But then it's like groundhog day, but you age instead of having sex with the cute blonde.Thelaw23 wrote:PrezRand wrote:Bush was president too lmaoThelaw23 wrote:Can you imagine that when the OP posted, there wasn't a Great Recession yet?lhanvt13 wrote:Michael Bay made his first Transformers moviePrezRand wrote:Bush was president too lmaoThelaw23 wrote:Can you imagine that when the OP posted, there wasn't a Great Recession yet?
