life in and around a Vancouver suburb
Peter’s Prostate
27Nov2009 Filed under: Silly Stuff Author: R&OHere’s a hilarious bit from Family Guy in which our hapless hero gets his first prostate exam. For those of you considering your first digital experience this should vanquish all your fears.
Excuse the annoying hulu.com ads during the video (this stuff just makes me hate the advertisers that splash their annoying shit all over youtube) but it’s the best quality version available. Enjoy.

It's so weird that it bothers me as I have a pilots license, have flown aerobatics in small single engine planes, flown hang gliders and ultra lights. I guess not being strapped i […]
- Wedding reception performance at the Eagle Harbour Yacht ClubThis performance will begin in the club house at 4pm and end at 8pm.
