Joey dropped me off at home just before 9:00 the next morning.
Even though I'd had only a few hours sleep, I felt great. I told him I hoped he could make it through practice.
Opening the passenger door to get out, I thanked him and asked if I could keep up the History tutoring.
'Shit, yeah, dude. If I'm gonna pass History and graduate this damn school, I'll need you.'
'For sure?' Despite last night, I was still a little insecure that the quarterback of our high school football team wanted to hang around with a skinny geek runner like me.
Joey put his hand on my thigh and looked into my eyes with the same funny look he'd had after sucking me off last night.
'For sure,' Joey agreed, imitating my voice.
'Okay. Monday then? After practice? At the flag pole in front of school?
'Monday at the flag pole.'
I smiled and got out. Before I could close the door, he shouted after me.
'Oh! And T.J., stay out of those library bathrooms. You never know who could be in the stall next to you.' He pulled the door shut and sped away from the curb. I stood there looking at the back-side of his car.
'Fuck!' I shouted to the sky. Joey Collucci had been the one in the bathroom when I jerked off that time. Fuck!
I'd been studying in the library late one afternoon waiting to hook up with Joey for tutoring when my dick had gotten the best of me and I took a break in the boys bathroom down the hall. Even though I tried to do it as quietly as possible, somebody walked in and must have heard something. Whoever was there had figured out that I was spanking it and had even applauded and whistled when I was done. I was so freaked out that I ran out of there and raced home.
I missed out on the first tutoring session that afternoon with Joey as a result. He had fucking known all along! Fuck, fuck, fuck!
After Joey dropped me off, I spent the rest of the weekend walking around in a daze from my night at Joey's house.
My parents asked all sorts of questions about where I'd gone after the game Friday night. I told them the truth, that I had hooked up with a friend on the team and wound up staying the night. They were pretty mad I hadn't called but they would eventually get over it. Other than my bike that I used to ride back and forth to school, it wasn't like they could ground me or take anything away that was of any value. If they took away my bike, one of them would have to drive me to school, so I knew that would never happen.
I called Will and apologized for not helping to put away the equipment after the game. My best friend had volunteered us to help move the chains along the sidelines of the football games. Will and I moved the yardage markers that were connected by a ten-yard long chain and our new friend Andy took the first down marker.
We had to wear these ridiculous orange jumpsuits, presumably to stand out from the football players, and boy did we.
'So what happened to you T.J.?' Will asked me. 'Did you wind up getting together with Joey or something?'
I considered not telling him, but I figured what the hell. My best friend Will was a great guy and didn't have a jealous bone in his body.
'Um, yeah. We just went over to his house to...'
'To what? Get high or something?'
'No. We did not get high.' I was still searching for some reasonable excuse for me and the starting varsity quarterback to be hanging out late at night at his house. 'You know, I've been helping him with History. I helped him write a paper last week.'
Will didn't believe me.
'Yeah right! I can't frigging believe it. My best friend, smoking a joint with the QB. Way to go dude!'
'It wasn't like that, we really...'
'Hey, speaking of getting loaded,' Will interrupted. 'Andy said he scored some killer weed and wants to know if you and I want to come over to his house this weekend. Apparently his folks are going on a cruise or something.'
I was relieved for the change of subject.
'Um, yeah, sure, why not? What day?'
'Why? I mean, I know what you're doing Friday night. The three of us will be orange popsicle sticks on the sideline of the game over at Wilson High. I guess he wants to do it Saturday night.'
'Okay, sounds good. Saturday night it is,' I said.
'What if I get a date?' I asked, knowing the likelihood of this was lower than our chances of actually beating Wilson, last year's state champs.
Will laughed. 'If you get a date, bring her along. I think he's got plenty. T.J., you're like 18 frigging years old and you've been on what? All of 3 dates in your life? Get real, dude!'
'Thank you. But you never know. Lightning could strike.'
The telephone conversation with Andy did not go so smoothly.
Andy and I had only been friends for the past couple weeks since Will had asked him to join us moving the yardage chains. My introduction to him was a little weird. He came into Will's bedroom one Saturday morning while I sat there with a hard-on under the covers thinking of my best friend in the shower. Andy pegged me right away and even grabbed my dick through the blankets.
Andy was from New York, so I guess that's where he got his balls. After that initial meeting, he and I had been in my bedroom when he decided he wanted to measure my dick. For some stupid reason, I'd mentioned that when it was fully hard it measured eight and a third inches and Andy wanted proof. He got his proof. Laying on the floor of my bedroom later that same afternoon, I thought that for sure my years of virgin-hood were finally going to come to an end with my new pal Andy.
Unfortunately, he just wanted to torture me.
After we confirmed the length of my dick and I could tell he had a boner through his cords, he insisted we go for a run together. So we did, and I never got to see his dick. I knew he has size 11 feet though and he seemed to brag about that, so I held out hope that I might be able to test out the big feet rule on my new 18-year old friend from New York. But all we did that day was run. And I went home and had to jerk off fantasizing about it. Twice.
Andy picked up on the first ring.
'I was wondering when you'd get around to calling me, you whore. Tell me everything.'
'Andy, what the fuck are you talking about?'
'You know exactly what I'm talking about. What did you do with our precious varsity quarterback? Did you insist he measure your cock? Is he as big as you?'
'Did you let him try on your sweet orange
'Andy, I told you,' I tried to explain. 'I tutor Joey in History. I helped him with a term paper.'
'Uh huh. Pull this leg and it plays jingle bells. Is it true what they say that it's big and fat like a baseball bat?'
'A baseball bat!' I paused. How could he possibly?
'Ooh, caught you dude. You saw Joey's dick! You saw Joey's dick!' Andy sang.
'Bro, I'm telling you...'
'And bro, I'm telling you. I saw the way that he looked at you on the sideline at halftime.'
'What are you talking about? He had just been like totally wiped out on the field and was unconscious like ten minutes before that.'
'T.J. I'm telling you what I saw with my own eyes. Joey Collucci has a hard-on for you.'
'Andy, he's the quarterback of our frigging football team, you can't say shit like that,' I protested.
'And I'm just a New Yorker with a sixth sense about these things. Okay. Deny it all you want. You saw Joey's dick. You saw Joey's dick,' he sang again.
There was silence on the line for a moment.
'And what if I did?'
Andy whistled. 'Holy shit! I knew it!'
'Maybe I gave him a massage.'
'Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Go on, go on.'
'That's it. That's all that happened,' I insisted, hoping this would satisfy him. I knew it wouldn't.
'All right,' Andy said. 'I'm gonna let you off easy this time. But you know you owe me a story.'
'Why do I owe you a story?'
'Because you do. That's all. You know, T.J., I think I really like it out here. You boys are nothing like New Yorkers. This place is awesome.'
'I'm glad you like it. That's a good thing, you do sort of live here now.'
'So did Will tell you I've got some primo grass for the 3 of us to get high on this weekend?'
I hesitated. 'Yeah, he mentioned it.'
'Good, so you're in. My folks are going to Florida for this cruise, so we'll do an early movie then come back to my house and get really fucked up. Deal?'
'Deal. Do you have food? Will gets like totally starving whenever we smoke pot.'
'I'm sure we'll have some munchies, Mr. Eight and One Third.'
'Jesus Andy, you're not gonna tell anybody are you?'
'T.J.! Like I would tell somebody you let me measure your boner with a ruler? That you insisted I measure your boner with a ruler, I should say,' he laughed. 'What do you think? I've got a death wish?!'
'Good, just keep it to yourself.'
'Sure, buddy, sure. By the way, I have something in mind for you and Will once we're high anyway this weekend.'
'What do you have in mind?' I asked.
'You'll see. Just bring your skinny little butt and your hunky best friend over to my place on Saturday. I'll have everything all set.'
I hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
I sat down. There were too many crazy things going on in my life. First Andy. And then Joey. Then Andy again.
What the fuck?
Fortunately, the week at school was kind've back to normal. Will and I hung out at lunch like usual. All the girls, and even a few guys, would come up to Will and start up a conversation. Most of them were so idiotic but Will was as nice to everyone as he could possibly be. We were both sort of looking forward to going over to Andy's house to smoke some weed on Saturday so we kept our schedules open. Pretty hard for Will, not a challenge at all for me.
Even Joey and I had a relatively easy time being together. We really worked on History. Neither of us even mentioned my spending the night at his house after the game last Friday night. And neither of us certainly brought up the fact that he had sucked me dry before falling asleep with our bodies locked together. Toward the end of the week, I began to think it had been a flash in the pan.
At the game Friday night, as expected, we got trounced. We were no match for Wilson.
Everything Joey and our offense tried to do, they had an answer for. Every time the other team went after Joey in the pocket, I held my breath. He got sacked a few times but fortunately no major damage done. Nothing like last week when he was knocked out cold. We ended up losing 48-7.
After the game I tried to catch up with Joey to see if he needed a massage or maybe some late night study help, but he was surrounded by like a ton of cheerleaders and all his teammates. So I helped Will and Andy load up the equipment and take it back to school so we could put it away in the gym. After that, Andy gave me a lift home.
Had I just imagined everything that happened at Joey's house last Friday night? That didn't seem possible. But Joey hadn't looked at me with that funny look at any of our History sessions all week. What did that look mean anyway?
Early Saturday afternoon, before I had to be over at Andy's, I went for a run. When I got home, my mom told me that Joey Somebody called while I was out. I turned bright red.
'Mom, it's Joey Collucci. He's like the starting quarterback on our football team at school. Duh!'
She gave me a look of bewilderment. 'When did he call?' I asked.
'Well, duh! Stupid me! Maybe half an hour ago,' my mom lowered her voice to imitate me.
'Mom! What did he say?'
'Mom! She echoed, singing it out the way I did. 'Just call him back. Here's the number.' Why was everybody imitating me?
She handed me a piece of paper.
I raced upstairs to my room, three steps at a time and closed my door. Having a phone in my room was a new thing once I had turned 18. My parents couldn't afford to get me a car, so I settled for a phone. A blue phone.
'Hey Joey, it's me, T.J.'
'Hey T.J., how's it going?'
'Great. Sorry I was out. I went for a run.'
'No problem, I just thought I'd check in. I missed you after the game last night,' Joey said.
'Um. You did? I mean...yeah. What did you and the guys wind up doing?' I asked.
'Just went to a party at some cheerleader's house. It was pretty boring.'
'Oh really?' A boring party at a cheerleader's house? Hmm.
'What did you do?'
I wondered if I should tell him the truth.
'Um, not much. We had to take the yard marker stuff back to school. Then Andy drove me home.'
'Then I whacked off like four times before breakfast,' I told him. Joey laughed.
'Really? Me too.'
'Those guys at Wilson were pretty tough on you last night.'
There was a pause. 'Well, even though it was a good ass-kicking, we stuck to our game plan.'
'Except that our game plan didn't have us losing by like 40 points.'
'No, probably not. So what are you doing the rest of the weekend? Do you want to study?'
'Study?' He laughed. 'Not exactly. I was hoping we could, you know...'
'Really?' I asked, wondering where this was coming from since he'd been pretty normal with me all week while we went over History assignments.
'No, I really had a blast with you over at my house last weekend. It would be great to do it again. You know...'
'Really? I thought that maybe...'
'You thought what? That was just a one time thing? Dude, no way.'
'All right, well good.'
'I mean, I never actually came. Plus, you still have no idea why I chose number 11 for my jersey number.'
'I think I have a pretty good idea. My jaw is still sore.'
Joey laughed. 'Well, that's not it,' he said. 'When do you have some time?'
'Um, like whenever. It's not like I have a date or anything,' I said.
'I find that hard to believe. You're a catch.'
'I'm a catch? No fucking way. I'm talking to the quarterback of our varsity team. And he's telling me that his nerdy friend who's smart in History is a catch.'
'You are. You should know that.'
I blushed again. 'Well, thank you. You're not so bad yourself. For an 18-year old stud that is.'
'Great, so when are you free?'Joey asked again.
I thought about my evening getting high with Andy and Will.
'What about tonight? I'm supposed to go over to smoke some dope with my buddies. Would you like to come too?'
'No, I think I'll pass. Smoking pot just makes me horny.'
'Isn't that the idea?'
'Besides, I just thought it would be the two of us.'
'Really? I mean, okay, that sounds good. The thing is, I don't think I can cancel on my friends tonight. We've all been really looking forward to it. What about tomorrow?'
'Tomorrow's fine. Let's say 3:00. At my house.'
'3:00 it is. What do you want to work on?' I was still sure he'd want to study some History first. Or maybe some Math.
I inhaled and exhaled slowly. Did he really just say that? 'Um. Well that's good,' I stammered. 'I mean, okay, that sounds fun.'
