Cross words are the bomb, not crossword puzzles. Getting across some Cross Words at some punks as they rummage through your garbage for free junk you just through out because your cat told you to get rid of that old coat and dumb beret and ragged bloody organ should not be reason for them to fucking rummage!

Aye, I'm already old, talking to cats.

I actually make my bed.
I choose masturbation and a good night's sleep to a one-night-stand and sub-par sex.
