Hey, this is fun. I logged into FourSquare after a three month hiatus and found that someone had set up a new “venue” at my house … Hag Bag Headquarters “Welcome to whore ville all dykes get in free.” (sic … on so many levels.) Well, isn’t that nice? The Mayor of Hag Bag Headquarters […]

Holiday Help – The Not So Pleasant Part

Holiday Help – The Not So Pleasant Part

Ironically, he was able to look up tribadism from that very same computer. If they only knew! I won’t […]

Chick-Fil-A = Girl on Girl Sex?

Chick-Fil-A = Girl on Girl Sex?

I have to give credit to Leslie Fleisher for busting out this bucket of Santorum when the latest news on Chick-Fil-A hit social media. Go Facebook … I think the fan page will be up soon. It could be a thing. She specifically references to tribadism. Yes, if you don’t know what that is … you […]

Social Media and a Mixed Up Me

Social Media and a Mixed Up Me
