m E O W/Donna...seriously...even though I luv smelling the Paul Reiser shoe over and over and over again, you are just hopeless, lonely and in need of whatever help you can muster. Gal, even though I spoiler the Batchelorrette (and will soon spoiler the Batchelorr Pad), you need a life, a reality check and maybe some time in the funny farm to finally get a hold of your priorities and maybe there might be some hope for you. Even though ericthemidshit and I are tampon louses, it's pointless to call you names anymore because you'll just say the same stupid crap like you always do. Even though I kiss up endlessly to dat divet miss thang preta the divet, just hoping one day you'll see the light because sister, you've got problems and you need to tackle them head on instead of wastign whatever you refer to as a life on these forum boards obsessing over the craziest of **** like a reality show and Paul Reiser and stuff. Even though I write long and boring essays that are worse than the dribble put forth by preta's assistant's assistant copy and paster, lose the alter egos as well because honey, you're not fooling anyone by that charade of yours. Even though I am a haha lol purr sad thin, stop being the focus of attention and get your life back on track and may I add, the quicker, the better. Just admit you need some help! Noww off to Thundera.
M E O W= cant respond right now...serving the lunch crowd at Mcdonalds!
sylvester take the green pill not the red one. By taking the red one you tend to ramble and get paranoid. Remember what the Doctor said....ok?!?!
my left ball hangs lower than my right ball
Love in the wild = epic FAIL. How do you lose viewers to Primetime Nightline? Even CSI numbers are sickly.
