It is probably modeled after Julie Ashton's (you can look up the reference yourself).

Talk about NSFW... And so close to lunchtime too (here in the Mountain time zone anyway). But I love the idea of bringing them to a meeting.

I guess they had to be chocolate. Fruit flavored hard candy assholes wouldn't be apropos...

It would have been funnier if the models faces had chocolate smeared all around their mouths.

This was a comment on Annie Leibovitz's portrait of Queen Elizabeth.

"I think on these occasions tradition is good. You do not want to see Her Majesty breakdancing or bathing in a vat of asses' milk," Feaver told BBC radio.

What is asses' milk?

WTFE, there's still something wrong with this.

Asses' milk is characterized by a decidedly sweet taste, and also by the fact that it is more easily digested than any other kind of milk. Its use is therefore indicated in the case of very weak persons, and feeble children can be best brought up with it when the maternal milk fails. The fact that it so closely resembles mother's milk makes it very useful for suckling children.

It is quite a remarkable fact that among all animals the ass is the one whose milk most closely resembles human milk. Already in ancient times quite a number of healing properties were ascribed to asses' milk, and Nero's consort, Popp e, when on a journey, always took along 500 asses, in order to be able to bathe in their milk.

Asses milk is, in fact, worthy of much greater attention than it receives, and should be more frequently employed. Its rather sweet taste is not agreeable to every one, and its high price is against its general use. This could be remedied, how-ever, by raising the animals in great numbers. Another disadvantage is the fact that this milk does not keep well and must be taken soon after it is milked. It is owing to this peculiarity that, in regions where the animals are raised for their milk supply, they are taken to the door of the consumer and are there milked. In Barcelona one sees the asses going about with covers bearing on the one side the inscription "Approved by the" and on the other side "College of Physicians."

Asses' milk contains fewer bacteria than other kinds of milk. It is also a noteworthy fact that asses are not subject to tuberculosis. Because of its great similarity with woman's milk and its digestibility it is much used, especially in France, for the bringing up of delicate children. I am acquainted with several young people in that country who were fed with asses' milk, and who grew up in good health. In comparison with the widespread use of this milk in France, Catalonia, and southern Italy, its very limited use with us is striking. Its very high price is probably the chief reason, and this is possibly greatly owing to the fact that the ass is very capricious and obstinate and often objects to being milked. This animal, which is so greatly censured on account of its lack of intelligence, is, after all, not so stupid as it is said to be. The ass-mother is in fact not such a "donkey" as to be willing to give her milk, which is none too abundant, for the benefit of strange children, when she needs it so badly for her own young.
