I couldn't name a Taylor Swift song by the title nor a song by any other big pop artist, but I'm not going to say I've never heard any of them, because that's impossible even for someone half a recluse and I don't go into topics about those artists to brag about not knowing their music because that's stupid. --- http://i.imgur.com/hslUvRN.jpg When I sin I sin real good. <cite>Southernfatman posted [p:976655489] in Why do peo...
