  1. Never have "liked" the ocean, except for world-wide temp moderation & O2 production, etc. "It can be it," & "I'll be me," safely on land. Scary dude!

  2. But but but but the baby jesus

  3. I wonder if the basilisk in harry potter is any reference to this animal. Or if the name is just a coincidence

  4. dw it doesn't bite, anymore ๐Ÿ˜€

  5. thats gonna be all you meat bags soon

  6. Shout out to George Floyd on 662 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!๐Ÿ–•
