CURSE YOUR GIVING THE ILLUSION OF DYSGRAPHIA, THUS CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO WRITE THIS LENGTHY RESPONSE TO YOUR CORRECTION OF MY ORIGINAL CURSING OF YOUR DYSGRAPHIA!
i know lol… but since I’m american that would make it a “foreign” film and therefore an “art” film… my jokes are even MORE lame on the internet than in person *sigh*
Imagine all of your favourite american buddy cop / action movies rolled up into one big ball of delicious stupid with a slight touch of the office / python / mr bean at the same time.
because that is after all pretty much what they were going for
When I lived on that, the doors had locks on both sides so you could lock your suite mates out of your room if desired. Of course, it had the flaw of also allowing you to accidentally (or on purpose, I s’pose) lock your roommate in the bathroom.
In three years, I rarely saw them used, but then I never had a suite mate quite like Joyce.
meaning you could still technically lock Joyce out, but you’d also be locking her out of the shared bathroom. Which is probably against the rules, so then Ruth would have to come in and steal your femurs.
The more I hear of this sort of thing, the more I’m glad that the shared-room dormitory idea never managed to cross the atlantic. It’s clearly the product of a deranged and sadistic mind.
Particularly sharing one bathroom between two already-shared rooms. It’s bad enough having one of them in a 4-bed house conversion where you’ve all happily agreed to live together there, 1 person (or 1 dating couple…) to a room, and the bedrooms (and bathroom) all have separate doors onto the hallway. Or person-to-a-room dorms with a big shared bathroom block (…actually quite a friendly affair despite a 6:1 room:toilet ratio).
But what’s illustrated here (and, I know, the reality of US universities) would be one of my visions of hell.
Bunk beds, seriously? For people who in most places are old enough to drink, smoke, drive, vote, take out a mortgage, model for adult magazines, get married, etc? That sort of thing should be confined to hostels and the military.
No. Fresca is allegedly grapefruit flavored soda. Mountain Dew, as far as I know, doesn’t claim to be based on anything in nature. And yet I’d still rather drink it.
Weirdly enough, I’m drinking a Fresca even as I read this exchange. It’s, like, the only sugar free soda out there that doesn’t use that fact as its primary selling point.
If you drink Mountain Dew while eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, the sweet receptors in your tongue get numbed and it winds up tasting sort of like grapefruit juice. (The citrus flavor of Mountain Dew is supposed to be based on orange, for what it’s worth.)
When I worked there the only real observation section was on my side of the counter. On special occasions that’s where the drunks were also, but we didn’t care if we were screwing up the dynamic.
She could just hang a large picture of Anton LaVey on the dorm door. Or cradle with the Satanic Bible before passing out. Both very humorous and good ways to ward off Joyce.
wow I thought it was bad when people came uninvited into my room when it hot, the door open and I was in my underwear. And then they yelled at me for being in my underwear.
As brought up in earlier strips, Billie’s room and Joyce’s room are joined by a halfbath. You can only unlock that half-bath from the inside. In order to keep Joyce from entering Billie’s room, Billie would have to lock Joyce’s door to the bathroom. Nobody’s an idiot.
While letting a hole like that exist is reasonable for Billie, after this she should be sticking a chair under the doorknob. There is NO reason to let someone have unfettered access to your room.
Having known people to enter friends’ apartments through their fourteenth story balcony window, roof access, or (in one very odd case) foundation, sometimes (rarely, but sometimes) you’re just better off to leave the door open.
I don’t know if I’m a representative sample, but it’s more than I get through most of the semester.
I still wouldn’t react well to that wakeup though. Probably worse than Billie actually. Potentially violently. That’s no way to wake someone up. In fact, why the hell is anyone waking me up anyway? I have an alarm for that.
Fucking people think they can go waking up people. What reason does Joyce even have to be doing this now that we’re talking about it? Does she want to play or something? Does she need something from Billie? Surely it’s not just the principle that someone was sleeping at eight in the morning and thus needed to be awoken.