'See you then, T.J.' I started to hang up. 'Oh, and T.J., wear your orange jumper.'
'You're kidding right?'
'Nope, wear it. I'll be in my uniform.'
My dick got hard just thinking about it.
Will, Andy, and I saw some lame action flick Saturday afternoon. My mom dropped me off at Will's and then he took his dad's car over to pick up Andy.
Back at Andy's house, there were boxes everywhere. They had only moved in a couple months ago and hadn't finished unpacking yet.
We ordered out pizza and sat outside in the backyard slamming two large pies.
After dinner, Andy went into the house to get his pot. Me and Will kicked back on the lawn and looked at the sky. Will and I had been great friends since our sophomore year. While he was easily the most popular guy in school, I was his sidekick. While everybody knew Will a little bit, I was really the only one he opened up to. He had a lot of friends, but nobody had the kind of relationship I had with him.
Still despite our closeness, I hadn't been able to be honest with Will about what was going on with me sexually. I had this total fascination with other guys. In fact, I was pretty taken with Will himself, but somehow it just wasn't something I could discuss with him. And of course, I hadn't even seen Will totally naked.
Except for a few shots of his butt as he dashed out of bed and into the shower, it was all just left to my fantasies.
I wanted to tell Will the truth about Joey.
That's what best friends are for, after all. I thought maybe it might be a little much for him to handle however. The fact that the fucking starting quarterback had sucked every drop of come out of my dick last Friday night after the game was pretty big fucking news. To me. But I just couldn't find a way to tell him. So I didn't.
Instead, I just sat there quietly. Enjoying the stars and Will's company.
Will was pretty smart and pretty aware of my emotions, so he had probably already figured out that something was going on with me, but he was also too good a friend to confront me. He let it rest, probably confident that I would tell him whatever it was whenever I did.
Andy came out with a shoebox. Size 11, I noticed. 'Well gents, I think it's time to party,' he said.
'Let's do it,' Will said, sitting up on his elbows.
Andy packed a bong he pulled outside of the box with some brown leafy weed. He filled up the bigger chamber with some cold water from the tap and then plopped himself down on the floor between me and Will.
'Boys, here's to killing off a few brain cells,' Andy said. He lit the silver cup filled with pot, exhaled loudly and placed his mouth to make a seal on the wide opening of the chamber. Will and I looked on and laughed as Andy sucked the smoke into his lungs. Andy pulled his face away and held his breath, his face turning redder as a few wisps of smoke escaped from between his lips. 'Smooth!' he declared as he coughed and exhaled again.
'Mmm, smells great,' Will said. 'My turn.'
The three of us took turns taking hits from Andy's bong. At some point, Andy got up and brought back a brown bottle of something. He poured the liquid into three paper cups and told us to drink.
'What is it?' I asked, taking a sniff.
'I don't know,' Andy answered. 'Cognac or Drambuie or some kind of liqueur.' He busted up laughing and doubled over on the floor. In a moment, both Will and I started laughing. Not knowing what we were drinking was somehow very funny.
After sipping carefully from my cup and smoking a few more loads, I was truly both stoned and drunk. Over the course of an hour, we giggled hysterically over the color of our stupid football yardage outfits, the very short skirts worn by our cheerleaders (some of whom should not be wearing them) and the 0-2 record of our football team (sad really, but funny just the same).
'I think I'm high,' Will said. His eyes were bright red and his voice came out about three octaves lower than his usual one. We laughed uproariously.
'Me too, I think I've lost some brain cells,' I whispered before falling onto the floor and banging my head on the coffee table. The boys found this incredibly funny, despite my pain.
Andy saved us from dying of laughter with a large bag of chips from the kitchen and a half-gallon of ice cream that we shared.
When we finished the ice cream, Will asked, 'What flavor was that?'
'I have no idea.' We were so far gone that we'd finished off a tub of ice cream and not paid any attention to what we were eating. And this was the funniest part of the evening.
Andy flipped on the television and Will and I suddenly became extremely interested in some wildlife show about sheep. When they started to shear the sheep, as if on cue, Andy got up and walked out of the room. When he returned, he was carrying a black case. He put it on the table and sat down.
'What's that?' I asked.
'Gents,' Andy started to explain, 'as the football yardage marker carriers of our beloved high school, we owe it to ourselves to show some team spirit.'
'Um, okay, how are we gonna do that?' I asked, intrigued.
Andy opened the case and held up an electric buzz shaver. 'We're going to shave all the hair off our balls. As a team!'
Will was so high he could say nothing but just sit there. I smiled, knowing exactly what Andy was really up to. He plugged it into the wall and extended the cord. The little black and silver shaver hummed. This made Will laugh again, and soon we all joined in.
'Who's first?' Andy asked when we calmed down.
Nobody raised their hand.
'Why are we doing this again?' I asked.
'That sounds like a volunteer to me. I guess T.J. is first!' Andy answered.
'Whoa, wait a minute. Why me?'
'Why not?
I had no answer for this. At Andy's direction, I slowly took off my shoes and then my jeans.
Standing there in my underwear, I stood up and picked up the shaver that still buzzed in Andy's hand. 'You're sure about this?'
'Absolutely! I already did it. Earlier today.'
Andy stood up from the floor and slipped quickly out of both his sweats and his boxers. Before I knew what was happening, he grabbed his own dick with one hand to get it out of the way and tugged down on his ball sack with the other.
I finally did. I felt myself grow a little at the site of Andy's nuts. They were totally shaved.
'Clean and soft like a baby's bottom.'
'Um, I'll take your word for it,' I said, glancing over at Will. He continued to lay quietly on the couch. He was watching with a big smile on his face, but had still said nothing about Andy's plans for our little team.
'Okay, then,' Andy said. 'Get to it. I want yours clean just like this.'
Facing away from Andy and Will, I caught a glimpse of Andy pulling his shorts and pants back on. Damn! I still hadn't seen Andy's dick!
Very tentatively, I pulled out my cock and balls and looked at them with caution and curiosity, the buzz shaver still vibrating in my hand. It took a few minutes, but with quite a few encouraging comments from Andy, it was done.
I turned the shaver off and handed it back to Andy and then went into the bathroom to wash off the little hairs. Inspecting myself in the bathroom mirror, I rubbed my palm across my newly soft scrotum and smiled to myself. I had to admit that I liked the feel. Taking a moment to rub both of testes again, I accidentally gave myself a semi-hard boner. The times before when I'd tried to shave myself with a razor hadn't been near as satisfying as this. Plus there was no blood. Cool!
I snapped my underwear shut, walked back outside to Andy and Will and then imitated Andy by dropping my shorts, whipping my dick to the side with one hand and then pulling my nuts down to show off their smoothness.
'Like a baby's bottom!' I announced.
'Awesome,' Andy shouted.
We both looked over at Will. He was still a total wastoid.
'Will?' I asked. 'Are you ready? It's your turn to shave.'
'Will?' Andy repeated.
Andy and I looked at each other. 'Should we help him?' Andy asked.
'I don't know. Maybe we should take him to the hospital,' I said.
'Guys, guys, I'm fine. No hospital. I just needed a moment to take all of this in,' Will finally spoke. His words came out very slowly and with perfect pronunciation.
'Will! You can talk!' I said, with sincere happiness that my best friend was not going to be a total zombie for the rest of his life.
'Yes. But I'm not shaving my balls.'
'Will!' I protested.
'Will, it's for the team,' Andy explained.
'Guys, it's not that I don't want to help out here with some team spirit. I just don't think I can do this. I'm pretty wasted, so I don't think I should be putting anything sharp near the family jewels.'
'Will, you can't possibly cut yourself,' Andy explained. 'It's an electric shaver.'
'Uh unh. Not in the shape I'm in,' Will said. 'I'll do it tomorrow after I wake up.'
'Negative Will. It has to be tonight.' Andy stared straight at Will with just a slight upturned grin on his face. 'For the team!' Andy added.
Will looked up at the ceiling, thinking it over. 'Then tonight it is,' he said.
Will looked at his crotch. 'You do it. You seem to have the experience anyway.'
I gulped. I pulled on my jeans and missed twice trying to button them up.
'You're on buddy boy. Drop 'em.' In less than two seconds, Will was naked from the waist down, his jeans and white briefs gathered around his ankles.
I stood frozen in place, not believing what I was seeing. Will's penis was enormous. It hung down long and thick on what looked like a small grapefruit-sized ball sack.
'Shit Will,' Andy said, 'you're really hung.'
'Yeah, I guess,' Will said, sheepishly. 'I don't get many complaints.'
I was still unable to move but Will didn't seem to have noticed. He kept his eyes on Andy, who approached him with the shaver already buzzing.
Will kept his arms to his sides as Andy got down on his knees to inspect his project. If I hadn't come in my underwear by now, I was going to do so, most definitely, any second.
Andy casually moved Will's huge cock to the side and cupped his scrotum with the other hand.
'Pretty fuzzy, dude. You've never done this before, have you.'
'Nope, I'm a virgin down there,' Will chuckled. Andy laughed and I would have laughed too had I been able to catch my breath.
'This might take a few extra minutes, I've never seen pubes like this?'
'How about those nuts?' I asked, stupidly, still gawking at Will's horse scrotum. 'Ever seen any like that before?'
Both Will and Andy looked over at me like I was crazy, wondering what on earth I was talking about.
'I mean, with all that hair....and all...' I said weakly.
But Andy was into his task and was shaving Will's grapefruit scrotum like a Marine's head.
I finally sat down and picked up the empty ice cream carton. I stuck the spoon in and came out with nothing, but neither of them seemed to notice.
'This really isn't so bad,' Will remarked, as Andy was finishing up.
'Just got a little more to go, right over here,' Andy said. As he worked on Will's balls, Andy gripped Will's dick with his other hand to move it higher and out of the way. He let his hand linger on the shaft. I couldn't help but notice that Andy's hand looked tiny next to Will's cock. Had he tried, it would not gone all the way around. And Will was still soft!
I think.
'Okay, hold still, this will probably tickle,'
Andy said. As he shaved away near the base of Will's dick, Andy held the shaft straight up and tried to pull it taut.
Just as I'd thought, Andy couldn't get his hand around the bottom of it. The top half of Will's penis flopped out of Andy's fist like a wilted flower. A really big, really thick wilted flower. There was a dark red circle near the end and then a knobby head that was like a little plum. As Andy continued to shave away at the base of this massive piece of meat, I watched and spooned myself another bit of air from the ice cream carton.
'All right, hold on, I think you're getting down to the bone here,' Will said.
'Bone is right,' Andy replied. 'It looks like you're starting to sport some wood, dude.'
'Well yeah,' said Will, looking down. 'I mean, you're pulling on it like it was a piece of chicken or something.' I watched carefully as
Will was indeed getting an erection.
'Okay, almost done,' Andy said. 'Hold still!'
Will's dick had unbelievably thickened and gotten longer. My mouth suddenly felt like the desert, and I licked the empty spoon.
Andy held Will's growing wiener down with his forearm while his free hand held the shaver against the last few hairs on Will's balls.
Surely Will would faint outright from the loss of blood to his brain. I looked down at my jeans. My own hard-on had popped one of the metal buttons and I could see the wetness of my come on my underwear. I lounged back on the couch, hoping nobody would notice, but caught
Andy's eye checking me out while he continued to buzz away at Will.
'If this isn't some serious male bonding, then I don't know what is,' Will said, embarrassed not that we both had seem him with a full boner.
'Yep,' I said.
'Okay, I think that's it,' Andy said. 'Will, you're dick is scary big!'
'Yep,' I said.
'Sometimes it wears me out when I whack off,' Will said, casually.
'I would think,' Andy responded, just as casually.
'Yep,' I said again.
'Pull 'em up if you want, Will,' Andy said, referring to Will's jeans.
'Not gonna happen, boys. I'm totally hard now and I won't be able to get my jeans over it.'
I almost said, 'yep' again but was able to stop myself.
'Well Will, go in the bathroom and jack off or something. I've got some lotion you'll want to rub on your ball sack anyway,'
'I think I'll just do that,' Will said, as if Andy had suggested that he wipe his nose.
Will struggled to pull his pants up, but he was right. His huge cock was not going to be tucked into them. As he stood up, it flopped down a little but still looked more like a baby's arm than a penis. Andy smiled as he noticed the ridiculous slab of man-meat dangling upward from Will-s mid-section. I sighed.
After Will was in the bathroom, I thanked Andy and excused myself. I decided that I was going to walk home. I had no idea where the rest of the night was going, but I had had about my fill. Andy grabbed my ass as I headed out the door.
'Please apologize to Will for me,' I said to Andy as I scurried away, my own erection not yet gone, but safely protected behind my fists.
Andy smiled from ear to ear with his perfect teeth.
'Have a great night, dude,' I said. 'And thanks again. That was amazing.'
'I thought you'd like it, you pervert,' Andy said. I closed the door behind me and took my first decent lungful of air in hours.

