So how does one get away with displaying and playing with their genitals openly in public ? The answer is here.

WARNING : There are no naked penis pictures on the linked page. ☹

Forgot ask the question, what can you make your penis look like.

I saw that on a marquee when I was in London last October, right near Trafalgar Square. Wish I would’ve bought a ticket.  
Then again, maybe not.

Oh, and I can make my penis look like a full-grown python. And, from what I hear, **Demo** can make his look like an inchworm.

Does anyone else have a link (I feel too woozy to look for it myself. I’m sick. So sue me.) so I can see what the OP’s about without having to try, in vain, to go through a darn registration process with the NY Post, Times or whatever?

Please? **Ayesha** , I’d really like to see what you’re talking about, but I can’t get through. Ta.

Ice Wolf, the link I posted goes straight through for me and I’m not registered with the NY Times. Is anyone else having a problem ?

Thanks, **Geobabe**!

Wow. Um, people are _paying_ to see this? Hm. Well, as Dave Barry once said, you can get a paying crowd for anything in New York, “including opera and live nude dog wrestling.” Guess he was right.

I’m only the registered owner of a penis and luckily the man attached to it allows me to dress it up from time to time. My favorite “outfits” for it are a tiny batting helmet (Batter up!) and an extrememly silly Bugs Bunny terrycloth rattle. (On that one the cloth makes a ring and it looks like Bugs is very well endowed!) I did have some curly doll hair I was going to try to fashion a tiny penis wig out of…wonder where that went too?

Well, this just arrived at my email addy, and I’m not one to ask questions about destiny, so here you go:

(if clicking doesn’t work, copy and paste it into your location menu. If that doesn’t work, add a single space after the address and that should, finally, work)

Hurry up and view it before I get sued. These penis people are just the type to resort to lawyers.

OK Anal Scurvy, I had to c&p your link but I was able to see that. Your’s does lead to a naked penis and one that I would think was in a lot of pain at that ! I don’t even have a penis execpt the one hubby lets me use and that picture made me go ouch.
