> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > Also, is there something that happens around age 60 that makes your crank grow four feet longer or were guys just better hung two generations ago? An ex-roommate of mine had a book about Ancient Oriental Wisdom of some sort. It claimed that a man’s penis naturally gets larger as he grows older “due to the act of shaking off the last drop of urine.” I’ve never seen a sixty year old wang, but maybe there’s something to it. I don’t recall anything about blow-drying your scrotum, but I didn’t read the whole thing… ---

Well, I don’t blow-dry my sac, but I make sure to dress after everything else is done. I prefer to not let a damp package fester in my shorts. Imagine what moisture can do in that area. An aside: I assume that anyone bashing these older women doesn’t plan to live to 60? Grow the fuck up! People age! (possible exceptions being Dick Clark and Dick Gephardt) FWIW, I’ll take Ann-Margaret (sp?) over Spears any day. Enjoy beauty as you see it. ---

Good Christ, what is that thing in the October picture for the [WearingWool.com](http://WearingWool.com) calendar? Maybe it’s a fuzzy picture or maybe it’s my eyes,but I’ve looked at it every way but upside down,and it still looks like some monstrous,stitched-together amalgamation of a monkey and a woman (a la Planet of the Apes or Cliff Yablonski Hates You) wearing shades and a hat and stealing bizarre rags from some other mutants (no doubt) clothesline. I almost said I wished it could be enlarged,but that might be fatally frightening! ---

> [@schplebordnik](#): > > It’s called “gravity.” Whereas the gals have gravity effect them by slowly pulling those perky young things down to saggy old things, us guys have the advantage of having gravity work for us. Hmm, I feel a riddle coming on: Why are gravity and age unlike a good stiff breeze? ---

So’s mine. Although I’ve got a soft spot for [Still Magnolias](http://www.stillmagnolias.org/) (which is still a source of controversy in Aiken, SC), because it features a [friend of the family](http://www.stillmagnolias.org/buythecalendar.html). ---

Gosh. Just think how much it would grow due to the act of jacking off to leukemia research. ---

Is there some health benefit to blow drying my bag that I’m completely unaware of? The first time you get a case of jungle crotch rot, you will forevermore take drying drying your genital area very seriously. > [@](#): > > Also, is there something that happens around age 60 that makes your crank grow four feet longer or were guys just better hung two generations ago Hmmm. How to explain this to this fine young man. Try this. Get a balloon. Inflate the balloon fully. Now let all the air out. Now inflate it again. Now let the air out. Repeat every day for 60 years. That balloon gets a little stretched out, doesn’t it? Doesn’t quite return to it’s original shape, does it? This same effect can also occur from overenthusiastic fellatio. Otherwise known as a… Wait for it. Blowout. ---

“Because giving money to super models and jerking off to leukemia research would be fucked up” If the practice carries over to the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon you can bet that donations are going to drop like a stone. “HEY LADY!!!” ---