Pope in General Audience: Marriage is about more than just flowers and a dress
St. Peter's Square was packed on Wednesday morning, with more than 60,000 pilgrims welcoming Pope Francis. From the popemobile, he blessed several children along the way- and this group of girls got a chance to get up close and give three red roses to the Pope. At one point, the Pope got off the popemobile to greet this group of children, waving Chinese flags. In his catechesis the Pope talked about the beauty of Christian marriage, describing it as an act of faith and love. He also highlighted what marriage is not. POPE FRANCIS "It's not just a ceremony that takes place in the Church, with flowers, a dress and photographs. Christian marriage is a Sacrament that happens in the Church, but it also makes the Church. It starts a new family life.â? Reflecting a letter of St. Paul, the Pope reiterated that a husband has the responsibility to love his wife, just as Christ loves the Church. He had this to say to all husbands: POPE FRANCIS "All you husbands out here understand this. To love your wives just like Christ loves His Church, is no joke.â? Highlighting the power of the Sacrament, he also reiterated that when couples marry in the Church, they are called to transmit the grace of God to everyone. Last but not least, he greeted the newlywed couples out in the Square, reminding them to love one another just as Christ loves His Church. MPI/KLH CTV JM -BN Up: MPI

In his new film Fillum City directed by debutant Deven Khote, John Abraham plays himself.
"I"m playing John Abraham. And believe me, it"s not easy. I keep looking for myself in the character and find there are so many things that I want to keep for myself. I"m trying to act and dress as I do in real life. It"s tough because you"re constantly trying to 'act" like yourself."
Not that John is a private person. But he does wish people wouldn"t put out misinformation about him.
"I believe the websites have put out stories that I"m doing an international film called American Empire. I haven"t even read the script. So where"s the question of my doing it? Doing international films isn"t a burning ambition for me."
Though an enthusiastic voter John couldn"t be part of Karan Johar"s short-film featuring most of Bollywood"s youth icons to promote voting awareness.
"Would you believe I was part of that project from the start. I sat with the director Tarun Mansukhani and Karan and we discussed the idea. But on the day we were to shoot I was down with a viral fever. I"d have loved to work with Tarun. He"s a wonderful boy. Hopefully we"ll be doing the Dostana sequel shortly."

Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine and Rutgers University have recently developed a method for autism diagnosis and therapy, using a motion sensor for screening. This motion sensor screening tool was tested on 78 children and adults with autism, with varying levels of abilities. According to the data, the tool correctly diagnosed the 78 participants, accurately marking gender differences and individual progress throughout their therapies.
This screening tool is attached to the participant, measuring response movements to different images and "analyzes the importance of changes in movement and movement sensing, enabling the identification of stable capabilities in each individual." [i] Each person responds to images and media clips differently, and this motion sensor tool accurately pinpoints each person's movement.
Another interest component is the tool's ability to teach self-motivation to the participant. As previous studies show, many people with autism struggle with the motivation to learn new concepts, and this method recognizes it. 25 children from the study were given media visuals, with the option of choosing which ones they liked and would work for them. According to Dr. Elizabeth Torres, assistant professor of psychology at the School of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers University,
"Every time the children cross a certain region in space, the media they like best goes on. They start out randomly exploring their surroundings. They seek where in space that interesting spot is which causes the media to play, and then they do so more systematically. Once they see a cause-and-effect connection, they move deliberately. The action becomes an intentional behavior."
At this moment in time, the only way for a child or adult to be diagnosed with autism is from a specialists' opinion, judging by the person's behaviors and levels of development. This method could revolutionize the way people are diagnosed with autism, providing more concrete data for the diagnosis.

