When I informed him that they were...
...know every time to call Janet a slut and Brad an asshole. The seniors get a huge kick out of some of the comments. Better than Crimson Key’s Love Story? No contest, but the painted-on special effects leave something to be desired. “Gee, how could we see The Matrix after this?” asks Ahn sarcastically. Overall, though, they’re enthusiastic and willing Rocky participants, pelvic thrusting with the best of them during the Time Warp...
