My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

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

you can be the cabin boy.
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.

Staggerwing

Supposedly she was sunk in the Caribbean or Canal zone by friendly fire (US on Free French) for being mistaken for a U-boat while her radios were out of service. There was an enemy sub reported sunk in that area on a day when KreigsMarine records show no U-boats anywhere near there at that time failed to return to port.

This site is part of Vandenberg AFB territory now. I've been to the point overlooking the wrecks. You really can't see anything from the shore besides the rocks and heavy surf (and it does get really foggy) but helicopter pilots say you can still see the outlines of the destroyers under the waves.

It looks as if the bow should have a roll-back door for unleashing hoards of wet-suited Bond-villains in high-speed Zodiaks.
