foreplay
ok so maybe i missed announcing april as anal sex appreciation month on the 15th day to be exact well now this month is national masturbation month thO i have this daily habit thing like the rest of you'se (don't lie)...nonetheless everybody in the whole house let's celebrate and play with ourselves (and each other) + Bob Vila's Home Pro Collection is at an overwhelming 80% OFF . now somewhichway it all fits in and what's with this poopoopmarmalade: someone had the audacity to send buk's photo into uglypeople.com when he's one of the most beautiful people i know i know thO that that fugly wench standing with him had to blow the arrow off the qualification meter...NO doubt about it.
