In a bottle.

Am I that famous?

Thank you, but this is much prettier [posted by a goon in a thread called "make ugly people pretty in photoshop"] :




I signed up back in may. Weeding through the rampant catchphrases, trendy homophobic and racist comments, and people who like Fight Club, it's pretty funny.
