Well, that certainly is appalling. Those kids should be in public school learning how to put condoms on bananas, how to do a proper job of fisting, and how gender is just a social construct. ---

They taught fisting in your school? All we got was Dirty Sanchez class. ---

Those kids should be in public school learning how to put condoms on bananas, how to do a proper job of fisting, and how gender is just a social construct. Before you post, do you actively think, “What can I write to assure that nobody ever takes anything I say seriously?” Oh, wait - that would require active thought. ---

Darn, then again, my painful feeling of having missed on some totally awesome non-stop action during my student years. Thank you **polecat** , I already had that feeling for my college years, now I have to have that too for my grade school years. Thank you very much, dude. ---

> [@Capitaine\_Zombie](#): > > “Jason at Lap-Dance Camp” ?!! This has the makings of the greatest movie ever. Please, write the script. I dunno. I’m afraid a more fitting title would be “Jason Finally Has Enough.” (Film ends with Jason plodding wearily through a field thick with babekill to the lake, washing off his gory hands in disgust, and going off to look for decent work in a slaughterhouse or something.)
