The adult baby says:

I got a whiff of that shitty story a week or two ago -- when I got to the baby diaper bit, I bailed out and went back to practicing.

His mother is just as wacko as he is.

Actually, it is his roommate that acts like a mother for him.

Be very careful when looking for your new apartment. Check for unusually sized furniture before you sign anything. :-)

No doubt I missed that little detail as I was hightailing it out of the room before I heard any more.

Thanks.  :cheersmate:

You know that while he's getting the SS and other government freebies, she's getting $1,800 a month as his primary care giver. ...and that's also part of why queers want to get married.

Where's the pic of the wrist-slashing advice? :???: :argh:

I didn't click on the link, because I saw this on tv the other day.

"Gross" is a woefully inadequate word to describe this guy. "Disgusting"? nope, not even close.

The fact that this creature receives any money provided by the government, only encourages him to continue his somewhat perverted lifestyle.

I know that there are people out there who really do need government support because they are ill, but this is not one of them.

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

I almost feel bad for his "mommy".  Her boobies hang down to her thighs.  I would get those things cut into normal size with a couple of my checks if I had that issue.  That can not be comfortable or healthy!

Maybe he prefers them that way. Perhaps that bottle is not all he drinks from.
