rehmwa 2 #51 April 17, 2006 QuoteThe funniest BL I saw in a tunnel was when my favorite tail was trying to tell the rest of the team that they are all wrong (and he was right). It was the L for us too. We do the A adder with the OC presenting legs. We mixed it with 16 and another random. Every other L we hit, I'd (as point on the B) slide to present the sidebody and our point would turn directly at me and just stop and look at us and laugh. Every time, and THEN kick his legs to me. (To his credit - It was the end of the camp and he was really beat, we practiced hard. Also, those were the sweetest touch keys around since the other were on grips already.) ...

So next time I'm contacting you and some others here and doing it that way. Everybody on the same mission, no juggling weird expectations, simpler and cheaper for everyone. ...
