"OLeonard, in fact, had lost his virginity, so to speak, to a Duroc 500-pounder named Lacie. It shimmied and mewled, chortled and spat, jerked its rotund body each time one of the girls tried to grab its.well, its dick. This is the story of that conjecture, and it's true. But more than likely one may pause to wonder how-and more critically, why-the aforementioned pig semen found its way into the shot glass. "That stuff tastes like.uuuuck!" Then she- RRRRRRALF! -threw up again. "Fuck, Leonard! This is sick!" she sniped, more falling out of her mouth as she did so.
