Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Always Anti-fascist!
"I'll think about it."(And mostly, what a big jerk you are for bringing it up)
Death is Not An Option:
Eric Cantor
John Boehner
