Re: Questions to women! (4.00 / 2)

Re: What? (4.00 / 2)

trippy:

To be used as a comment when something out of the ordinary occurs--weird, but comical, strange, odd.
Stoners tend to use this comment when reacting to other Stoners' stories, comments, etc.

Re: Questions to women! (4.00 / 11)

I was going to point out that I am a very handsome, well-tempered funny heterosexual thirtish bloke...which generates 1 kcurie of radioactivity constantly...

Re: Questions to women! (4.00 / 3)
