Harry, you are nothing short of an asshole. Always was, always will be.



Isn't it amazing how you and the Harry ID spoofer are here at the same
time, again? Why, it is almost as if you are both typing from the same
computer, and just taking enough time to "shift" servers and posting
IDs. Maybe you can get "Ziggy" up, too.

these assholes, why don't you actually start a thread related to a
boating topic. Do you own a boat?
