Somehow that missed being funny and just hit 'disturbing'. I never need to read the words, "fecal," or, "buttocks," for a LONG time.
It was amusing...

What I don't get about scrunchers is this:

I have about 12 responses to that, and all of them would result in an instant perma-ban. *sigh*

Still, I agree with you.
