I thought batman doctored that article up at first.

I heard Shaq talk about covering the funeral costs last night during the game. For as much as I want to dislike the guy (because the unwritten rule is to dislike any dominating force unless it is the Skins), he always does something to show that he is a real gentleman. I still won't forgive him for Shazaam, though.

I'm still mad at him for Shaq Fu.

Well why else would a white guy have so much bling bling?

I could be a television evangelist. You don't know.

Judging by your avatar, maybe one that's signed a contract with Marvel.
