SNOball WHACK! (SPLAT - in_yer_CROTCH!) --- well, inasmuch and as many as I have asked for decoration donations for the hold, no one volunteered to let me hang their testicles around here. so, needless to say, I hadta resort to plastic, glass, SUPERKmart-like ornaments and canned snow...(chickenshititlickers) - uh, huh, ok... and so we are gathered here like a buncha flickering firefly bottoms inside the last issue of the hold for this year and so I want to thank everyone that writes and reads the hold for all of their support over the past year and years! have a wonderful and safe holiday season you ALL! and so I ask: are we friendly enough to touch each other now? ...shit.. heh o ok.. let's get on with it before I do something obscene to those snowmen down there...gimme a twig of mistletoe and clean shaven balls anyday...mmm
