Short for Paxton, probably. Not that it matters.
You mean, THE Pax Dickinson?
Bro Pax ought to check out monster.com for technology media jobs in the Republic of North Colorado -- it sounds like his kind of place.
Are you suggesting that the popped collar and shades somehow overcome this asshole&#039;s poor social skills, low EQ, and sexual frustration?
<i>have a&hellip;limited&hellip;understanding of the First Amendment</i>
Well that and the fact that they keep confusing it with a Patronus Charm.
You mean outside of Three 6 Mafia?
That was almost better than sex.
.... in son
Call CPS!
Is that VB with <em>bro</em>ces?
