My online friend Paul, a surfer from Hawaii in search of an Asian woman to settle down with, is aghast at the fact that he keeps on falling for fag hags in cyberspace. He doesn't know it until somebody tells him they are. Paul tells me the first time, the girl he was seriously chatting with, turned up on this site. Last week, he excitedly tells me, there's a new girl he's fond of who comes from Southern Philippines and "is really good-looking."

Not one but several!Honestly, I am not scared. The white strands of hair appear to have gloriously settled on my crowning glory and I am not having the perverse joy of coloring them brown or orange anytime soon.Here are my thoughts on the matter:White hair is better than no hair.White hair is my badge of wisdom. They stand for the incredible experiences I've had in life which I ... Continue Reading...
