What's the point?<BR/><BR/>And the ads in the U.S. are maddening. I mean, how can I tell if the little guy is too small if I have (shhh...be vewy quiet) erectile dysfunction? Maybe I'd just confuse being too small for not growing a mighty oak? It's all so confusing.dibabearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160261542703053377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-36592534968482820392009-04-01T07:30:00.000+11:002009-04-01T07:30:00.000+11:00I will look into it when I get a chance.

That is E@L at his most repulsively elitist. <BR/><BR/>Set in Burma, the husband/rapist (Mr Dog Head) comes down with malaria after the unnamed sensitive young girl leaves the windows open and lets in all the mosquitoes, you see. Anna K was married off at a young age to some Britsh brute who lived in Burma, in reality. <BR/><BR/>At least so far. I haven't finished yet... and apparently it (the "action") all happens again, re-told from a slightly differnt perspective.

The spicy food, the cold beer, the easy on the eye candy, the ghost of Bruce hovering about.<BR/><BR/>Apropos of nothing much but for that made up Steak and B.J. day, a discussion ensued among some women about whether they would agree to such terms. I cut the discussion short by saying "don't worry! I bet that there is a restaurant in Bangkok where a man can get a cold beer, a great steak, and an equally great b.j. without ever having to leave the table." Not that I would know (I don't) but I'd heard enough of the "it depends what he got me for Valentine's Day."dibabearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160261542703053377noreply@blogger.com
