Josh Slatko: ????
Placain: search down for 3e.org
Placain: it’s down at 09 Aug
Placain: apparently this is a girls-with-glasses fetish discussion board
Placain: and this guy Dave happened across my gallery and posted a bunch of pics, one of which is the 251 dinner group shot
Placain: found it in my referer log
Josh Slatko: Whoa
Placain: is this bizarre or what
Josh Slatko: That is some wacky shit
Placain: total strangers ogling my exes
Placain: it got like 700+ referer hits
Josh Slatko: I guess that’s the danger of posting pix of your exes

Placain: but i don’t think that was sufficient to support the vast breadth of depravity the net allows
Josh Slatko: True

Imagine if all telephone conversations went something like this:

Joe: Hello? Anyone out there? Anyone at all? I’m willing to talk to absolutely anyone!

Bob: Hi there Joe! I can kinda hear you… I’m in Toejam, WV, and I’ve got a model AB123 rotary telephone with Bakelite trim that I added myself, and the weather’s nice!

Joe: Oh, wow, hi Bob, one of those AB123s, eh? Those are nice old phones, I’ve got a brand new Verizon cell phone, and the weather’s pretty nice here too.

Bob: Well, great, nice talkin’ to you!

Joe: You too.

Joe: Anyone out there? Hello? Anyone?
