B. Everyone—-but especially your hunky, younger brother?
C. Cherry poptarts with icing? (Yum!)
D. Wild, orgasmic, unbelievably great sex?
E. Or just sex with you?
Meanwhile, back in the present…

Captain America! The ultimate symbol of a patriotic, WW II era, American man—right? Not so fast, Bucky!
More and more at comic conventions, I see women creating female versions of superheroes. Personally, I think this is great (and strangely sexy), that women are claiming these characters as their own.

Clean and honest are my goals!
Right now I’m about 60 percent clean. (My neck, right bicep and left calf are immaculate!) As for honesty…I’m at least 99.9 percent truthful.
Okay. Now that you mention it…I’m probably only about 34 percent clean. (I washed behind my left armpit.) But so what? I’m still 105 percent honest—maybe more!
