Nice to know you’re concerned about the famine there, even if your mode of transporting comestibles to them is, shall we say, a trifle unorthodox! 😃

My wife just asked me why I was giggling while reading the 'Dope.

I told her I needed to find my boots.

You’re not supposed to _ask_ outright. Jeez. That’s what the outfit is for. Just tap your foot three times and go wait in the restroom. And stop ruining it for the rest of us.

Maybe you should wear a real mexican sombrero. An urban sombrero definitely sends the wrong message.

Did you do the smirk and raise your eyebrows? If not, there’s your problem, you need to improve your communication skills.

More band names in this thread than in the 99 cent bin at Walmart:

"And now for the semifinals of the battle of the bands, put your hands together for

Nostrils of Ganesh  
Rimjob Flipflops  
Ramon Novarro Blowjob Sombrero

Bryan Ekers has been here a long, long time - I don’t think he’ll be getting his r\*m job flip flops back any time soon.

Disgusting, the lot of you. If it’s blowjobs you want, you have to hang out around a school crossing with a bag of candy in your hands. Pay no attention to the crossing guard, even when she threatens to call the cops.

Hey I know that crossing guard - she could suck start a Harley (actually, she once did suck start my pal Harley but that’s a whole nother thread)
