I confess I'm sorry I missed that. Iconfess that I'm sorry I didn't have someone take a pic of me and ring.

I confess that I half-expect that I expect brr to show up with a "4 LLamas of the Apocolypse" sock.
Fishy!
Did you hear that Hostess has created a new food substance that provides nourishment to both South American beasts of burden and Buddhist monks?

I confess that, after the day I've already had today, i'm dipping into the money from my NYE gig that's going toward my BM ticket and buying peppermint schnapps, hot cocoa, and whipped cream on the way home from work.

(I'd have Peppermint Annies, but I can't afford the grand marnier and dark cacao)

PVC pants, semi-see through shirt thingy, harness-y thing made of very similar PVC, arm band (leather and metal).

i tried to get him to wear it all to dinner with sensei, but he didn't have boots (we looked at a half dozen places) and bitched that he didn't have the belt or the top hat on hand. but the whole get up looks great. and the Wop is a shopping machine.

I did--add in Cecil Adams and you'll be taken right to it. Or you can look it up on the "What is a Burner" thread--I think it's in the Experience forum.

Haven't though of Merkins in a while. . .

Is there anything as warping to a young soul as the Catholic Church?

and people get all freaked out about the effect the event could have on children. . .

It ruined me for life. The guilt still crops up! I repudiated Catholicism over forty years ago... shit.

... plus, the priests never molested me... I mean, what did Timmy McGrath have that I didn't have.. I feel sooooo rejected....

I confess..I really do believe in the role models of good as portrayed by the movie heros of years gone by...Errol Flynn in Robin Hood and Victor Mature in Demetrius in the Gladiators
If you check these films out, you'll see what I mean...we'd have a better country if guys like this were real!

Well yeah.
