BT I think says he has a contest for the most nastiest BT t shirt. Mine is abused but because it is black with white lettering it is hard to tell. Maybe one of those forensic lights will be needed to determine the winner. | |

I think there's been more puns on this thread than on an average season of the Dick Van Dyke show. | |
|
Fri. 1/6/12 5:53pm
DJ KG:
vh w/ dlr, oui. | |
|
Fri. 1/6/12 5:54pm
Cecile:
no, he's not. he has a dress code, unfortunately... What's even funnier is that he got like 2 tsp of sewer water on the bottom of his shoes, and he's already cleaned them off with Lysol. He's not even dirty. And yet, I'd probably do the exact same thing. | |
|
Fri. 1/6/12 5:54pm
