Yay, first one to comment!

a baby or twelve? have them as in have them or have them as in adopt them? Blonde's not so nice -no offence- I mean, you've got all these horrible jokes told about blondes..

Hello Scarlo,
'Have' as in conceive and deliver :)..
I don't think adoption is an option here.

And my jokes never come out funny..

I translated the lyrics of a Brazilian song, and turns out that 'Madrugada' = dawn..or shurooq.


Just thought I'd pass by, sound intellectual, and pass the knowledge.

I'll now leave quietly.
