Is it homophobia or are you still living in the dark ages, Suckling Don? They can't help trolling each and every post I make, it's all they got for me..;) Actually, what we have for you and iLoogy is...contempt. Of course you do! You can't stand for anyone to prove what a lying coward you are. So now you're speaking for your personal butt plug, Suckling Don? |

I can keep the pace with the best of them and when they speed up to get in front of me and then slow down, I can usually pass them so they leave me alone. -HB (As seen on TV!) |
