This beast comes out when it is 25 degrees below zero
It can rip your head off
It can fly as high as a bird
It can bite your face
The Chicken Cow
The Chicken Cow
The Chicken Cow
The Chicken Cow
This beast killed as many as 100,000 people
Its wings can flap like a bird
It can break a glass
It can also stab you in the ass
The Chicken Cow

This beast attacked my brother
It stabbed him in the ass while he was in the cold
His hands were frostbitten
His hands were also numb

Blockbuster Video, wow, what a difference!
Personally, I think we should stop trying to block all these spammers. Today is a tough day for everyone. Thinking about a year ago, how the world for many of us was turned upside down... it's hard to go about your daily routine. And yet, when I arrived at work, my mailbox was crammed full of spams, just like always. While many people are coming in late or taking the day off, these spammers continue to keep me updated about new penis enlargement technologies. They put aside their personal grief and send out news of a new get-rich-quick scheme, thereby showing the terrorists that they will never win. God bless them.
