Good timing on the number of posts. I bet it was no accident. You probably saw the number coming up and looked for an evil thread to bump. Nicely done.

One of the premier ventriloquists of the Edgar Bergin era was SeƱor Wences. Even to other ventriloquists, he probably seemed evil.

First off, he had a dummy that was just a head in a box (Pedro). SW would ask Pedro in the closed box if everything was OK, then he'd open the box and Pedro would say, "'S awright!," then SW would shut the box.

Freaky!

Then, on top of that, he'd put lipstick on his hand around his thumb and index finger, put eyes and hair on his fist and make his fist talk.

Kinky!

When most guys resort to self love, they just use their imaginations. SW had an escort with lipstick and everything! :lol:
