Not gonna lie - I was expecting that. If not, Cat was in some serious danger. Couture has problems.

LOL Yah, as if you were expecting a submission, and that quickly, from Zingano... a win? Sure... but this? You're the biggest liar on the planet claiming you expected this.

It is a good call actually.... being you're quoting dead people. Hitler's dead, so therefore isn't on the planet anymore and cannot be the biggest liar.

Well, atleast you're quote people that are alive... that's something. lol I am right allot more than I get credit for though... that doesn't mean I always am either... just that I am in this case. Thanks for noticing.

Hitler's remains are still on the planet, Special. If you want to argue the technicality of semantics, don't do so with the IQ of a lobotomized lab rat.

(Don't get me wrong - strive for the IQ of a lab rat - it's an improvement for you - just not a lobotomized one.)

[The Sandmen]

Excellent. My goal was to wound you, so now that you are wounded, mission accomplished! Take that, George W. Bush Post-Operation Freedom.
