A completely benign image! I don't get semen or violence.... As SM dries, it starts to take on a smell that reminds me of iron-pressed linen, mingled with the smell of a small child's morning-abandoned bowl of LUCKYrasputin1963https://www.blogger.com/profile/08842484654384491735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-5399727396644565502010-11-03T21:25:01.584+00:002010-11-03T21:25:01.584+00:00Great discussion, isn't it, Tarleisio, it seem...Great discussion, isn't it, Tarleisio, it seems to have sparked all kinds of interesting comments!<br /><br />I think you hit the nail on the head, actually!!
