Cut his head off.
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
This clown is such a jive turkey.
I’m stunned. Especially with the ‘original’ thing.
I suggest a FReeper cage death match !
Judging by the imposter’s posts, I’m guessing its a chic. If that is the case, a thorough spanking is in order.
Liars lie. It is what they do...