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 1.2.14
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed, the first one of the year, and considering we're still amidst the usual holiday void of anything but super rich assholes in the Caribbean, we've actually got a decent collection for you. For starters, there's Steven Tyler, who's mouth's transformation into a vagina is now complete, as well as not one, but two pantsless social media whores, and the rarely seen in here George Hamilton with the lovechild he apparently had with Delta Burke. Or Marlon Brando. I'm pretty sure nothing was off the table with that guy.
New year, same soul-crushing darkness,

Amazing Soul and Spirit Drawings by Lisa Hunt
About two years ago I came across an artist's website while I was searching for the symbolism of owls. Once I found what I was looking for, I didn't stop there. The artist is Lisa Hunt, and her work is truly unique. She was offering customized Soul Drawings based on key words. Mine were: ocean, sun, water goddess, butterfly, animals. I was truly pleased when I received a nicely wrapped one-of-a-kind piece in the mail (the matting is my own) with a personal note.
Anxious to have another of Lisa's brilliant works, I ordered another about a year later from her Spirit Drawings. This time I used the key words: Panther, crow, full moon, and tree. Once again, I was thrilled when I received this masterpiece. You can see both of these in a larger size on Lisa's website: http://www.lisahuntart.com/

Source: https://www.thelocal.de/20170407/boy-caught-trying-to-pedal-tractor-to-petrol-stationA boy in Ingolstadt has been intercepted on the side of the road by police whilst on his way to fill up his toy tractor at a petrol station
Police in Upper Bavaria have reported that the five-year-old escaped from his house on Thursday evening in order to take his pedal tractor to the petrol station.
A patrol in Ingolstadt stopped the young farmer's son at the edge of town at 9pm while he was pedalling his toy vehicle on the road. Upon the police enquiring as to what he was doing, the boy replied "Petrol station. Gas run out!"
After the necessary inspection of the vehicle and the child, officers escorted the boy back to his mother, who hadn't even realised that he had escaped.
The underage runaway supposedly climbed out of an open window in order to embark on his short-lived adventure.
One commentor on Facebook asked whether the boy got what he went out to get, to which the police replied: "Of course, the tractor runs as good as new!"
The boy was behaving prototypically correctly, no ?

"Incorrect opening hours"
About: Congleton War Memorial Hospital Congleton War Memorial Hospital Congleton CW12 3AR
Posted by Anonymous
We were disappointed to find the minor injuries unit shut when we attended on Saturday. The nhs site that advertises the minor injury unit with all it's opening times had it open until 8.80 pm at night as did the sign next to the doorbell on the minor injuries main entrance. I see another reviewer has already made similar comments so this is doubly disappointing.
Response from Congleton War Memorial Hospital nearly 2 years ago
We were very sorry to learn of your experiences. The opening times for Congleton War Memorial Hospital's Minor Injuries Unit are correct on the trust's own website - http://www.eastcheshire.nhs.uk/Our-Services/Minor-Injuries-Unit.htm - however the weekend opening times were out-of-date on the NHS Choices website. We will ensure these are updated as soon as possible and address the issue regarding the sign near the entrance.
Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Children are a gift of God but happy and successful children are a gift of positive parenting.
A new year is here again, with new promises, new hopes. At the risk of spoon-feeding, which I have always discouraged, I urge all the parents of the nation to choose one of these resolutions for the new year. Well if you pick all, I guarantee that you'll become the happiest parents of the world.
Resolve that I'll never hit my child: Resolve that you'll never punish your child by physically hitting him or by shouting harsh words to make him realize his mistake. Because all he will ever realize is that his parents are unjust and don't love him.
Resolve that I'll hug my child everyday: Resolve that you'll say 'I love you' to your child everyday, give him a hug or sneak a piece of paper under his pillow saying 'You mean the most to us'. Just do it and feel the magical power of expressing.
Resolve that I'll respect my child: Resolve that you'll respect your child's need for freedom to express what he feels, to wear what he wants, to make friends of his choice, to do what he wants to do in life and to simply be himself.
Resolve that I'll love my child unconditionally: Resolve that you'll love your child irrespective of his score in exams, even if loses the competition, whether he recites poems in front of guests or not, even when he is not an all rounder like your friend's son.
Resolve that I'll not preach, but become what I want my child to be: Resolve to never lie, never lose temper, act unselfish, respect elders, solve your problems by not losing balance. Inculcate all the qualities you want in your child first in yourself because children only see, they don't listen.
Becoming present to your limitations as a parent and taking a stand to improve upon them means you have already become a better parent.

