Is that your other arm or you just glad to see me?
Mr. Chairman, tell me this isn’t a sign of the coming shananapocalypse. The three armed bowser flex… and I hate to be crass, but can you imagine the masterbatory life this lucky little fellow can look forward to. Gives “the stranger” new meaning. Yikes. B.E.Taipei20Times20-20photo

Sea of remembrance, peace – The Honolulu Advertiser

Unfortunately, the pictures aren’t what you would hope. The Esquire blurb had the horrible picture from one of Saddam’s palaces below… cd Dictator…
