Oh, I mis-read the thread title as “matt\_mcl makes **on** the paper” and was all prepared to congratulate him for being housebroken at last. I suppose this is good too, and I know we’ll all keep our fingers crossed on the potty training issue. ---

Dammit! I was just coming to start a thread about this so I’d look like a decent boyfriend for once. So now I just look like a lazy, disorganised boyfriend. However, I have already cooed muchly over the hotness of the photo, which I am hoping will help me in the ‘lazy vs. decent boyfriend’ stakes. ---

But a boyfriend is \*supposed[/] to be lazy and disorganized. It’s part of our charm. Plus, said laziness and disorganization will eventually lead to an argument, which will then lead to hot and heavy make-up sex. It’s part of the Great Circle of Life. Did you not read that chapter of the boyfriend manual? ---

Nope. My copy of the Bonktoy manual is well-worn (I even have various sections memorised) but they’re still checking on my eligibility for the Boyfriend manual. Apparently there’s still some questions arising about the validity of my claim that the “hardbodied St-Henri heartbreaker” has such a boring old fart as a boyfriend. I’m thinking I might have to get the union involved… ---

Congrats Matt. I saw it this afternoon on my way home and rushed home to show Lola.
