I’d definitely purchase a large house, but I’d probably go the opium addict route. Mind, not opiates, but opium. I could see myself going the full 19th Victorian, elaborate pipes, plush furniture, and floor to veiling artwork so my eyes have something to look at when orbital movement has ceased due to my body turning…

Tom, being not impressed.

You never go full retard.

I don’t disagree with this statement. She’s the female version of Kevin Spacey’s character from House of Cards, I’m convinced of that.

I read that as libertarian and was confused; everyone knows that Easy Spirit shoes and threadbare cardigans are the part and parcel of communists.

Pedroso came back to their hotel room and found Oliveira there with another Olympic hard body, canoeist Pedro Goncalves.

This is the weirdest humble-brag I’ve ever read, because your life SUCKS.

Aw, I never get tired of butt-hurt. It’s just so perfect for certain situations.

If you don’t want to make plans I’m fine with that, but don’t expect me to accommodate you last minute when you decide I am worthy of your time.
