He was the kid who pulled his underwear down to his ankles at the urinal to piss at school. I understand the joys doing that brings, but like get a fucking stall dude. I can't remember if he was also the kid who ate worms but he ate dirt so brain memory confused gets. This means you all need to eat more dirt to make up for poor brain crippled JoshuBob. Two out of ten Veterinarians recommend you eat 8 cups of humus a day to maintain a luscious, rich sheen on your scales. Do you want to disappoint your veterinarian or get chitin pestilence? That's what I thought. Chitin pestilence it is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mearcfara@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago I don't really know what to make of that but congratulations or that sucks I guess permalink fedilink source parent