GANG WAR: Eddie Hutch blasted nine times
Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch's taxi driver brother Eddie Hutch Snr was blasted nine times in Dublin city centre last night in what is believed to be a revenge attack for the violence at the Regency Hotel this weekend.
Eddie Hutch Snr was gunned down at his family home on Poplar Row, off the North Strand in Dublin 1 at around 7:45pm.
The brazen shooting took place despite the fact extra armed gardai have been deployed to the street of Dublin to prevent further bloodshed.
A four-man death squad burst into the house and murdered of Eddie Hutch Snr, according to sources.
A silver, 04-D BMW was found burnt out on Lyndsay Road in Ballybough in north Dublin.
The shooting occurred despite a heavy garda presence on the streets of Dublin on Monday.
The gang managed to avoid checkpoints located around the city.
Eddie Hutch Snr is a convicted fraudster.
One of his five sons, drug dealer Christoper 'Bouncer' Hutch, died from a heroin overdose in 2003.
While it is unclear at this stage who carried the latest the attack it is likely to be retaliation for the murder of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel in Dublin on Friday.
Yesterday the BBC reported that the Continuity IRA had claimed it was responsible for the attack at the Regency Hotel.
This has since been debunked as the republican outfit has denied the reports.
The first claim of responsibility was attributed to dissident republicans and made with a code word to the BBC in Belfast.
However, a second statement, issued to the Irish Daily Mirror hours later and again reportedly from the Continuity IRA, dissident republicans said the first claim as bogus.
"The Continuity IRA wish to make it clear that we did not have any involvement in Friday's shooting at the Regency Hotel," it said.
"We have absolutely no involvement in criminal feuds. We see the false claim that the CIRA were involved in this act as another attempt to tarnish the name of the organisation."
Des Dalton, president of Republican Sinn Fein, said he had spoken to republican sources who had confirmed the second statement and rejected the claim of responsibility.
"I have been told that it was a bogus statement and an attempt to smear the Continuity IRA," he said.

Neeraj Chopra created a new junior world record on his way to the gold medal in the men's javelin throw event at the IAAF World U20 Championships in Poland. He hurled the javelin to a distance of 86.48 metres, to beat the previous record of Latvia's Zigismunds Sirmais by nearly two metres, and become the first Indian to win a gold medal in the history of the World U20 championship.
Saina Nehwal defeated Chinese shuttler Sun Yu to win the Australian Open Super Series in Sydney. This was Saina's first title in 2016, with her last win being the India Super Series in March 2015. Saina has won the Australian Open for the second time—she had won the title in 2014 also.
Indian shuttler Sai Praneeth defeated Korea's Lee Hyun Il in the men's singles final of the 2016 Canada Open. This was his first Grand Prix title.
India defeated West Indies by an innings and 92 runs on day 4 of the first Test in Antigua to register their biggest Test win outside Asia. Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took 7/83 in West Indies' second innings, while captain Virat Kohli scored the first double century of his career. This was Anil Kumble's first match as Team India's coach.
Ravichandran Ashwin has become the first Indian to score multiple hundreds and take multiple five-wicket hauls in a Test series; he achieved this milestone during the third Test against West Indies in August 2016. The 29-year-old also became the fourth player overall to achieve the feat. Ashwin joined Kapil Dev and Bhuvneshwar Kumar as the third Indian player to take two five wicket hauls and score two centuries in a Test series. While Kapil Dev achieved it twice in his illustrious career, Bhuvneshwar Kumar achieved this in the five-Test series against England in 2014.
Sri Lanka defeated Australia by 163 runs in the third Test, winning the series 3-0 and completing their first ever whitewash of Australia. The Aussies have lost 13 and won just one Test out of the 18 they have played in Asia since 2008. Before this series, SL had won only one Test against Australia in 33 years.
Chile upset favourites Argentina with a penalty shootout victory in the Copa America final to retain their title in the world's oldest continental soccer competition. Colombia beat USA 1-0 to finish third.
Portugal defeated France 1-0 to win their first ever Euro Cup championship. Substitute Eder scored the winner for Portugal in extra time. This was the first ever Euro Cup final to end scoreless at the end of 90 minutes.
Swedish player Henrik Stenson won the British Open at Royal Troon, pipping Phil Mickelson by producing a major championship record-equalling round of 63 on the final day. Mickelson finished on 17-under after a fine final round of his own of 65. J.B. Holmes of the United States was a distant third at six-under par.
Dipa Karmakar, the first Indian woman to qualify for the gymnastics event in the Olympics, has been officially named a "World Class Gymnast", by the governing body of world gymnastics, Federation de Internationale de Gymnastique. The title is given to some of the best gymnasts in the world.
World Number one Novak Djokovic completed his career Grand Slam after defeating Andy Murray to win the 2016 French Open Men's Singles title. Novak Djokovic is the first man since 1969 to be the defending champion of all four Grand Slams—French Open, Wimbledon, Australian Open and US Open—at a single time. He is only the third man in history to achieve the feat after Don Budge in 1938 and Rod Laver in 1962 and 1969. Spain's Garbiñe Muguruza won her maiden Grand Slam title after defeating the defending champion Serena Williams in women's singles. Martina Hingis and Leander Paes each completed a career Grand Slam in mixed doubles after winning the Mixed Doubles title against Sania Mirza and Ivan Dodig. Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez beat Bob and Mike Bryan to win the men's doubles title. The French pair of Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic secured a rare triumph for the home nation by winning the women's doubles title.
World number two Andy Murray won his second Wimbledon men's singles title, defeating Canadian Milos Raonic. This was Murray's third Wimbledon final, with his first Championship victory coming in 2013 against Novak Djokovic. Serena Williams beat Germany's Angelique Kerber to win her 7th Wimbledon women's singles title—her 22nd Grand Slam, equalling Steffi Graf's record for most Grand Slam title wins in the Open Era. Serena Williams and Venus Williams won their sixth Wimbledon women's doubles title after defeating Tímea Babos of Hungary and Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan. Heather Watson and Henri Kontinen won the mixed doubles title. Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut defeated fellow countrymen Julien Benneteau and Edouard Roger-Vasselin to win the men's doubles title. It was the first all-French doubles final at Wimbledon in the Open Era.

