    No I don...well we were in Scottsdale, we weren't driving a $60k+, we don't make $100k+ a year, and we weren't white. Come to think of it, yeah you're probably right.

    fuck you paladin.

    if you do some more research, GWB is from CT. they sell shirts along the riverwalk (right next to the alamo), im sure he's got one. has "I'm not from Texas, but I got here as fast as I could" printed on it.

    and the reason it's illegal to piss on the alamo is because ozzy osbourne did it. got him a 10 year ban. i did it thoughin my younger days. not the alamo building proper, but one of the ancillary buildings. i really had to go.

    I still hate you all.
