Last updated on: September 24, 2009 at 2:43 pm By Christian Piatt

My partner in crime and co-editor, Brandon Gilvin, took even me off guard when he said the word “blowjob” in the middle of our church event. The room got pretty quiet for a minute. Then, thank goodness, we really started talking, which was the whole point to begin with. Read more
