[togivewhatisdue]

Well, your complaints are more amusing than others'.

[search2destroy]

That's sweet, Nemesis. I'll have to keep that in mind the next time something like this happens to you instead of me.

[the_unrelenting]

[shadeofspring]

This all makes sense now...

[search2destroy]

You don't say.

[shadeofspring]

OLD

Tithonus is young though.. Will you die of old age?

[search2destroy]

... not before you die of blunt force trauma, genius.

[rockswillroll]

Violins?

[search2destroy]

The tiniest in the world.

[rockswillroll]

Why violins?

[search2destroy]

It's a figure of speech.
