Here lie I and Thou are standing, and it would have been better if Thou had lain and I stood!

for bostobobollo;

with a thumb up my back, and a thumb down my throat,
i travel an interweb path so forlorn...
the days are so dismal, i just want to provide cheer,
so i took a bit part in beastiality porn...

for me;

you wanted me to do what???
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I don't want a grave site with a headstone. I want to wonder off into the desert and die, and my body dry up and blow away like dust.

in Tombstone, Arizona:
Here lies Lester Moore
Four slugs from a .44
No Les No More.
