Stop killing humans with your tailpipe hypocrite. They have a right not to be killed by you. Start
believing in your own bullshit first and maybe others might take you seriously.

Note to St. Derek.

1. How the **** can you respect this guy?
2. *WHAT* the **** can I learn from him?
3. Decent? What the ****?
4. Honest? What the ****?
5. Intelligent? **** no.

Yep, Rupert is very smart and inquisitive and you regret a lot of stuff you've said to him because
he's a decent but no way is Ball smarter than him!!! How the **** can I stick with Ball and learn
stuff I never thought existed? He's a **** end of.
