You fail to get into uni and doom yourself to a lifetime of menial labour.

I'd start practicing saying "Do you want fries with that" if I were you. :lol:

Post by: an0n on August 15, 2003, 12:55:49 am: Well that's fantastic.

Now I'll have to beat the goddamn crap outta my mom to stop her opening the damn thing.

Every goddamn thing I get, no matter what threats I make, she just has to stick her goddamn nose in.

I'll wake up and see her looming over me with a "Ninja Supplies" catalogue and a frown.

One of these days I'm just gonna post myself a bondage harness and see what happens.
