I know it’s gross and crude but I’ve always just wanted to try it to see how it feels.

It feels pretty good – really liberating.

I’m always pushing the envelope like that here and, so far, other than sticking my chopsticks upright in my ricebowl, I haven’t found anything here which really grosses people out.

To me, it’s like living in a place where dad is in charge rather than mom. It’s a lot more fun and you can pretty do much anything you want just so long as you don’t poke an eye out or start the house on fire. [/url][/quote]
