Why do subpar women think that they are nines and tens?
In order to answer this I came up with a little story that goes like this …

I've also been making ends meet ... By appearing in Tijuana splatter comics as Evil Gringo #2.
Shameless vixen! Trollop!

At least until the peyote kicks in ...
And then working as Betty and Veronica's body doubles ...
Just you, me, in a vat of lime jello, pulling hair, calling each other names …
¡Explotando Dick por todos lados!
Remember, kids, masturbation will make you see the devil everywhere!
Only zombies dig to rock and roll, daddy-O!
What do people aim for when they meditate, and how do they do it properly?
Before there was MAGA there was … the Comics Code Authority
After you lather me up with that strawberry hand lotion.
Torchy thinks: Maybe I could play a gangster's moll since apparently smoking is still seen as wholesome and American.
