i dunno...it's pretty funny...i mean...anything with "ban donato" involved has got to be pretty funny....right?

plus. the descriptions for your links are fucking brilliant. i am pleased with the addition to the nuala one and am liking the erica and jolie one quite a bit. i also am a little disgusted by how i keep UP-TO-DATE on your link descriptors.

I like Commisioner McCheese.

i have to agree, that's pretty damn funny, especially for a 14 year old. my humor at 14 consisted mainly of doing the greeting from "three amigos" every time i saw my best friend, and memorizing snl skits like they were the bible.

p.s. "virtual nub-rubbing"? suck my cock, sean.

what do you have against virtual nub rubbing, missy?

'teaching molly to fetch' sean? cmon man that's low!!! I already have to deal with a large portion of the dog population ACTUALLY being named Molly without being intentionally referred to as a one thank you very much. Haha, but if you were 14.. that means I was 9 or 10...and the reference begins to make sense hahahaha.
