You know, having a prostate must really be something. I’m sure some women do this sort of thing, but it seems like it’s always men ending up in the ER with cell phones up their asses.

Maybe a poll is in order.

I’m disappointed that he has apparently run away and doesn’t want to play anymore.

True. Drill out what broke off, calculate the next size up within tolerances, and make an additional letter note on the blueprints: “Tight Fit”.

Why oh why would you read “buttplugs” and think “Ah, just the place for a serious discussion of two-party politics in an electoral system; I shall wax eloquent on the plusses and minuses of current and past candidates! Oh, and I’ve got a summating zinger referencing Jimmy Carter!”?

To be empathetic, I too would have had a tough time deciding between a National Review op-ed piece, a TED Talk with PowerPoint, or The Buttplug Thread.

Works much better with [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd6R36ZZPDQ) (not my handiwork it has to be said, but “when two minds think alike” and all that 😃 ).

Haven’t you been following the news? Hillary already said she wouldn’t take Bernie with her.

But good news for your side, Trump is back on top again.

Never mind all this! Is it “buttplug” or “butt plug”? One word or two?
