Wait, wait. Am I misunderstanding this thread? Snark (noun) An imaginary animal (used to refer to someone or something that is difficult to track down). 😉 ---

I swear to god. You people have no fucking anger. No fucking bile to spew. So far this lame fucking piece of shit should have been born in MPSIMS and hopefully it would have died there. It’s like you all just came in here to suck each other’s dicks and make stupid fucking jokes. Either make with the fucking hate or GTFO!
