Hehe....we need to get the mods to give NightRaven a custom title like "Pugilist Specialist". :p

I vote for the mods giving him his own avatar: a brick. :p

I'm down with it... :p

Nice to see you've finally got a sense of humor about forever being immortalized on ATOT as "Guy who throws bricks at people's trucks". :p

I'd pay $$$ to have his avatar changed to a brick.

Just curious, how does one get tested for STDs, like the general ones, not HIV. Is there a single test that does it all, or does it take a long time?
All I have to say is you don't want to find out the hard way. I know plenty of guys who have had the 'swab' test, and they all described it as one of the most painful experiences of their life.

They shove a Q-tip extremely far into your penis.

Generally a blood/urine test can identify most STDs. Swabs are used by sadistic doctors.
Depends. Urine tests can be unreliable in some cases and blood tests are usually more expensive. Besides, who's to say that the memory of the fiery pain of a swab being rammed up your junk reminding you to wear a condom next time is a bad thing? :p
