Yeah great name, but also a great pilot. USAAF's #1 ace with 40 kills and earned the Medal of Honor.

Yeah, keeping up is starting to be a problem.

That reminds me of a story I haven't told in years. When I was stationed in Monterey, I had a blind friend from college who lived in SF, so I'd go up to visit him a lot.

If sex is indeed inherent in that photo, then who is taking the picture? Is something kinky going on here? Voyeurism? Menage a trois? Gang rape? POOR BECKY!!!!!

And I hope no one recognizes the poor sap, or is that the famous ex husband?

I would also interpret that to mean that she's a shit lay.

Eeew, don't put that image in my head on Christmas day, the Osama Greg Laden pictures are enough to turn my stomach as it is.

I didn't realize that Bulwer-Lytton is considered by many as the worst writer of prose in the history of the English language. I learn something new, not just everyday, but several times a day. I have a collection of his works on the shelf, I might have to take a peek.

"It was a dark and stormy night. Dark, because I had my head up my ass as usual, stormy, because I had chilly for lunch". ---excerpt from Laden's book.

That black guy is not that scary, looks like a decent fellow to me. They really need a Willie Horton type to burn those carbs. Of course, with today's feminist any male will do, he doesn't have to be a minority since all males are rapists.

It's alluded to in the show that Penny has had drunk sex numerous time, once with Raj. But she does occasionally mention having drunk sex.

@franc Ms. Myers' (what an unfortunate name for her) art looks really nice. I don't think a 3rd grader could produce that like other people's "artwork". Too bad she got bullied by the nasties, happens more often than we know probably. I particularly like the owl necklace, some others here may too.

Whoops! Frank Boyd just got banned for making PZ look like an asshat. Who saw that coming?

Being banned from there is a good thing, so I'm doing him a favor. I didn't give any quotes because he has posted several comments, all of which are good.
