Damn you still here. I'd though you'd be in jail by now for exposing
yourself to women on the tube.

I've spent the last few months liftin major weights, studying the most
advanced forms of kung fu around. My fists are like ****ing thunder.
I'm ****in harder than before and ready to teach you clowns a lesson.
And I'm gonna start with you **** face.

I'll be at the next Labor Black League Reader circle. Will you?
