Mime sex

I was checking my e-mail and came across a spam with an intriguing subject line: "Silent hookups?" It's got me picturing a really hot interlude with a mime. There are some folks who might ask, "Would you trust this man?" My answer? Implicitly. Sign in to see full entry.

An astrological explanation

I was just reading about my rising sign or ascendant, which is Leo, when I came across this description: "Your personality is on the dramatic side, steeped in pomp and ceremony, and you may look for opportunities to release a flamboyant side of your nature."