In case you hadn't heard, it is Screen-Free Week. No computers. No televisions. No hand-held devices. (All of this comes with one caveat: your kids can use "screens" to do homework. It isn't like you have to break out the old encyclopedias or go to the public library or anything drastic like that.)
To all of you are participating this week, I say: "Go for it!" I won't invite your kids over and show them a cool new video on YouTube or ask if they want to see Orioles' games highlights. And, I'll cheer for you and your kids when you post about it on Facebook. But you won't be seeing any status updates about how we struggled to get through two rainy days over at our house during Screen-Free Week.
Why? Because we aren't doing it. Yes, we have declined to participate in Screen-Free Week. Sure, this means my kids won't get to put their names in for the drawing for a signed Ravens' football. That was their choice and the consequence of their decision. Who was I to argue? Because, to be perfectly honest, I don't really get it anyway. One week of no screens and then what? Back to normal?
Here's how it works at our house: My kids play outside just about any chance they get and mostly for hours at a time. Both come home from school and do their homework right away so they can go outside. They are both playing baseball this spring and will soon start daily swim team practices. And there is soccer in the fall and basketball in the winter. My younger son plays with Legos for hours on end, and I regularly have to tell my older son to put down his book and GO TO BED (that's the kind of argument I like to have!).
I want my kids to learn to make good choices about what they do with their time. It isn't about me choosing one week to randomly impose a rule that I don't impose other times of the year. Sure, there are times when they spend too much time watching television or playing video games (Minecraft, anyone?). As a friend of mine, a mom to three boys, says, sometimes they just need to "veg out." And other times we will have to tell them to turn off, tune out and head outside.
No doubt Screen-Free Week has value, and I applaud all of those kids and parents who were up for the challenge this week. I wish there were enough Ravens' footballs for all of you. Your odds in the drawing got slightly better because we won't be doing it. It is all a part of our strategy of "good enough parenting" and "everything in moderation." That's just how we roll.

Twitter has asked its users to do a password reset for preventing others from accessing their accounts. Twitter is suspecting a possibility of hacking of their users accounts by a third party. As part of the movement, several Twitter users have already received notifications regarding the password reset, advising them to choose a new strong password with a combination of letters, numbers and symbols.
On its blogpost Twitter officials have confirmed that the new e-mail being received by users is legitimate and they will have to click the links for changing the password. Those who have not received the notification yet can also change the password from the Settings menu directly from their Twitter account. However Twitter has warned its users to have a close look at the e-mails being received regarding password change owing to the possibility of cyber criminals taking this opportunity for sending their own notifications.
Twitter has advised its users to check the address of the sender and the URL up on which the link is pointed towards. Twitter has claimed most of the phishing sites look quite similar to twitter website and a careful look at the URL is required before entering the login information.
The micro blogging site also recommends avoiding websites that claim to get a lot of followers since those websites are known to send spam updates and results in the damage of the user accounts. If the users have any suspicion towards the link given in the notification, then in such cases, they are advised to change the password directly from the Twitter account.
For choosing a new password for the Twitter account, users can do so by clicking the link. Twitter has recommended users to have their Twitter accounts secured at the earliest by changing the password for enhanced security.

Golden Globe nominee Saoirse Ronan out and about in Dublin
The Brooklyn star was spotted on Drury Street today, just a day after she picked up a Golden Globe nomination.
The 21-year-old actress was spotted in the city centre today in leggings and a leather jacket as she wrapped up warm against the December chill in the capital.
Ronan's starring role in the adaptation of Colm Toibin's book got her the nod yesterday for the award, even if Dennis Quaid mangled her name during the announcement.
Ronan is currently third in the betting for the Best Actress gong, behind Brie Larson for Room and Cate Blanchett for Carol.
The ceremony, hosted by Ricky Gervais, will take place on January 10 in LA so it should be well worth tuning in.

This lawyer represented (use the term very loosely) me in a commercial landlord tenant dispute. When I expressed an interest in NOT signing the deal negotiated he proceeded to yell and use profanity as well as call me names. For someone who likes to point out that he has been practicing for thirty years, I would expect much more from a professional integrity standpoint. He could not objectively hear my concerns. Terrible experience.

Don't wanna burst anyone's bubble, but... $250 for this Nokia, or $300 for Nexus 4? Compare their specs and then do the math.
42. iced_heroine (Posts: 29; Member since: 09 Sep 2012)
well.. that $300 nexus is only available in the US i think,, unlike this phone.. it will hit asia and soon the world, with still that $250 price tag, or lower!!
39. ryq24 (Posts: 772; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
NFC! front facing camera! micro sd card slot! 5mp camera with flash! wp8! if the price stated is true then this phone is really worth buying.
40. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1583; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
hmm Folks Nokia is doing one hell of a job making Windows 8 smart phones to fit all budgets. I do not know if the 610 will get to the USA it should. the Nokia 620 looks better than an 810 or 822 but their specs are more powerful. this a good Windows 8 entry level smart phone in my state with tax it would cost under 270 dollars. to buy a smart phone at that price is not a bad deal for the USA if you want to give windows smart Phones a try.The question is will they make it to the states. what do you folks think?
41. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1583; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Hmm folks if the Nokia 620 does make it to the USA. It would probably cost 0 to 25 dollars with 2 year contract. this would make a nice first smart phone Christmas for a teenager the USA it sad it's not on sale in the states I predict a more powerful 620 will come to the states and be shown at the CES show in January where most of the Electronic goodies are shown.

C'mon now, I want a smallish device released in the states. Everything that catches my eye is outside the US. WTF manufacturers, there's a market for smaller devices here too y'know.
46. Jyakotu (Posts: 854; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)
This seems like a great entry level device. Also, kudos to the Windows Phone OEMs for bringing back color to their devices! It was getting SO boring with all the black, white, and steel/gray/sliver slabs out there.
47. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
love this!! might get this!!!
but whats the point of releasing the nokia lumia 510? i think that would be better since it got 4"!

48. kadakbadshaah (Posts: 1; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)

Hi guys,
I'm planning to get the new Nokia Lumia 620. Can someone tell me which Class MicroSD card would best suit for this device? Is it Class 2, Class 4 or Class 6? Kindly Suggest . . . :-)

MTECHTIPS:-Gold prices weaker in Asia as China GDP slightly better than seen
Gold prices fell in Asia on Monday after mixed economic data from China showed lower than expected industrial output, but higher than expected GDP gains. Gold for December delivery on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange fell 0.68% at $1,175.10 a troy ounce. Also on the Comex, silver futures for December delivery dropped 0.96% to $15.960 a troy ounce and copper for December delivery eased 0.17 at $2.398 a pound. Copper prices have been under heavy selling pressure in recent weeks as fears of a China-led global economic slowdown spooked traders and rattled sentiment. The Asian nation is the world's largest copper consumer, accounting for almost 40% of world consumption last year. In China, third quarter GDP rose 1.8%, a tad better than the 1.7% gain seen and at an annual pace of 6.9%, also beating the expected 6.8% rise expected. Fixed asset investment rose 10.3%, below the gain of 10.8% seen year-on-year in September and industrial output rose 5.7%, well below the expected 6.0% gain year-on-year in September, while retail sales rose 10.9%, above the 10.8% seen in the same period.

