:gamer-gulag:

I must physically touch those who pay me often solely because they want my touch not that it’s actually useful. If I were to stop commenting on each and everyone’s necks and tummies and balls and whatever else I’d be on the streets!

    I don't get how rich people go golfing with their doctors and shit - I would be thinking "this guy knows what the inside of my asshole looks like" the entire time.

      I don't get how twinks go out on the weekend with their daddies and shit - I would be thinking "this guy knows what the inside of my asshole looks like" the entire time.

          I was hoping I could get an endoscopy and colonoscopy done at the same time

          I was told no

          When I do, I want to bring a copy home in 4k resolution and I'll put it on when I need to encourage people to go home
