I love you fezz

 

[NotScott]

I’ll wear one of my hiwayern shirts if’s I want to...by god.

You go girl...I mean boy...nothing can penatrate that engaging persona of yours; certainly
not clothing...

Pointed out by Mal...
$20.00 for the shorts
$45.00 for the stupid backwards baseball cap.
$250.00 for not knowing the tune.

That's $315.00 for the kitty, Miley. Pay up and we can finally get channel 7 on the board fixed.
Then we'll talk about you singin' flatter'n roadkill...
