The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
And it is a fine arse indeed.
By the way, the most corroboratable (HUH??) statement of the day is probably on this thread at # 6. In fact, to celebrate I'll have a fag right now.
No, not the kind disgusticulous preverts like, the other kind. The kind you suck on. TO GET TOBACCO FLAVOUR! Sheesh!! What a mind you've got, if I may be permitted such laxity in expression.
Vast was hoping to get to LE in your absence...

speaking of the lavendar set, xshub is in San Fran on business today and commented that while SF is a beautiful city, it is too bad that EVERYONE is a faggot....
Anytime!
Everyone? I thought the homosectionals mostly hung out at Castro Street, but then I wouldn't know, I've never been there.
Pictures!! WFTD demands pictures!!
i don't know, i have never been either, and am not sure where he is staying, will have to look at the papers he left for me, with his whereabouts. i said not to touch anything while there bc i didn't want him bringing any germs home.
You want pictures of CG's arse?
You can hardly sling a dead cat in SF without hitting a girly-man....
Pretty sure I pinged you. should be either 2 or 4.
i am willing to bet they have great xs and knitting shops there though! the girly men do like to do a craft!
Pictures? Hell, if some of us had the money, some of us would go to Alabama to perform a personal investigation. If you'll pardon the expression.
Cooraboorate?
Ya gonna box us in with this definition, or are we free to work with our classmates to drink the beer, then fold, spindle, and mutilate the case it came in?
corrogate?
