First of all, this was shot with a wide angle lens, which distorts the proportions of the image. On top of that, it looks like the chick's right thigh and butt cheek were (poorly) photoshopped to make it even larger. Compare the width of both legs.

thanks for killing it.

I went to the eye doctor today for my follow up for getting the contacts last week. SHe tried out two new brands on me, one in the left and one in the right. And I had some crazy allergic reaction to something. Not the solution because its the same I've got here at the house. Perhaps the soap I washed my hands with? But my eyes got all red and watery and burned like hell. Now I can't wear anything for a couple days and have to put drops in. Looks fine now though.
One time I washed my hands before I took them out and I guess I didn't get all of the soap off my fingers, took out my contacts and a little soap got on them. Didn't notice, put them into the lens case. Next day put them in, I guess soap and the solution are a really bad combo. Had to flush out my eye for like a half hour.

i hear soap doesn't mix well with your eye either.

since the topic of contacts has been brought up.. i was pondering the lasik.. has anyone got it?  i'm going to call for a consultation in a couple of days.. what do they look for to tell if your a candidate?  and any suggestions on doctors in the PA or Jersey area.  my friend was telling me about one in jersey that guarantees 20/20 or your money back.

I was going to do it, but by the time it was finished i was looking at over 6k for wavelength lasik 2 years ago.  I really want to do it, but i'm not going to the cheapest place i can find, dont want them farging anything up.

Just keepin' it real. The does have a relatively large hindquarters, though...but the exaggeration is a little silly. Still, she is attractive. Here's a video.

i picked up a wireless keyboard/mouse combo a few days ago on clearance for 15 bucks.  was actually expecting it to fall apart taking it out of the box or for there to be a problem with the installation or something but there wasn't.  damn thing works awesome and has a range of about 10-15 feet. 

so now i can plug my laptop into my tv via the s video cable, kick back in my recliner and view all the free porn i want on a stunning 42" screen.  or post here.

Either way, you're probably typing with one hand.

that's a given. 

hell, if i open up 2 browser windows and then scale them down a bit and put them side by side, i can watch porn in one window and have cf up on the other. 

i hope that doesn't make anyone uncomfortable.

My wife had it done, she had a good experience.  I've heard some people have had real problems though.  Like sight-altering, unfixable problems.  Not sure if that's from using bad shops or what.  I've never been interested.

Some of the most reputable places here have it for about $1500-$2000 per eye. I'm talking like Kremer or places like that. The docs there have like 1000s of procedures under their belts.

I had it done quite a few years ago (by a well known, reputable eye guy, not somebody who was looking to rush through a bunch of patients to help make his mortgage payment), and I haven't had any real problems.

It's not a perfect solution, but it's still way better than carrying glasses around, or poking foreign objects into your eyes on a daily basis.
