Since I’ve actually performed in a Marching Band I’ve known a few and they’re mostly talentless pricks. “Oh, let’s give him a job he can’t screw up. He can’t March and he can’t Play and he can’t twirl a Flag or a Baton or throw a Rifle so let’s just put him out in front …

Puppy Bowl XIV

Hard to believe I have 14 of these things junking up my DVR when I should let them wash over and through me like the adorable animals they are.

“She wanted me to be her first, so that she would be good for her boyfriend.”

Umm… look. I’ve had what I would characterize as a fair amount of sexual experience, not Wilt Chamberlain levels (20 Thousand over 40 years for an average of 1 new woman every 17.64 hours. If you view that from the Mark Twain perspective you may find the holder willing but the candle weak so you’ll …
