So, this fellow IMed me. I think he is a traveling...smarm? His profile pretty much says that he is looking for souvenir pooty-tang in as many states as he can get it. I wonder if he uses little push-pins and a AAA map to indicate where he has had fine steak, seafood, and snatch? Alright, that was a little vulgar. But I was going for the alliteration!

Don't forget to dig the photograph with the first-school-photo smile. That's the face of Gonorrhea! And he's coming to a town near you...
