Persian Primer

Thank you sir! May I have another?

Quick quiz - what's better than Bud Lime Junior, Jäger, Amber Bock or Cloister Brau?

In the realm of the diplopolititary, hot gossip, verified intell and hot stick tongue sticky whispers are a close second - thus, hop on in the cool pool and make your brain way more bigger.


Great Satan's Peace Institute (war is just a hobby - nicht wahr?) has combined a massive combo with a killer combination on the wild wack world of Gay Free Persia's Preacher Command, impending imperial dominion and murderous terroristic chicanery penchants.

Courtney, I've always wondered: how do you get these pictures? Do they just occur? Do you get your girlfriends to pose for them? How do you explain these to your friends?
