Peter
take it easy. Was attempting to make light of his situation. I use my brain often and get brain even more often. I will take your words of wisdom to heart, however.

What the hell did this guy have a fiancee for if all he was really after was a 16 year old girl? What an idiot! Now, instead of getting oral sex from a wife, he’ll be giving it as a prison inmate!
As for being an “anteater,” use your brain. This guy’s got two Jewish names; Isaac Nathan. If anything, he was circumcised down to the bristles.

The code word was “Anteater”.

What a jerk! I bet the code word was “Where is it?” I wonder if he got married?

I knew this guy too. Went to grade school with him. Graduated the grade ahead of me. We grew up in a small town. He was immature and perverted even then. I didn’t think he’d go this far either. He never had any common sense, so I’m only mildly surprised.

i actually knew him. he was engaged, but no newspapers mentioned that. he always seemed kind of immature, but i never thought he would go this far.
