I decided today was the day to clean out all old textbooks and notebooks that were filed away neatly in my room. Afterall, what purpose does my “Advanced US History” notebook from high school serve in my future?
In my mass cleaning, I came across my notebook from History of English Literature from my sophomore year of college. The teacher was this lanky, slithery old man that was about to retire. Something about him made me uncomfortable, perhaps his penchant for focusing on the sexuality of everything we read, or perhaps the way that he wriggled his body while murmuring and moaning the words from each piece. Despite this, he also popped out these verbal gems from time to time, which I carefully recorded on the back cover of my notebook. I’m going to throw out the notebook, but I need to keep these. For posterity, etc.

It’s not that Adam wasn’t into threesomes, he just wasn’t into THOSE kinds of threesomes.
(Oh, blogger won’t let me reply to my own post, and you don’t have e-mail listed on your site, but I wanted to say that your liking LG might allow me to forgive you for the Family Guy stuff. But, the basketball court claim… pshaw.)

I wish I could describe this man better, it all would have made much more sense. And as for your explanation, who isn’t into a Satanical threesome?
And the basketball claim sticks. Any day, Canadian…

But, I’m nine feet tall* and play dirty.
(*Or 6′4″. But the dirty part stands.)

That’s fine, I’m 5′6 and rather tiny, but your definition of “playing dirty” will completely evolve after playing me.
And I don’t have to lie about my height in a sad attempt at inducing fear…

Trash talk, eh?
I love it.
I’m intrigued, confident, a bit leery, plus kinda peckish.
I grew up playing “no blood, no foul” with my friends.
(Which might explain me fouling out of sooo many organized games…)
