You’re not quite as good as Lezak at predictions but you suck more cock than he does. Nice work.
Delete8:31 He died today stupid fuck. Can't count them till they go pinchers up.
ReplyDeleteWhat's this "unhappy update" nonsense? Don't presume that this makes a lot of us sad. A few more dead negroes are a great thing. We all win!
ReplyDeleteIt's like JOCO dog walkers picking up after fido. A good thing when it happens.

Each year there appears more "black" Irish are in our local Saint Pat's Day parade. Was there a famine in County Kenyon that brought them over here?
