    My dick is hard for a certain woman at my workplace. I can never have her 'cause she's married, though.

    Oh, the sweet pain of unrequited love!

      Huh?

      You really don't believe the fairytale that being married means that a you sleep only with a one guy/girl after that?

      How old are you? 16? Most married couples cheat on each other. Just be nice to her, let her get to know you better, take her to a nice "business" dinner and you might get lucky.

      Statistically most couples don't cheat on each other.

      It's one of those difficult statistics to validate though.

    I currently have 37,564 pornographic images (pr0n) residing on my hard drive, for a grand total of 4,689,432,576 bytes! This should keep me busy for a few hours!

    UPDATE 02:53: Oh no! I now only have 37,532 porn files (4,682,407,936 bytes)! I decided to delete some old crappy ones. Looks like its time to peruse alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.* some more! Woohoo!!

    Stay tuned for daily updates! (Unless Im too busy taking advantage of all these images! Wooha!!)
