The Best Wrong Thing

3 days ago by Vicky

Tonight I had a troubling incident in the parking lot of my hotel in Jackson, Tennessee. Many of us have experienced the panhandler who approaches you in a parking lot and tells you a very sad story and asks for your help; just a few dollars. Years ago when I had a retail store, they came on a regul ...

Yes. We Think These Types Of Things.

17 days ago by Maren and Katie

Why, WHY would someone go to all the trouble and expense of designing and ordering a Real Doll and then order it with a flaccid penis? WTF?

Can anyone explain...

23 days ago by elaryn

49 days ago by paladin1787

Don’t want you to feel gypped that the one poem’s so short. (Did I just use a term that insults a people group?) So here are two. And for commentary, here’s a bit about “Illusions”: This poem is about pornography. I’m not saying I love it and I’m not saying it’s among the worst things on the planet. ...

This morning I gave to a panhandler

67 days ago by megcox

I rarely give money to panhandlers. I don’t really have a good reason why. I smile and nod and look the person in the eye while I decline, but I don’t open my purse.
