QUOTES OF THE YEAR!!!

I’ve always wanted to be in the Quotes of the Week but I’m a hit-and-miss. I’ve been crossing my fingers all week long in the hopes that at least one of my lines made it to this year’s prestigious set. Damn. The competition was stiff!

If you want to join the Quotes of the Week (as I shall resolve to reposting it more faithfully in this blog), please come join us for a platter or three of SPP or smokes or coffee or towers of beer. You don’t need such an intense situation to deliver such a powerful line. You need only Mannschaft United to set you up and you’re good to go. I invite you to come and chill with us. Yes, there is a possibility of jail time and burning in hell but … we have cupcakes.

Without further ado … the quotes of the year.
