I don't know... I think you're missing the boat on a great 1st date porn twosome: EVE & THE FIRE HORSE followed by UNDRESSING MY MOTHER. What a knock out billing!

News Flash:
Robert Redford and his legal team are sparing no expense trying to find out if journaling on AOL gives one the same rights as professional journalists, thus preventing any law suits assiociated with this and any other tongue in cheek reviews of his favorite pet project.  The analysis and concensus at AOL headquarters as of noon today, Eastern Standard Time, has it that Mrs. L has nothing to worry about and may go about in public with little fear.  There was no immediate comment from the Redford camp. <wink>
