    jimmy dean homestyle sausages rammed up your ass with the yoda doll.

    8 steps to greasing your anus for yoda doll insertion

    1) defecate. preferably after eating senna, ex lax, prunes, cabbage and hot sauces.

    2) wipe ass with witch hazel, soothes horrific burns

    3) prime anus with anal ease.

    4) slather richly a considerable amount of vaseline or other anal lubricants into your rectum at least until the bend and also take your yoda doll or yoda soap on a rope and liberally apply it.

    5) pucker your ballon knot several times actuating the sphincter muscle in order to work it in

    6) slowly rest yourself onto your yoda figurine

    7) make sure to have a mechanism by which to fish yoda out of your rectum, the soap on the rope is especially useful because that is built in.

    8) gyrate gleefully in your computer chair while your fat sexless geek nerd loser fat shit self enjoys the prostate massage you'll be getting. Read slashdot. Masturbate to anime. Email one of the editors hoping they will honor you with a reply. Join several more dating services - this time, you dont check the (desired - speaks english) and (desired - literate). You figure you might get a chance then. Order some fucking crap from Think Geek. Get Linux to boot on a Black And Decker Appliance. Wish you could afford a new computer. Argue that IDE is better than SCSI because you cant afford SCSI. Make claims about how Linux rules. Compile a kernel on your 486SX. Claim to hate windows but use it for Everquest. Admire Ghyslain's courage in making that wonderful star wars movie. Officially convert to the Jedi religion. Talk about how cool Mega Tokyo is. Try and make sure you do your regular 50 story submissions to Slashdot, all of which get rejected because people who arent fatter than CowboyNeal can't submit. Fondle shrimpy penis while making a yoda voice and saying, feel the force, padawan, feeel the foooorce, hurgm. Yes. Yes. When 900 years you reach, a dick half as big you will not have.

    All in a days work with a yoda figurine rammed up your ass.

    Greased Up Yoda Doll is My Lover
    Written & composed by Greasedyoda Jackson

    He was more like a beauty queen from a star wars movie scene
    I said dont mind getting greased up, but what do you mean I am the one?
    Who will grease up on the floor in the round
    He said I am the one who will get greased up on the floor in the round

    He told me his name was Greased up Yoda, as he caused a scene
    Then every purple head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
    Who will grease up on the floor in the round

    People always told me be careful of what you do
    And dont go around breaking boys rectums
    And mother always told me be careful of who you grease up and shove
    And be careful of what you do [in the ass] ?cause the lie becomes the truth

    Greased p Yoda is my lover
    He's just a "girl" who claims that I am the one
    But the kid is my greased up Yoda and my son
    He says I am the one, but the kid is my greased up Yoda doll!

    For forty days and forty nights
    The law was on his side
    But who can stand when hez in demand
    His schemes and plans
    cause we greased up on the floor in the round
    So take my strong advice, just remember to always shove it up a greased ass twice
    (do shove twice)

    He told my baby, we where anally gyrating till 3:00
    Then he looked at me, he showed me a photo
    My anal lover cried, cause his anus wasnt as wide as mine

    People always told me be careful of what you do
    And dont go around shoving Greased Yoda Dolls in you ass!
    He came and stood right up my ass.
    Then the smell of sweet anal fumes
    This happened much too soon
    He called me to his room

    Greased Up Yoda Doll is my lover
    Hez just a doll who claims that I am the one
    But the greasy anal remnants is my son
    Greased Up Yoda Doll is my lover
    Hez just a guy who claims that I am the one
    But the Yoda doll is my anal toy
    He says I am the one,

  2. Major Problem? by Gothic_Walrus · · Score: 0, Troll
    From what I've heard, PS2 machines are very unreliable. I've had more than a few friends complain about their PS2s not working properly, and I've heard tales of machines that have been sent back to Sony four or five times without any resolution to the problem. Supposedly, the systems have a high return rate because they just don't work like they should. This sounds like a design issue to me.

    My suggestion: get the XBox or Cube as they seem to be much more durable than the PS2. And if all else fails...

    ...get the only current system that physically can't have a disc read error: the Game Boy Advance.

      Oh please. What a see-through biased attempt at favoritism. You probably don't even own ONE cube.
      HAHAHAHAHA!

    This was a very informative article which just proves that PS2's are lacking in decent quality control, to the point you have to go to steps such as this to fix the machine.

    Although I wouldn't recommend the Q-Tip + Rubbing Alcohol trick on the lens, a guy at my work did this once on his Gamecube lens, and from the way he told me, his gamecube stopped working after that, period. Maybe he drowned his Cube lens with it or something. :p

    Basically if you must clean the lens, don't use canned air, just find a cheapy plastic bottle with a narrow tip (IE bottles that come with hair die or what not), clean it out really good, and just use that to gently blow small amounts of air on the lens.

    I do this every so often to ensure my Gamecube lens is dust free since my place does tend to get dusty fairly easily and it shows after awhile.