Guess that’ll be the subject of tomorrow’s update. Oddly enough I’m gonna bet that this gets followed up by “Silly sleepy head. You almost slept past mass. Wouldn’t want to miss that would you?”
Actually, the minimum is more than four hours, since she slept while she was in the closet too. Add at least another hour or so of sleeping in the closet, and she’s probably up to a minimum of five hours of sleep, which is something I get by on all the time. Quite likely around seven hours (say approximately 12 – 3 & 4 – 8 with an hour gap in the middle where she had the beers and fumed over Sal), so she shouldn’t be too sleepy once she fully wakes up.
Still, even when you’re well rested, nobody likes being awakened like that.
Dude, Pinkie Pie always thinks you need a Pinkie Pie Party. Her social group is consequently comprised of people who can handle a near constant stream of Pinkie Pie Parties.
There is at least one occasion when Pinkie Pie has interpreted basic politeness as a burning need to continue partying and then spent the better part of a day indulging in increasing paranoia about why there wasn’t any partying happening.
The difference between Pinkie Pie and Joyce is that Pinkie Pie knows who her friends are, whereas Joyce thinks everyone is her friend and is equally interested in her Joyce parties.
I guess I’m going to have to say it. Panel 4. I never quite noticed it before, but Billie is totes gifted. Those are some rockin tits. They want to escape. They want to be let out.
I don’t know why , but at first I thought Joyce was saying “Walky Walky”. ^_^ … Don’t look at me that way, I make mistakes. Also, Poor Billie, she didn’t get much sleep from the looks of it.
that song is now in my head. Goddamnit what’s up with me and church songs this week? I haven’t gone to church in 2 years and suddenly it’s all stuck in my head.
I now am shipping this so hard, but that’s probably nostalgia for occasionally being the drunkenly-waking-Billie in situations like this. Situations like this with added kissing, I mean.
So what part of barging uninvited into the room of a perpetually angry and at times violent drunk and forcing them awake loudly seemed like a good idea Joyce?
it would be funny if they released it but it was just a cinema painted on the side of a cliff

‘COYOTE VS ACME’ has been officially saved by Ketchup Entertainment, who bought the film for $50M
They plan to give the film a worldwide theatrical release in 2026.
do y'all remember when they found all that tf art in Osamu Tezuka's drawer post-mortem because I think about it often
anyway keep chasing your bliss and draw weird shit, god knows we need that right now
Today in #9ChickweedLane I learned that I have to weigh which is worse: the cartoonist already forgetting what this guy looks like one daily strip later, or that, yes, he's actually meant to be an old man, not a victim to an older cartoonist forgetting what young people look like
Like any average American, I’m for universal basic income and abolishing the police. I can’t get on board with these ultra-leftists calling for the universal hive mind, though!

Gaaah!
Right in her FAAACE!
I thought Sal had the top bunk later on. No?
Wakey Wakey, hands off snakey!
Is that reference to masturbation or something? We’ve had quite enough of that this week.
You can never have enough masturbation references.
That is the most perfect image for that statement. <3
You have a quota on masturbation references?
No more than 3 times a day. Things can get problematic after that.
I’m pretty sure that if you actually masturbate, it resets the counter, so you can make more masturbation references. Hmm, one more masturbation reference, and I’m at quota. Ooops, that’s three. I’ll be back in a while.
Just as long as the quota is limited to references, not actions.
Seems like a polite version of the classic Army wake-up shout, “drop your cocks and grab your socks!”
“hands off cocks, on with socks”?
though i have heard yours, just mangled the other way round by a confused foreigner-character in a manga…
that avatar is curiously close to how i’d choose to cartoon myself, except for a couple of minor genetic details… so, 8/10?
We need one of those for ladies too. High and dry, hands off vaj? I dunno.
Snakes have no hands.
It means hand off of the snakey.
I love you.
My snakey is a spitting cobra. It spits a LOT of venom.
Aaah! Joyce knows where you live!
But is that a good thing?
