Nostradamus My Ass

the commune's Omar Bricks revises history with an eye for alcohol-fuled funnycar racing
I'm here to talk to you tonight, to tell you that this bogus shit has gone on long enough. You know what I'm going to say, don't you? Well you're wrong, this isn't about turkey thermometers and how come they don't work for people too. This is about some serious shit this time, no foolin'.
