'yes dear' = de-balled So THAT'S how a "man" can "turn into" a woman. :wink: IC, Henry is right, and its not "rocket science", is it ?! I know it is terribly Politically incorrect to say this, but for all the non-stop demands for gender/sexual equality that women in th...

It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world You are missing an obvious advantage Lola has. The truck driver can tell Lola to F herself and she can do it. But how's this... Nick_A is just speeding away Thought he was Simone Weil for a day :P Then I guess he had to crash Valium would have helped that...

And the YYYs are Yes Men. ;-) ya and of course the XXXs are Yes Women. i say yes to women, so i must be an XXX ;-). I should have thougth XXX meant a winner in tic-tac-toe. But I fully condone your yes-man-ness to women. Life has become simple, beautiful, and worry free since I leaned the ancient C...

It means "out of many, one". This is a complete non sequitur. It means nothing in and by itself. Out of many whats? One what? Or one who? What the fuck does this mean? It has no meaning, because it makes no sense. E Pluribus Unum is a latin phrase that means: "Out of many, one."...

-1-, Veggie suffers from chronic emotional impulsivity and severe emotional lability. This is why she loses her temper all the time on the forum and blurts out so many disgusting expletive-laden posts (most of them are enough to make a sailor blush!). I think she has a congenital frontal lobe disor...

The Beat of Black Wings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h54rq5ME11U I met a young soldier He said his name was Killer Kyle He was shakin' all over Like a night-frightened child This is his story It's a tough one for me to sing Hard as the squawk and the flap And the beat of the beat of black wings ...

SUBSTANCES: (1) my pet Dachshund dog; Awesome. You have a weiner dog? They rock. As you no doubt know by now, they're the sneakiest dogs on earth, but also some of the most devoted. I salute your choice. Dear IC, Thank you, IC. Yes, they are very special little dogs - so cute, with their very long ...

Ontologically speaking, it would make no difference at all: it would not mean we lacked a baby. IC is talking about SUBSTANCE ontolo...

I can pay money for the company of an attractive woman for sex. But to spend an evening with someone like Simone learning why she is as (sexy) as she is (Ooh la la !!) would be priceless. Nick, Face it... You've got it bad. You're "head - over - heels" in love with SW. :oops: But that's O...

And when you are shown that the two are separate and different, then you collapse. -1-, Veggie suffers from chronic emotional impulsivity and severe emo...
