Your reality has you shackled firm. Let loose them, break them, and fly free, young sparrow. The chains of fate cannot bind the strong will, nor hold they long fiery passion.

Leave humor to the bears, Ebenezer.

Quote:Whatever it is, maybe I just need more time to get your humor. You did admit to poking people with sticks sometimes.

I'll poke people with toothpicks if I feel it'd be a good laugh. I try to avoid their eyes or their vitals, however... never know when my toothpick will become a greatsword and spear a bitch.

Though... it should be noted that this is exactly what science is Tiger

What in the name of Godzilla are you on about? ROFLOL
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
