Bwog Staff 6

cumb could probably afford to secretly fund this tbh
first person to photograph themselves posing erotically with the statue gets a prize
i think we can all agree butler is the best place they could possibly put this
is there an owl hidden in her vagina?
most old people use canes and shouting to get kids off their lawns - cu uses erotic statues
now that Aragorn spoke here it's only fitting they put a statue of Shelob up
we may have a new favorite statue
