Dude, I just saw an insane YouTube video on this panda bear with a 46" vertical. . . but of course, with his girth, they think they could convert such insane leg strength and make him into one helluva road grader of an O-lineman. I think Tommy West at the U of M has a good chance at signing him. I gotta send you the link. . .

LMAO ;-)

My statements are not blind or ignorant.

America is probably the most hated country on the planet, I'm sorry if this is hard to deal with, but I'm sorry to let you know the truth.

Maybe if you left the country, went travelling, had some life experiences you would understand.

i was replying to comment, about someone who was upset that Americans are rooting for Russian fighters and then saying that all Pride FC fighters are loosing in the UFC. (Which is so far from accurate is embarrassing)

And if my writing mechanics and me looking pale in a photo that is over exposed due to a flash indoors is the best thing you can come up with, I have reason to believe that your journalism career wont go much further after your graduation.

Maybe you are still frustrated with the loss to Missouri still, or maybe it's all that built up sexual frustration you must have.

Cheers.

could you link me to the article where i said that? i do not recall the article.

although, i do believe what i said isn't very far from the truth, the US isn't the beloved country you may think it is. maybe puberty will give you some clarity.

cheers.

Hey John,

Just wanted to thank you for becoming a fan. While it's not the reason I write, it is still nice to hear that people are "fans."

If you don't mind me asking, which article(s) did you read that prompted you to click that "become a fan" button? Ha.

Roll Tide,
Bama Chick

You're a Curry fan, so you'll like this.

Why Aaron Curry is a better pick than Matt Stafford. I did big time research. Please comment.

So sorry it took me this long to reply, John.

Actually, I was thinking much along the same lines as you. I have a very intriguing plan in mind. Could you take a minute to e-mail me at the addy on my profile? Then I can reply and let you know what I have in mind.
