The Kama Sutra was made up by ancient chiropractors and acupuncturists to drum up business.

Capture, yes… see, I knew there was going to be some word that didn’t translate well!

Oh yum, nom nom

They also have those delicious Turkish sausages there. I like most proper Houstonians rarely venture outside of the loop and never pass the beltway because out there is populated by savages. No offense outer loopers but I like my little sea of blue in the vast ocean of red that is Texas.

Aren’t we supposed to be pitting somebody? Ya’ll are making me hungry

Yah, I think it would be healthier to incorporate bukkake into the salad rather than Doritos.

But… if you have Doritos AND bukkake, why on earth would you need the salad?

So we got bukkake, dipped in Doritos, and then tossing everyone’s salad afterwards for health reasons. I pit you, abstinence based education.

I did have a brief moment of “eww eww eww”, but then I noticed that this thread lacked any sheep, ladles, or pan frying, and was reassured we are not lowering the tone.
