Booming School
I always wondered why boom was always on hand yet never seemed to work. I wonder if there is a dispersant school out there. A few weeks old and NSFW but I’m posting it anyway…
A Stream of Conciousness Post About My Ignorance, Geology, Alien Education, Getting Laid, Getting Fucked (Not The Same Thing) and T.E.O.T.W.A.W.K.I
