The only thing more upsetting than not getting a Lynx Africa pack for Xmas was not getting that book. I sent the link to the mrs months beforehand too telling her if anyone was going to buy me anything for xmas for it to be that. If she'd sent me a "hint" that big and I didn't follow thru I would have been castrated I reckon ffs.

In no way is the following comment directed at the good man belch or the good Squries comedy but....lucky it wasnt a joke about other societal issues cause the selective moral outragers would go attack.
