Clever! What about going right or left according to your political leanings?

Suggestion for a dependent poll: How many had to suit up to figure this out?

That reminds me, I was in Vegas recently just after the porno thing and got to sit next to Peter North. Didn't realize you cycle too Pete!

Just make 'em all black, and not like Lampre-Caffita's current approach. You maybe can't see anything (well, except possibly in brixtonbiker's case ), but the "built in pubic hair" look is frickin' ridiculous.
