I dont rember saying I was showing anywere. Why dont you come out to my neck of the woods. I'll be at St tomas on the 10th. That way you cant cry because thats plenty of notice.

5PointOHNO

Don't you remember saying this?

Well here's a newsflash for ya pal. We never raced, if we did, you'd shut your ****ing mouth, and you'd be standing in a corner somewhere If you ever happened to see me around again.

You'll learn quite quickly that for me to shut up, you'd actually have to possess the testicular fortitude to pull beside and back that mouth of yours up.
