    I like buttsecks more than I like Linux.

    If you want to find a gay bath house in San Francisco, there's an app for that.

    Of course, if you are carrying an iPhone, all you have to do is bend over and you will have a throbbing male cock in your rectum faster than you can say, "I have AIDS"

    Oh dear, another apple zealot that cannot handle the thought that there are other devices which other consumers prefer. When you grow up and have to live in the real world, you're going to be in a world of pain.

    $712 might seem like a lot but the price will drop fast. but if you get the phone on a contract you will end up paying a lot more than that.. contracts seem like a good deal, but only to americans
