You are being a little sphincter right now

10:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

I literally drink a tea with Senna and it's called Smooth Move.

Kaplan the Magne

That is not a joke.

10:19 am

Shirlockc

my comment wasn't either

10:19 am

rururocks

we know that with every fiber of our soul kaplan

10:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

What was the Ph.D. for and what does it mean to you now?

10:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

Smooth Move is a real herbal tea for constipation.

10:20 am

rururocks

Kaplan the Magne

Piled High and Deep.

10:24 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't see why the er version is not a word.

10:25 am

rururocks
