The salesman knows a tiny bit about the distant war the soldier has likely fought in - just what he happened to pick up from the news - and he thinks he read somewhere that approximately 15-20 % of the troops involved in that conflict have been ( Read more... ) -

About Biting: It's important to get consent, yo
Time for slash!
Remember the good old days when there was a vampire series called Moonlight? And remember when Mick had to give Josef a dressing-down about the issue of consent?
