Think this might a total THOD (thread of the day).

maybe you’d like to give me a trophy? like ‘best thread maker’, for example? does that sound acceptable?

If pro-wrestling nerdery’s taught me anything wild testosterone based mood swings and concussion risk from leaping off shit is a bad, bad mixture
It also seems to fuck up/enlarge everyone’s hearts after a couple of years which is life shortening

Just going around awarding yourself trophies now are you without any democratic process? You’ve gone berserk and I’m fully behind it.

AQOS · 2019-10-23T14:45:42.920Z

was always on the card

colinzealuk · 2019-10-23T14:47:12.095Z

I could award you a badge if you like?

AQOS · 2019-10-23T14:47:24.216Z
