Yeah. I’m trying to edit my page and I get those popups. Maybe I should pony up the dough to remove the ads. You think? ---

The closest I’ve come to using my digital camera for pornographic purposes was when I took a picture of my cat as she was sleeping on my desk. Hey, it counts since she’s always running around NEKKID! Even in front of guests! I mean, really. In the year that I’ve had my camera, I’ve taken about a thousand pictures. They’re mainly pictures of buildings, friends, and family. The raciest pictures I have are of my cat licking her tail and a statute of a naked woman on campus. ---

you want to BAN something YOU don’t like you obviously don’t have a AMERICAN flag in your front yard like i do i would suggest you read The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence and Nixon’s Checkers speech before you spout such un-American crazy talk. Then i would suggest that you thank the next veteran you see for allowing you to see naked fat people on your computer ---

Y’know how I solved this problem? I don’t look at internet porn. I’m at no risk of accidentally happening upon pictures of unattractive people in obscene poses, and, moreover, I’m at no risk of being walked in on while _I’m_ in an obscene pose. In other words: if you don’t go lookin’ for it, it ain’t there. ---

Is the National Park Service ensuring that these dangerous beasts and there feces are being properly collected and stored to avoid danger to park tourists? Or are we going to drop a load of this on Saddam? AIEEE! Poop from the evil striped beast who wears the mask of the infidel!! ---
