Philly Phanatic Grinds It Out With A Heffer (Video)
Sure, the Philly Phanatic might be fat, green and hairy, but he can do better than this, can’t he? After all, the thing(?) is an icon in Philadelphia. You would think it could get all the big-chested blondes it wanted. I guess it only prefers those that look similar to its own kind. I wonder [...]
