Wow, those are all really funny!
I wish I could have both feast andfamine. That would be sweet.
I’m the fella that said “It’s sorta like 1800′s retro,” by the way.
Actually 2 red bulls is enough to make you stay up all night. I once drank two without thinking about it and I was all hyperactive until 4 AM.
Man, if two is all it takes I am going to get some. Lately I’ve had a lot of work to do and staying up a few extra hours can be important.
Really funny quotes, will you add some more to it.
