Can you find the made-up book on this board?
Molly/Blazes shippers welcome
Fotherington-Thomas corner
Like ILM, for grown ups
Polls are vulgar
Surprisingly open-minded about genre tat
Just regular folks who all like The Orange Box
With or without pictures and conversations

(Really, I'm another fan of 'Dusty-dusty him sad', also 'Judy Blume, etc')

― woofwoofwoof, Tuesday, 16 September 2008 21:27 (eighteen years ago)

A nun went to bed with an ilxor
whose manners were like an elixir
'just beware my young lass
of that volume of Gass
if the spine breaks, alas
I must tear up your ass'
so uttered that bibli-o-ilxor

(Don't look for my volume of poetry any time soon)

in re: dusty-dusty

I did some searching for the thread, but didn't get a hit. It described a conversation one ILBor had with his toddler about the Dostoevsky book he was reading. (Notes From Underground?)

― Aimless, Wednesday, 17 September 2008 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

i've gotta see that
