Hmmm, there was a photo getting e-mailed around showing Saddam, GW Bush, and Osama Bin Laden engaged in a three-way, but at the time I assumed it was just photoshopped. Now, though, since I Read It In the Paper, I realize it must’ve been the real thing! “We’re from the UN, sir. We’ve come to inspect your missile.” ---

I don’t believe there’s a porn film in existence where the acting is “actually quite good”. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by refusal \* > \*\*I don’t believe there’s a porn film in existence where the acting is “actually quite good”. \*\* If you are worried that Sadam may still be alive, the acting was ‘pretty good’. If you are certain that Sadam is dead, then the acting is ‘horrible, even by porn standards’. ---

I saw that headline in the grocery store checkout aisle. “Saddam Hussein Scandal! His Secret Sex Life! His Gay Porn Videos! He Doesn’t Like Hummus!”. I mean, sex and gay porn are nothing. To really get the _full_ scandal, you need to add the bit about the hummus. ---
