I’d be impressed by a supermodel with three legs too. ---

–makes a PIT-level, possibly NSFW crack about Santos and thinks better of it, being all P&E– Now now @Elendil_s_Heir, you’re surely not suggesting he was lying about his sexual orientation previously? I mean, of course it’s possible, he’s lied about nearly everything _else_, but I wouldn’t want us to go too far. 😉 ---
