    OK… reading… reading… reading… wtf…wtf!…WTF!!… WTF!!!!!!! aghhhhh!

    “Done a striptease”
    “Masturbated in a public place”
    “Shaved or waxed your pubic hair off”
    “Had a body part of yours below the neck pierced”

    lahlahlahlahlah… I can’t hear you!!! Uh… can someone hplease and me something sharp so I can poke out my mind’s eye?! lahlahlahlahlah… I can’t hear you!!!

  2. Chuck says:

    Hmm… I’m noticing a focus on a particular… area. Interesting.

    Why are you picking on me? Beth did those things too! Where’s the horror over there?

  3. beth says:

    No horror over there dear. I believe his exact words were, “you never fail to impress.”

  4. Jim says:

    I haven’t done the “200 things” yet but I might after the election.

    If I do David, just please don’t read it. I’d hate for you to have to poke out your other … mind’s … eye …

  5. Chuck says:

    Beth — Well, perhaps if Dave checked out my… area, maybe he’d say that about me too. Oh, wait, you’re married to me, you know the truth. Nevermind…

    Jim — I anxiously await your 200 things, if only to understand why it must wait until post-election. I’m imagining something dark and mysterious with CIA and political overtones. Maybe with an area, even.

  6. David says:

    Chuck… I’ll admit it, I have a nasty case of double standard going on here.

    On beth the list was kinda, you know, naughty. Sort of the way it doesn’t exactly make a guy run screaming from the room if he finds out his girlfriend or wife ‘experimented’ with another woman back in college.

    But if a guy (regardsless of his orientation) starts giving me too close a peek at his, you know, private life… I freak.

    There’s a reason guys don’t talk, look at each other or make eye contact in the john, y’know. :-)
