    270 Fellatio,marinara pizza,ssh login shell with use of c compiler, traceroute, ping, ftp, ssl,e-mail,usenet. ADSL, discount hardware supplies next day on the bill.*nix distributions. transport, groceries,work from home income opportunities.

And we shall be free to make love without the fetters and chains of a punishing "god" or the guilt and shame of a union made in bliss. a man and a woman, a celt an

    LOL, ok hands up, who was it??
