which to me conjures the image of snorting coke off the shaft whilst fellating that same cock.

you can probably only take a snort on the first pass as after that the shaft would be wet.
Also, not entirely sure I fancy having a line chopped out on my cock, but I'd be willing to give it a try.

would be best suited to this particular task.
And maybe a line of coke off his bumcheeks afterwards?

you could only get a line on the first gobble any way or you'd have to stop to chop out the next line and that wouldn't be much of a bow job.
I think we need to see a video clip of a minor royal demonstrating how best to do this.

and a long, slow initial drawing into the mouth of the cock, and provided you can suck and wiggle your tongue and inhale strongly through the nostrils all at the same time then you could just mop up the crumbs with the mouth during the rest of the blow job and presumably everyone would be happy.

but that doesn't strike me as a bad thing...

Erasure is an English synth pop duo band consisting of keyboardist Vince Clarke and singer Andy Bell.
Erasure entered the music scene in 1985 with their debut single "Who Needs Love (Like That)" (see 1985 in music). They established themselves on the British charts and became one of the most successful artists of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
From 1986 to 1997, Erasure achieved twenty-four consecutive Top 20 hits in the UK. By 2007, 34 of their 40 singles have made the Top 40, with 17 climbing into the Top 10. Although most popular in their native UK, the duo has also achieved success in Europe, the US, Japan, and Latin America. To date, Erasure has recorded worldwide album sales of over 25 million.
From the start, Erasure's success was founded upon their songwriting skills. Vince Clarke's talent for writing melodic and catchy pop songs was evident from his years with Depeche Mode and Yazoo. As a lyricist and melodist, the singer Andy Bell added depth and character to Clarke's electronic style.
Albums such as The Circus, The Innocents, Wild!, Chorus, I Say I Say I Say, Erasure, Loveboat and Nightbird demonstrated a further diversity of sound.
As pop craftsmen, the pair's work bears comparison with that of Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Eurythmics, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), a-ha, Roxette, Tears for Fears, The Lightning Seeds, and other enduring pop songwriters originating from the 1980s.
The duo's singer, Andy Bell, is openly gay and has often reflected this through his outfits and gestures on stage, at a time when Western society as a whole was less accepting of homosexuality than it is today — making Erasure's success all the more notable.
Vince Clarke was a founding member of Depeche Mode and sole writer of their first three singles (including the breakthrough Top 10 hit "Just Can't Get Enough"). After leaving the band in 1981, Clarke forged an equally successful career with the duo Yazoo (known as Yaz in the U.S.). After two hit albums in as many years, he split with Yazoo partner Alison Moyet and briefly formed The Assembly with producer Eric Radcliffe. The project spawned a UK number four hit single, "Never Never," featuring Feargal Sharkey on vocals. Clarke then released another single with vocalist Paul Quinn, "One Day." It flopped, leading Clarke to place an advertisement in Melody Maker looking for a vocalist for a new musical project. He selected Andy Bell, who was the 41st to audition (and whose voice would often be compared to Moyet's).
Erasure's first three singles were commercial failures in the UK, although the third, "Oh L'amour", charted well in Australia and some European countries (especially in France, where it still remains Erasure's only hit to date). It was with the release of their fourth single, "Sometimes", that Erasure finally received recognition in the UK in late 1986. This song peaked at number 2 and spent many weeks in the UK Top 40, marking the beginning of a long string of hits for the duo.
"Sometimes"'s parent album, The Circus, turned platinum in the UK; its three additional hit singles - "It Doesn't Have To Be", "Victim of Love" and "The Circus" - ensuring it remained on the charts for over a year. But Erasure's real breakthrough came with their third album, The Innocents, released in 1988. Preceded by the Top 10 single "Ship of Fools", the album hit number one in the UK on its initial release, then remarkably returned to the summit a year later, eventually going triple platinum. It also turned platinum in the U.S., generating two Top 20 hits in "Chains of Love" and "A Little Respect".
The Innocents was the first of five consecutive number one albums for Erasure in the UK - an achievement unmatched by any of their contemporaries. Wild! in 1989 and Chorus in 1991 both contained four Top 20 singles and were huge sellers.
In late 1988, an EP, Crackers International, led by the song "Stop!", hit number two in the UK singles chart. This was bettered in 1992 by another EP, Abba-esque, covering four ABBA hits, which became Erasure's first number one in the UK Singles Chart. Later that year, a singles compilation, Pop! - the First 20 Hits, also hit number one and went triple platinum.
In 1994, Erasure released I Say I Say I Say, their fifth consecutive number one in the UK Albums Chart. Its first single "Always" became the band's third Top 20 hit in the United States.
Following this success, Erasure went through a difficult period of re-evaluation and re-invention. The 1995 release of the album Erasure marked a determined shift away from their signature three minute synth-pop to a more introspective and less accessible sound, with many of the album's tracks clocking in at over five minutes. Although this new direction would be critically well received, it did not translate into sales, and Erasure's days of mass commercial appeal and guaranteed number one albums appeared over.
In spite of a return to three minute pop songs, the 1997 album Cowboy did not restore the success of their 1986-1994 era. Cowboy enjoyed a short-lived success, peaking at number ten in the UK but vanished from the UK Top 40 after only two weeks.
In 2000, peaking at number 45, the album Loveboat passed unnoticed from the general public and is often regarded as the lowest point of Erasure's career.
However, Erasure's commercial fortunes reversed in 2003 with an album of cover versions, Other People's Songs. Showing a return to the pop sound that had catapulted them to stardom, the first single from the album, "Solsbury Hill", was a cover of Peter Gabriel's song and reached number ten in the UK Singles Chart. Erasure were invited to perform on Top of the Pops for the first time since they performed in March 1997.
Erasure's comeback continued in 2005 with the album Nightbird. Its first single, "Breathe", reached number four in the UK charts (their first Top 5 hit in more than a decade) and achieved the number one position on the U.S. Dance Chart, eighteen years after their first chart-topper. The next single, "Don't Say You Love Me," enabled fans to configure and buy their own remixes of the single through the band's website, with each variant of the song limited to a single download.
2006 saw the release of the album Union Street, a side-project which featured a collection of previously released album tracks that the band reinterpreted in an acoustic/country & western style. The album was named after the recording studio in Brooklyn where it was recorded.
The duo then released a more 'dance oriented' album than some of their more recent work. Titled Light at the End of the World, the album was produced by Gareth Jones and was released on 21 May 2007 in the UK, and in North America the following day. The album was preceded by its first single "I Could Fall in Love with You" in April and the second single, "Sunday Girl" in June.
The Light at the End of the World Tour kicked off in Tampa, Florida at the Tampa Performing Arts Center where they spent the week prior rehearsing for the tour, which will cover most of North America as well as the UK, Ireland, Germany and Denmark by 7 October 2007. Up to this point, Erasure has focused on playing nearly all of Light at the End of the World live, minus the album track "Darlene". The rest of the set is peppered with extensive hits of Erasure back catalogue.
Vince Clarke and Andy Bell have found a new energy in both writing and creating new music and are very keen after this tour to hit the studios to record some new material for 2008. Vince Clarke has been heard in recent radio interviews as saying that they really want to complete the concept album of nursery rhymes that they have been working on for some time. Both are also keen on doing another pop record soon.
