I’m talking about the longest thread in SDMB history ? (perverts) I’d really like to see if Guy Stuff can’t snag the honor of being the longest thread ever.

Hmmmm, well the longest one I have seen on my monitor at home is only 14 inches… but it grows to 20 inches when I am at work… Amazing the way this computer magic works! * * * “Only when he no longer knows what he is doing, does the painter do good things.” --Edgar Degas ---

Its Guy Stuff, still growing more erect at around 900 posts. Pretty girl must have went buy or a pizza. Some guy said on tv that 40% of the guys get blood to their penis when they smell pizza. Really. ---

900 posts? What the hell you talkin’? According to my ruler, it’s only 655 right now. This must be that “size exaggeration” behavior we’ve observed so much of in the male species. Just remember, it ain’t the size… * * * “That’s entertainment!” —Vlad the Impaler ---
