But I remember gong here and see a new one today and tomorrw and soon and so on. But not anymore. and that bumbs me out.

    I mean look at this one! I’m not even sure that hoverscraft is reaally a real thing even but then free eels! I mean that’s just too funny! What kind a person makes up a thing like hovercraf and then puts free eels too? That’s TWISTSED! I think mabey hovercraft is like a hover board or something but it sounds funnier and thats what makes is a twisted history! Then plus the ells too and you have the hole joke.
