It’s like none of you ever read a MAD magazine sheesh
I’m starting to wonder if this inversion is some kind of ruse. Is David really in Australia? Is David even real??
Well, you say that, but it’s still upside down for me.
And I’m still not reading it!
I have since read the article 🙂
Is it Friday yet? I seriously need to get to a dirt track to watch some races and reset my brain.
