We had a discussion of leather vs. rubber the other night. We were told rubber is too heavy, gives you blisters and doesn’t wear as well. Leather breathes, holds up better and is more comfortable when you end up wearing it for a long period of time. Get yer minds outta the gutter. We were talking about boots. 😉 ---

Anything whatsoever to do with trains: Coupling… Sliding the tongues together so they just touch the slowly pushing yours down the other one’s throat. Then you ram it as hard as you can… We have nipples all over the flippin’ place, all of which need tweaked at some point. Oh and a good cock is an upright cock. Anything at all. 😃 ---
