They were the ones they had been waiting for...
I see what you did there. That is some funny way to say it.
A technicolor yawn — should be a new FR meme, and associated with 0bola.
But underneath that “ain’t I grand” exterior is a deep and intense self-loathing because they know they “ain’t” so grand.
BO is the hurt little boy whose parents didn’t love him and abandoned him.
Trouble is he’s taking revenge on all of us.
I think that is exactly what is happening.
