Wow. “A ***** like” me...well you are what you eat I guess. 

Such a tough guy. Must have such proud proud parents.

Wonder how many times they had to 302 your surly ass..haha. You definitely strike me as some one who’s spent some time in a padded room strutting along to that Thorazine shuffle. 

Well at any rate, I’m so glad we can amuse each other.
