PurpleOnion 165 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I heard what the "scientists" said, but I looked at their plans and they were a disaster. Obama tried to make a sprit, but it was a total disaster: long, dark, and stiff. It would cause destruction in a Stormy. I said to our wonderful first lady, "All I need is a Sharpie" and it's like a miracle. People can't believe it. Many people say this is the best prod they've ever seen. The do nothing, port tacking democrats are trying to give this a low rating and other racers are laughing at us. I have appointed Jared to head the PHRF committee and we will win bigly. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
