It’s only a misdemeanor charge to break into over 100 homes for panties. 3 years for this!?
@Bro-What has that got to do with this article?
Hmmm, he looks a little tired. Probably been busy building rubber huts.
@Buzz-I think the rubber hut got flooded out in the rain and is now a mud hole in the ground.
LVS….That will be the excuse why they would never be finished. You know it wouldn’t be his fault.
I think you guys are secretly cheering me on and want to see a miracle. I may just give you one. I work better in the underdog position.
