Bullman's pizza in Helena has a wicked good Teriyaki Chicken pie with pineapples. It converted me to the dark side of pineapple on pizza.
WHAT?! I must explore such carbloaded goodness. Then maybe I could train like a mountain guide after reading a riveting article in the Journal of Mountain Hunting promoting my gym

Pure genius to some like me. Elitist hunting snob to a certain element who would say using children as props to promote your hustle is just child abuse and monetization of "the resource"
Any money I can make from my kids seems justifiable to me. Those precious little cookie munchers cost a lot to keep shoes on their feet.
I’ve had to eliminate NR applications from my budget.
At least the slave labor helps cut down on construction costs.25CD0239-5072-400F-A723-BBB3CD84E771.jpeg31AB7C70-D54A-4823-A8CC-B1A796D3B724.jpeg
 
I've lost interest in this thread and am moving on. It would actually be funny if everyone just stopped responding to the OP and let his threads just sit there with no responses. He could go "astrosurf" someone else's turdcutter.
This is a good idea. We are giving him attention, even if it's ridicule, he's still getting some weird satisfaction out of it. A good old fashioned shunning may be the best medicine for a personality like this.
