        The organic interactions are so weird. It's like Elsagate for adults. They see Jesus or a soldier and they clap because they know that guy.

        One hell of a pressure ulcer. His hyper-advanced terminator leg is poorly fitted which says a lot about the quality of healthcare at the future VA.
