paul: didn't see your msg sneak in there... too quick for me, you were... and nope... don't remember 'em damnit... although I was sure I went to bed still in my jeans and I woke up in tracksuit pants... that's gotta be a good sign, doesn't it?

that's a very phallic looking bubble
I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

If that looks phallic, I think you've had some bad experiences!!

Fancy one of those, too? "vices are like genitals - most are ugly to behold, and yet we find that our own are dear to us."
