tvashtarkatena Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 One has to wonder; does anyone in Sheaf Stout's life take him seriously? If that answer is no, that's pretty sad. If that answer is yes, that's pretty scary. Quote
Clavote Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Stump shaft...you post and you say nothing. How boring. No brains to actually come up with something on your own. You simply copy and paste smarter people's propaganda. You really are a pathetic thing. How is the Post Traumatic theraphy going? Quote
