Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Were you trying to bring in this photo?

Didn't come in for me, either. It's the photo of the three-legged (hahahaha) woman.

The 'bot showed me that one a long time ago. There are some pretty funny photos in there. When I tried to bring the photo up, I got the red X.

Oh, so THAT'S the Semen thread. I saw the original article elsewhere, but every time classmates went on about it this thread, I got there too late, it'd been censored out of existence. Thanks, Miss Slip!
