3 years on…. danrimage is still right

that link of her with her ass hanging out that ZMF posted has done the precise opposite of what he intended… she looks dumb as hell and sexy as a claw hammer.

he had to edit out all the car chases and dick jokes.

lol

splosions

take more creative writing classes
