[Shotimes] Rear Wheel Bearings 89

Tue, 18 Apr 2006 13:11:31 -0400

Michael Jackson has (for not much longer) his llamas and his own private amusement park.  This "teacher" had a red Corvette.  I guess that was all the "candy" he needed to get you in his car.  Did he offer the ride or did you ask for the ride?  Either way, it's creepy.  You're lucky all you got was a "ride", or are you not telling us the full story?  Did your parents know you went for a "ride with your teacher"?  Alone?  In a small 2-seat sports car?  With someone 20-yrs your senior?  I find it hard to believe that there were no pedophiles....in Arizona....in 1984....
