Winnie is drinking purple to support gay suicides today and loves you the same no matter where you stick your peen / vg.

Today’s Gripe.  I was listening to the radio because the stupid cable for my ipod broke. Whaaat is this “G6″ shit Ke$ha is singing about?

Sometimes the stuff they play on the radio makes me feel so bad inside / suicidal.  Maybe Ke$ha is for gay suicides?

I goggled “G6″ and determined it’s a type of Pontiac which supports my theory that Ke$ha is a robot.

Have you seen those stickers with “that Calvin prankster” people put on their cars as a way of telling you they are a douchebag?? They should make one of Calvin peeing on Ke$ha.  It would probably implode.

Now is the time to buy btw!!! max your credit now!

His tracks are like heroin except without the dry mouth and warm flashes. Here is an exclusive sneak download of a track off the upcoming release. Winnie loves it!

The best No More Strangers yet.  All our favorite people in one night.  Video footage to follow.  Big thank yous to Boogie Monster, Babe Rainbow (apparently Cam Reed’s first live show ever), Gang Violence and Basketball.
