Okay, you have to have a brain to make up that bullshit. Congrats. Consider USING IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Video games and sports are pretty much a safe version of going to war. I find this forum boring sometimes when there isn't some kind argument going on. That's pretty much as far as it goes for me, I don't like serious angry arguments with family or friends. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason. |
