Curves for Men

I don't have ample time this morning to go into this morning's beatdown, because I have to get on the road shortly.

Mother Trucker

It's been a while since I last had the Q so when Cowtipper sent me a text about it I replied right away and jumped on it.   Stepping up and leading people doesn't intimidate me at all, I've been doing that in various settings for years.   What does intimidate me is the idea of letting [...]

Respect thou Elders
