my week out of town for Christmas, then felt even sicker when I returned home and through today (4 days now). Luckily I work for a college which is closed from mid-December through Jan 2, so I don't have to work, but it feels like such a waste of time to be sick with all this free time off.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Best time to catch up with some anime/manga.

I watched a lot of the Breaking Bad marathon on AMC. Still, I would have preferred to have been well so I could have visited friends and family 3 hours away.

It 'bitch' Australian for 'slave'?!

If someone is my bitch, they're submissive to me and do as I say. He can be some errandboy kohai on my social ladder, or some female partner that I abuse etc. I was trying to be "polite" when I used the word slave.

I actually just used the word "bitch" as a vulgar substitute for "girl" (no offense, sapphire!!) to make a lame word play. That´s all. But keep talking about bitch slaves, it´s kinda hot. :>
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
I just remembered when MTV was about music, now I`m mad.

They stopped being about music a long long time ago. Worse was when VH1 stopped being about music.

The worst was when MTV2 (created solely to play music videos and nothing else) reduced it to under three hours, and always at 5am - 7am. I don't think they play them at all anymore.
Who the hell watches TV from 5am to 7am? Some bored security guard sitting alone in his booth, between his patrols? If that was the airing time, they are better off not playing them at all.
Call me an old fogey but I preferred the types of music VH1 played over MTV2.
And that's in Eastern time (I think). In central it was something like 4am-6am. I used to have to set my computer DVR (ATI All-in-Wonder was hi-tech in those days) to record the music blocks so I could see the videos at a more reasonable time.
I was going to bring this up too. TLC and the Weather Channel are the two worst changes to me. You don't learn shit on TLC besides what trashy America lives like. And the Weather Channel has more of the same, with only a few daily blocks of actual weather news.

That's how they got them off regular MTV entirely, I'd wager.
Executive A: "What are our ratings for music videos?"
Executive B: "My people report they are our lowest rated programming."
Producer Z: "Well, the 5-7a slot is pretty dismal, perhaps if we moved them to a better time slot?"
Executive A: "How many reality shows can we re-run?"
[Executive B starts playing with Blackberry...this was mid-2000s]
Producer Z: "Sir, the music videos are made by the music companies, it's free advertising. We don't even pay for them these days."
Executive B: "I can did up some Teenage Pregnancy Wasteland from 2004."
Executive A: "Great!"
Producer Z: "But, if we don't play any music, how will we justify the farce that is the VMAs? The first two letters stand for 'Video Music'."
Executive A: "Hmm, true. Z, reduce music videos to three days a week. 3am through 7am. Cut MTV2 music to 3 hours a day. We can squeeze in a few more reruns of TPW there, along with I'm Too Young to be a Teenage Mother, ya know, the dramatic series."
Executive B: "I just secured the rights to Saved by the Bell. Those "hipster" kids love that shit, don't they?"
Executive A: "Oh? That's fantastic, we'll throw some of that on too. But watch your language B, save it for the back nine."
Producer Z: [Whimpers]
I don't know for the US, but in Europe, or at least France, it's possible to get state money for a Music TV channel.
You just have to meet some requirements on a minimum music time from specific locations. I don't know the actual figures, but it would be like 50% of European music with at least 30% French music.
Then, you get lower tax rates, access to state money, easier channel registration etc...
So if it works the same elsewhere, maybe they then decided to do the bare minimum to still get the advantages...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
The US doesn't have cultural laws like France does, so the FCC really only limits advertising (cigarettes, what's shown during children's shows, etc.) and explicit content.
None of the cable channels show what their demographic was supposed to be anymore.
Animal Planet has reality shows staring humans (tangentially related to animals), TLC (The Learning Channel) has nothing to do with learning at all anymore, History shows little historical (or even factual) anymore, MTV plays little to no music, Science was created after Discovery stopped showing much science and now shows Firefly and other scifi series, SyFy rebranded itself from SciFi because it stopped playing Science Fiction and shifted more to fantasy, AMC (American Movie Classics) first stopped playing classic movies, and now they make their own new series, and I can go on and on.
Novlang, as in 1984? Could it be that world will in fact happen in 2084?
