No, no. Sweetcheeks is the name of your _burro._ For, sadly, obvious reasons. ---

If being labelled a homophobe is the price I have to pay for keeping your nauseating anatomy away from my rectum, it’s a price I pay gladly. Btw, the last few posts have been a revelation.

“Knowing more than expected” does not equate to “being an expert”, given that my expectations of you are coloured by the fact that you have to be watered twice daily and turned to face the sunlight. And although I pride myself on my equanimity, it’s a tad galling to have my sex life criticised by someone who last scored with a woman when he was still a sperm. ---

I’ve no idea what “Celebant” means, but I’m sure you, for one, experience _no_ difficulty in having your preferences met. ::barf:: ---

Man you guys are such losers, sitting in here arguing. Outside the sun is shining, the grass is green - not that you’d know since you never drag your face away from the monitor we’re you’re having sex with a big fat plumber who claims to be that 17 YO girl you’ve been lusting after. Perverts. ---
