> [@mattmorgan64](#): > > Fucking idiot. Go suck Bryan’s cock. You two seem to have mutual interests. Well, having my cock sucked is in fact an interest of mine. What say, jin?

Well, if you lie to the Girl Scouts, you get to have a mother who is alive and not in horrific pain. If you tell the truth, not so much.
