[Ads-l] to ninja-slip

Thu Oct 8 04:51:44 UTC 2015

OMG. A title you could not write in a novel because nobody would believe it. And it has an average review of 3.7.

In any case, I think “Ninja Fuck Master” is three nouns, along the lines of “warrior judo master."

I had trouble with the link. Here’s a bit.ly <http://bit.ly/> version: http://bit.ly/1VG2lKo <http://bit.ly/1VG2lKo>
