The Post review didn't mention tapered turds, though, which made it vastly inferior to yours. I'm not sure which one of these groups I fit into (morons who trust your opinion? God forbid), or if I even do, but once I figure it out I may check it out.tfhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735303292996192352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667707830726423590.post-63676672592492136122008-09-18T13:35:00.000-04:002008-09-18T13:35:00.000-04:00I never got past your opening question as, obvious...I never got past your opening question as, obviously, if you are experiencing tapering this is a sign that you are a Clencher suffering from latent feelings of abandonment and unable to let go of the rotten things in your life.
