Subrealm: But Not Big Enough
Question: Ladies and gentlemen, our team has what can only be described as a small problem. It's a problem that can't be solved by transferring millions of dollars of Nigerian funds to our personal bank accounts. Nor can our particular pain be eased by low-cost Ambien, hot teen sluts, inkjet cartridges, amazing foreclosure opportunities, or the removal of our unwanted hair (and we have a LOT of unwanted hair). No, our trouble is that, well, we could be a little.... bigger. Would additional size make a difference in our life? Hell yes! Do we long to see the ecstatic look on her face, when she first lays eyes upon what we have to offer? We sure do! Alas, the only weapon we're packing is eight thick, veiny hours of throbbing trivia. Please, please help us! Pick up your phone, and tell the underendowed operator.... in five words, mind you.... how we can add "up to" 6 inches overnight!
