Q: tbone fatchance@noway.now wrote perhaps you need to understand it youself before you try to explain it to anyone else. well thanks to an anonymous e-mail from someone in this group i now fully understand. the e-mail made me aware of the fact that youre going to all this effort in an attempt to clean me up because you hope to ask me out on a date and you dont want the other girls in the group you hang out with to scoff. okay but i would never go on a date if i didnt know a womans name. the bone part is easy eough to understand but what does the t stand for trudy toni tracy tamara tricia tammy am i expected to bring you flowers on our first date im buying right that probably means that ill need lots of cash since no doubt youre one of those 300+ pound breeder sows who eats everything in sight. since ill be needing all the room in my wallet for money condoms will be *your* responsibility. make sure to get extra large. not that there is any expectation that id get you pregnant those tadpoles were barracaded decades ago but i still wouldnt want to catch any diseases. please let me know what types of food and entertainment you like i feel it only fair to let -you- decide the nights itinerary since it -was- my post that interrupted your enema. ill warn you now that you will be expected to knock the cow shit off your combat boots -before- you step into my truck dont think the car tires are rated for breeder sows and any farting by you as already evidenced by your previous posts to me will only result in the air conditioning being switched off and the windows rolled down. to have the date of you dreams with me respond in any manner you see fit. p.s. be sure to check your appointment book to avoid any conflicts with your regular customers. wouldnt want to piss any of em off .
