    I got a lot of badges when I was a scout. Didn’t have to use my penis for any of them.

      I’ll never forget how I earned my “not scared in the dark” badge. A penis wasn’t involved, but cooked spaghetti.

        Maybe.

        Come over to this hotel room. Show me what you learned, and I’ll assess your skills. Then I can tell you if it was fake.

          As a scout in the 90s, I can remember entire summer camps spent discussing Marilyn manson and his missing rib
