front of us on foot.

b1: "i'll take that for christmas."

mom (in exasperation): "oh, b1!"

b1: "it may well be your only chance to get a grandchild."

we wait and watch her sashay past.

mom: "maybe you should stick it to her."

my other brother joe ...

... wraps packages all by himself.

deep fantasies fulfilled?

it's no secret that most guys want a threesome (those who do not are
REAL good at building models), but trying to bring that to reality is
problematic ...

how do you convince one woman to bring in another? where do you find a
bed that's big enough? how do you keep the two of them from going
shopping together and talking about your penis size afterward?

here's one possible answer to the conundrum:

quote of the moment

"of course the people don't want war. but after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. that is easy. all you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