Juve take back Chiellini
By Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Juventus have purchased full ownership of Giorgio Chiellini from Fiorentina.Juventus will have Giorgio Chiellini back at Stadio Delle Alpi next season after they obtained full ownership of the talented young defender from Fiorentina.
Chiellini took full advantage of his time with Viola as he impressed over the course of the Serie A season and even earned a call-up to Marcelo Lippi's Italy squad.
The Bianconeri have now purchased the remaining 50 percent of Chiellini's registration, as they originally leased him to Fiorentina immediately after securing his signature from Livorno last summer.
The Scudetto winners have reportedly paid around é¼4.3 million to complete the deal, whilst the futures of both Enzo Maresca and Fabrizio Miccoli remain up in the air.
The duo are also both part-owned by Juventus and Fiorentina, and both parties have submitted secret bids with the highest obtaining the rights to the player.
The results of the auction will be revealed on Tuesday, although Miccoli has already stated his desire to remain with the Florentine outfit.
"I don't want to come back to Juve," said Miccoli.
"I don't think Juve asked a higher sum, anyway I expected everything but not this situation."

A Thai model is being called a racist after her angry rant against Chinese tourists went viral.
Duangjai Phichitamphon recorded her tirade as she reportedly waited in a queue at Jeju International Airport in South Korea.
In the video she claims a group of Chinese tourists had cut in front of her, stepped on her feet and even pulled her hair to get ahead.
"I am embarrassed to have to comment about the Chinese, but look at this yourself," Phichitamphon can be heard saying.
"Chinese people! Unbelievable. Everywhere they go around the world, they make everyone feel disgusted by their manners!" she said. "Did their parents teach them manners?" she exclaims.
After people accused her of racism, Phichitamphon took down the video. Other versions of it, with subtitles in Mandarin and English, are available.
Recommended: 7 Ordinary Things That Can Get Tourists Arrested
Earlier in January, Chinese state media reported that Beijing was taking new measures to combat the increasingly embarrassing behavior of Chinese tourists when abroad.
"Li Jinzao, head of China's National Tourism Administration, was reported to have said that records would be kept of problem tourists, with tourists 'ranked' on the severity of their misbehavior," the Washington Post reported. "These tourists would receive messages reminding them to behave when they landed at their destination. If they disobeyed, they would be punished."

You bought your LW300 because its reliable service and trustworthy transportation agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts? Obviously, you didn't buy your LW300 unless you wanted to buy horsepower and unique styling both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. It's not every day that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Oil Pan to repair your vehicle. Car aficionados appreciate the a known brand built into each Saturn, and know that only the best repair LW300 parts will suffice when repairs are needed.
The longevity of our engines depends on how well they are cared for and lubricated. Since the automobile was invented, engine oil has been that lubricant... today, you will find it in your Saturn LW300 oil pan. The oil pan is sometimes called a sump, as it is the lowest part of the crankcase and where all the oil collects. Since your oil pan is so vulnerable to the open road below it, it is a prime candidate for being dinged, dented, and otherwise damaged by debris. Be mindful of rust accumulating under your Saturn LW300, as oil pans have a tendency to corrode if left unattended.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the correct Saturn LW300 part for your project or repair. Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Don't let a broken Oil Pan spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by buying anything but the best replacement parts. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Saturn LW300 Oil Pan for your 2003, 2002, 2001 model.

The United States has decided to delay a long-planned missile test scheduled for next week out of California "to avoid any misperception or miscalculation," given tensions with North Korea, a senior U.S. defense official said on Saturday.
"This is the logical, prudent and responsible course of action to take," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The test of the Minuteman III intercontinental missile had been scheduled for next week out of Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
The U.S. official said the test was unconnected to "anything related to North Korea" and added that another test launch could be expected next month. The United States remained fully prepared to respond to any North Korean threat, the official added.
The unusual precaution by the United States follows recent hostile rhetoric from North Korea, including a threat to attack U.S. bases in the Pacific. It also came after reports in the South that Pyongyang, under its 30-year-old leader Kim Jong-un, had moved two medium-range missiles to a location on its east coast.
The White House said on Friday it would "not be surprised" if the North staged another missile test.
The barrage of North Korean threats has created jitters in South Korea's financial markets.
Shares slid on Friday, but analysts said much of the decline was linked to the Bank of Japan's monetary easing policies and one analyst said further major falls were unlikely.

If we created a new derby/docs location in svn, it could be
forrest-based (or not), and the result of building that source could be
copied to forrest/site. derby/docs could thus only be built when it changes.
If we wanted to store doc source under derby/code, derby/docs could
point to that source -- and thus, keep any processing clutter out of the

Fly Mutant was sent alongside Baraom to find a psychic who can find the dead spirits in a plot to revive some of the defeated Gorgom Mutants to cause havoc in the city. They find one in a boy named Yuki and they trick him into assisting them. Fly Mutant then merges with Yuki's enegies to revive them as Phantom Mutants which causes a strain on Yuki's brother Mokoto. During his fight with the spirits of Silkworm Mutant, Rhinoceros Mutant, and Longhorn Beetle Mutant, Kamen Rider BLACK discovered that Yuki is possessed by Fly Mutant. Yuki got away with the three Phantom Mutants. With help from Mokoto, Kotaro found Yuki at a railroad station as Fly Mutant uses him to have the Phantom Mutants attack. After Mokoto drives Fly Mutant out of Yuki's body causing the Phantom Mutants to disappear, both of them collapse from the psychic strain they went through. Kotaro transforms into Kamen Rider BLACK and fights Fly Mutant. Upon being hit by the acidic substance, Kamen Rider BLACK summoned Road Sector who tackled Fly Mutant and then used its spray to send the substance back onto Fly Mutant. Kamen Rider BLACK then killed Fly Mutants with the Rider Kick.

So this girl I like is really nice and I'm thinking of asking her out but her dad is really scary. I'm also friends with her brother and have hung out at her house a couple times. How can I ask her out, keep my friendship and not get her dad mad?
Most Helpful Guy
Well first of all ask your friend if it's okay to ask his sister out, you should do that before you try anything. If you get his blessing just approach her and ask her out, if her dad doesn't like you he'll probably come around eventually and if he doesn't screw him.00|00|0
