I’ll reopen the comments to the original entry because that’s just 150+ pieces of nonstop hilarity up in there.

So, I ask you - what’s your call? Doing it? Or just having a bit of an asthma problem? Swallowing invisible avocados? If you think they’re not Doing It, then tell me in the comments, what ARE they doing? I’ll draw a winner to take home their own copy of The Earl Claims His Wife.

Are They Doing It?
