For my part, I'm doing the physical therapy and watching for any anomalies. I should be more mobile in short order. To all of you at MOG who have lent your support since the unfortunate breakage, you have my eternal g...

Yeah I am talking about smack, junk, horse, china white, chiva, H, tar, black, fix, speed-balling, dope, brown, dog, food, negra, nod, white horse, and stuff of which Dionysus' dreams are made. The little white angel that sits on your shoulder and rocks you to sleep, returning you to the soft, pillowed encasement of the womb, warm, satiated, arms jelly, thoughts fluttering, creative synapses tr...
