Way out West… on the far Frontier…in Iowa. One man stands alone, against all odds. Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!!! But let’s take a look at those pictures anyway. 😉 Does this have something to do with the Census? ---

Somebody beat me to the badges line. ☹ But nobody has yet addressed how anyone is shaming dams. Also, how does one get “silver tounged”? Is that anything like being silver tinged? **Jack Batty** said: > [@](#): > > So you tell me … where’s the fucking scam? It’s a scam on taxpayers, who are paying for a badge and salary for the guys to go around showing naked pictures of grown men. I mean come on, who would pay for that? Now naked pictures of grown women, that’s what we\* want. 😃 * * * \*For certain definitions of “we”.
