My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Now I see where van Gogh got his inspiration.  Who know he had access to such an advanced telescope  ???

Damn. Those lamps are memorising   :o  van gogh might never have painted anything resembling jupiter, if he'd have had one of those in his apartment! Might have calmed him down too... .. Saved him from chopping off an ear  :hide:

I heard that was to impress his girlfriend. Back in the day when self mutilation impressed women. Boy, have things changed? Try sending a girl an ear or even a couple of fingers today and see how far it gets you. Today it's got to be at least a major organ or two. And they still want the toilet seat left up.

With cellphones, we can just sext the image we want to send.  No need to cut off an ear anymore.

....  :DD All she probably said to him, is that every now and then she'd like a listening ear. And the romantic in him took it literally instead of metaphorically! Or maybe she just really liked his ear, some woman are kinky that way  ;D And the toilet seat being left in the correct position, just goes without saying.  ;D

You could start an ear sexting trend with a comment like that  ;D

Hubble scores unique close-up view of distant galaxy



http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-42692843

The Hubble telescope has bagged an unprecedented close-up view of one of the Universe's oldest known galaxies.
Astronomers were lucky when the orbiting observatory captured the image of a galaxy that existed just 500 million years after the Big Bang.
The image was stretched and amplified by the natural phenomenon of gravitational lensing, unlocking unprecedented detail.

Better leave that alone. I think Thanos lives there.

thats where Windy comes from.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
