No USB for you!
November 17, 2010 at 2:12 am

Thank you Leo,

Thats just funny enough to get me through a day of lectures and reading.

Mark of Satan indeed, I call Poe's law I think!

Cheers

Pathetic.

How can anything that neatly and compactly stores massive amounts of internet porno be considered 'evil' is beyond me.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

For shame. The trident was a symbol of Poseidon. Although that guy needed an attitude adjustment himself.

And how the fuck does he know that Jesus had blue eyes?

It seems to be a recurring theme, I don't understand it either.
