Come and try that again up here scumbugs. You’ll get a bullet in your ass.
Hell yea! Power to the people.
I’m becoming increasingly resistant to returning to St. John.
I’m wondering if, for any reason, things are less safe since the hurricane.
I am confused, why were the two released to their parents?
