I would think that is a risky proposal, especially if there is a notably phallic 6 foot tall Dunleavy VI in the same room. Talk about performance anxiety.

See. It's not just me. Friendly people are (were) a bit scary. Of course, growing up in the north I learned that if someone starts getting friendly to strangers they are usually some sort of freak or escapee.

Don't go outside unless you absolutely have to. Plus, if you are not outside terribly long, the heat feels kinda good because everything is air-conditioned to meat locker temperatures.

I used to do this too, but now I just run down to the store and buy my utils there directly. It's more efficient that way.

I suspect that, when your ratio of masturbatory experiences to actual sex experiences gets too out of whack, you grow morose.
Either that, or your response macro failed.

A lot of people forget that Houston is where the gulf coast of the southeast meets the prairies of the northwest meets the piney woods of the northeast meets the wetlands of the southwest. It's flat, but it's generally green, and there are lots of trees.

Fair enough.
For the record, it was not scary as in sharks but rather scary as in Don King's hair.

Fringey, that's it, I'm moving. Our love child is going to be reared in Texas. None of this uptight limited east coast crap for our darling.

I get it. Masturbation. Out of "whack". Nice touch, Bilmore.
(You had no idea you did that, did you?)
