Huh? Did just let them both hang down? Do you have a special keyboard?

You wrote "kmsld" KM is understandable because you were probably going for M. S is ok because you were probably going for A. But LD, L is quite far from T and it is not close to S either. I suspect you faked it :eek:

Looks like I must have pointy elbows too! I didn't think I'd be able to do that.

I was going to try boobs too, but MIH must be better endowed than I am. I can't manage to reach the keyboard without bonking my head on the screen. :smile:
