Just got a sweet-ass, face-melting bass amp that makes every dog in a three-block radius crap the floor. The vibrations take inches off old womens’ waists and send young womens’ panties…
[Link] “Host Todd Oldham!” is not the most promising lead.
When the Zombie War starts, would one be better off giving in early and becoming a zombie as soon as possible? I mean, what is the fight of trying to prolong the inevitable?
