On the side of the bottle it reads
Twist hair
Grimace
Watch the news
Scream for an hour on and off
Tell your Mom - IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS -
I DO NOT WANT DINNER!!!!
Get keys
Drive to Sportsman's Paradise
Buy gun
Drive to Wal-Mart
WHAT???? NO BULLETS????
Drive to second Wal-Mart
Buy bullets
Sleep
Don't sleep
All part of the conspiracy
Glenn is right, Glenn is right, Glenn is right
Drive to rally
Walk with purpose
SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT
Reload
Scream
GOLD IS GOOD,
BUT LEAD IS BETTER!!!!!!
