Yeah! Sounds like a good one!

[AZgreentea]

Ok, Jerry
I have to say, when you said that you were a cheerleader for DDO, I had the most terrifying and hilarious image in my head of you in a high school cheerleaders outfit and Pom Poms.

But at least for the brief moment of that image you had fantastic legs... for a high school girl with a guys face.

Keep up the good work!

Memnir.....don't do it. It isn't worth it. Somebody lock this thread!

Oh please! You couldn't draw Jerry in a Cheerleader outfit if you had a chainsaw in one hand and sawed-off shotgun in the other!

I DARE you to do this!
