True Things
Most recently a man was
kidnapped at gunpoint and raped by three women who collected his semen in a
cooler and stealing it before abandoning their victim. This method seems to be
part of a growing trend.
The 33-year-old man gave
the women directions when they pulled up in a black BMW. Suddenly, one of the
women armed with a gun got out and forced him into the back of the car.
The trio then drove him
over a hundred miles away and fondled him in the back of the car but he did not
become aroused, so they forced him to drink an 'unknown substance' from a
bottle to aid him.
They then raped the man
repeatedly and collected his semen in plastic bags, placing them in a cooler.
The man was then kicked
out of the car while the women made off with the stolen sperm.
The exact same method is
being used by women in Gauteng, South Africa, who are also forcing men to drink
from a bottle and stealing their semen but no arrests have been made.
Constable Mncedi Mbombo
said, "They then forced him to drink an unknown substance from a bottle.
This got him aroused quickly even though he was still scared and didn't want to
have sex.

My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
Even the shady area snow is melting. Sky is blue. It’s a nice day.
Fox dropped Lou Dobbs. It was their highest rated show. Guess that
$1billion lawsuit may have consequences. They cancelled his program, that had
been very Pro-Trump, but didn’t fire him. He still gets his paycheck. Some are
suggesting this will prevent another network from picking him up. Hmmm
As most of you know, Africa is my go-to continent. The show Into
the Wild, with Jack Hanna, has many programs on Africa. This morning there
were two. My favorite one was in Tanzania. Lots of hippos, crocs, and other
wildlife. What is the most deadly animal in Africa? It’s the hippo. It has the
strongest bite of any animal on land and is second to the Whale in the ocean.
I will be watching Super Bowl LV tomorrow…alone. I usually have a few
friends over, but this year it ain’t happening. On Monday, I have an eye appointment
and a phlebotomy so probably won’t be posting a blog. The blood draw is at the
hospital with ultra-sound, so may go very fast.
