I bet you're dreaming of sucking my *****, that's the only reason a
faggot like you keeps following me around.
Today, 24bit/terryWimp wrote "nothing" under it's faggot buddy's
threads
54 times, and of course wants them posted to: alt.binaries.pictures.autos,
alt.binaries.automobile.pictures anyway.
You bet! And it'll take more than a faggot like you to shake my belief
in the moral majority to squash kooks like you.
Terry, or whatever's faggots name you chosen today, you fail the
prerequisite, a responsible name. Actually Terry may be your name as all
of
my life' acquaintances with that name are queer.
God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O
