    it is time to read up eh?

    I still kind of have issues with retards.. I mean, beating is pretty much a tactile thing for me.. I.e. I like the smell of retards, I like punching faces ..

    In other words, it is nice to get away from the computer sometimes and just beat..

    Though, I congratulate their efforts, it is cool
