 PERUVIAN TALIBAN
I'm in Nowheresville, Peru. It's somewhere in the mountains. My motorcycle died, so I'm just figuring out how to go from here. It overheated about two miles from the nameless town where I am now. While pushing the bike, I passed by the friendly neighborhood Taliban clubhouse. I couldn't fucking beli...

 GIRL JOHNS
Dykes Like WhoresGuess what. Soliciting prostitutes is not a male-only enterprise any longer. Yes, I see that look on your face that says, "Nigga, 'scuse me?" But I'm 100 percent cereal here.
