As seen in [personal profile] rontgenkatze's journal:

Please to use the word of the day in a sentence.

sybarite \SIB-uh-ryt\, noun:
A person devoted to luxury and pleasure.


There will be extra credit points for those choosing to write a complete paragraph, rather than a single sentence.


In the late 1980's, Clive Barker penned a novella titled "The Hellbound Heart" which led to the "Hellraiser" series of movies. Mr. Barker's race of demons were Cenobites, rather than sybarites, and he explored themes of sadomasochism - pain as a source of pleasure, and morality under duress and fear. I managed to finish watching the first film of the series, but didn't bother with any of the rest.
