What does this have to do with health?

If Music Is Sex... It would be grotesque to play an instrument designed for homosexuality... I wouldn't even want to try

I use to play drums, so all I know I BOOM BOOM MOMMY MOMMY.

I Imagine when you play guitar, you have to use your penis for the momentum and literally suck your self in and out of that hole, along with the rest of the band. I couldn't imagine doing that and people who can, should be honored as talented.

Let's give him the quiz, and find out:

JBKlyde, this is YOUR QUIZ!

3. Don't answer this question until you answer question number 2.

4. Since you've been your current height, what is the tallest you've ever been?

5. Why are there pickles?

6. Can you think backwards if you stand on red rocks?

7. Is it hot in your pocket?

8. What color is the number 7?

9. Change the feeling in your left elbow into a story about peas in less than 5 sentences.

10. Carrot?

Sexual health integrated with music is important because today's music is becoming somewhat of a paradox. A Green Shift is occurring in the heavens and the underworlds don't like it.

monster · 06-29-2010, 08:09 PM

gotcha.

Dude, step away from the acid.

I don't understand why people can't take things for face value and not try to discover some hidden meaning like it's got to have a decoder ring or something...
