I’m having one of those days. I need some distraction so I don’t have to think about what/who is irritating me right now… Distract me… You can juggle,or run around wearing a tutu, or just wave something shiny, I don’t care 🙂 Or if you want to flirt…like I ever say no to that. ---

Your post count is 1066… AD 1066 being the year in which William the Conqueror defeated the Saxons and invaded England, setting off a chain of events which led to the formation of modern American civilization. Perhaps this is weighing on you. Or perhaps not. ---

Is **hardygrrl** feeling down? Distract you eh, ok, I’ll give it shot. Do you think the WWF Raw and Smackdown shows are getting to be pretty funny. I mean last night with Kurt Angle wearing that kid sized cowboy hat fo nearly two houirs, that was hilarious. Think about it while I go look for my tutu.🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > _lifts up his belly so you can she his dick_… I’m pretty certain that if you’re committed to having gender reassignment surgery done, that you really want a professional to perform it. Plus, you should probably be prone during it, not standing. It’ll be just as distracting either way. > [@](#): > > thats supposed to say SEE his dick… oops… freudian slip! I usually refer to such things as freudian slits. Many times, people don’t even notice. It’s hard to top extreme surgical practices for distraction purposes, but here’s my attempt: Apparently, certain species of frogs vomit by turning their stomachs inside-out, distending them out through their mouths, and scraping out the contents with their front legs. ---

Threatened, hell. I think I’d do it just as a party trick. Hey everybody! Watch this! It’s probably a good thing people aren’t built that way. I remember quite a few kids in elementary school who enjoyed turning their eyelids partially inside-out at people, after all. Schools would pay less attention to pointing out their excellent teacher-to-student ratio, and more to pointing out their janitor-to-student ratio. ---
