Paragon Avenger

"That's funny as hell"
(Yeah fire, brimstone and demon torment are hilarious,  :roll: .)

Paragon Avenger

That's so unfunny, it's laughable.

If you think that I'm going to post here, you got another thing coming.

(That's totally wrong.  It should be, "If you believe that I would post something here then perhaps you should reconsider.")

Killed by Death
Killed by Death
