You're a hottie, Jake.
Thanks for sharing your site with us.
Pompano is right next to our gayest city, Wilton Manors; not to even have to
mention Fort Lauderdale.
I'm sure that you have a busy life.
By the way, you do have an awesome ass!  
Hugs,
Phil

All members of "Peckers PICS" are requested to join our "Obama Biden 2008" group as it runs in conjunction to this group. Both groups shall not repeat articles from one group to another. However, to gain full knowledge of Gay rights, members must belong to the Obama group as well as this group. Therefore, please accept your invitation to join.
