Sigh...  I have a group there, called Animated Adulthood, for grown-ups who like cartoons.  I finally had to turn moderation on, because no one on that website seems to understand the concept of posting on topic.  Seriously - your awful erotic poetry and your ultrasounds (while understandably exciting) don't have anything to do with animation ( Read more... )