No.
Pretty far from good.
I hear that the Falkland Islands are lovely this time of year.
They’re called Malvinas actually. And I hope you’re being ironic. Even in Buenos Aires we’re freezing our snakey off.
Seeing as this website is in the English language, then they are the Falkland Islands. Las Malvinas is the spanish name for them, and therefore neither is incorrect. Please don’t try and start a second Falklands war on a webcomic comment page =/
Ok, first I disagree with you on the name and sovereignty of the islands and i do not wish to get into an arguement over it. Second it’s a joke. I know full well that it is winter in the southern hemisphere at this time.
However it is late winter/early spring in the southern hemisphere in the comic.
Was feeling cranky this morning, sorry.
Spring can still get pretty cold down there too anyways
Joyce sees you in your nightmares.
She knows when your awake.
She knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good or she’ll hire Mike to punch you.
You better not shout, you better not cry, ’cause crying only encourages him…
Joyce Brown sits inside your head
Joyce Brown lives among the dead
Joyce Brown see you in your bed–
Wait, wrong rhyme, sorry.
Suddenly….JOYCE!
Similar to having a cat, except less hairballs and more proselytizing.
And the difference being?……
The hairballs are less disgusting.
Locks.
Locks on doors are nice.
Joyce and Billie’s rooms are connected by a half-bath, which has doors that you can only lock from the inside. Fun trivia!
OH SHI-
OH SHI- is right. Joyce sees you, she who hides behind walls.
OH SILT!
CURSE YOUR DYSGRAPHIA!
No that was on purpose.

It was a Hot Fuzz reference. Sorry.
… I don’t watch art films.
It’s a action-comedy film by the same people who made Shaun of the Dead.
i know lol… but since I’m american that would make it a “foreign” film and therefore an “art” film… my jokes are even MORE lame on the internet than in person *sigh*
Imagine all of your favourite american buddy cop / action movies rolled up into one big ball of delicious stupid with a slight touch of the office / python / mr bean at the same time.
because that is after all pretty much what they were going for
And that it not funny, cool, or cute.
you’ll be happy to know, they have locks on the other side now
When I lived on that, the doors had locks on both sides so you could lock your suite mates out of your room if desired. Of course, it had the flaw of also allowing you to accidentally (or on purpose, I s’pose) lock your roommate in the bathroom.
In three years, I rarely saw them used, but then I never had a suite mate quite like Joyce.
meaning you could still technically lock Joyce out, but you’d also be locking her out of the shared bathroom. Which is probably against the rules, so then Ruth would have to come in and steal your femurs.
Going in to your suite mates’ room uninvited by sneaking in through the bathroom is probably also against the rules.
The more I hear of this sort of thing, the more I’m glad that the shared-room dormitory idea never managed to cross the atlantic. It’s clearly the product of a deranged and sadistic mind.
Particularly sharing one bathroom between two already-shared rooms. It’s bad enough having one of them in a 4-bed house conversion where you’ve all happily agreed to live together there, 1 person (or 1 dating couple…) to a room, and the bedrooms (and bathroom) all have separate doors onto the hallway.

Bunk beds, seriously? For people who in most places are old enough to drink, smoke, drive, vote, take out a mortgage, model for adult magazines, get married, etc? That sort of thing should be confined to hostels and the military.
Loft beds are awesome. Losing them is the worst thing about having a wife. I mean, c’mon. Ladders! LADDERS.
Interesting. For security reasons, ours were lock from the room side, so it was quite possible to lock someone INSIDE the bathroom.
I’d be scared too, waking up to Joyce’s FAAAAAACE
Especially after being in the closet for so long.
With her penis.
I’m sorry, I had to do it.
It’s OK just as long as you used protection.
Of course I did! Trust me on this. I have the condom hat, after all.
So you have, that’s OK then. ^_^
With your mom, for a nickel!
Could be worse. Waking up to a clown wielding a chainsaw is worse that Joyce’s FAAAAAAACCCCEEEE!
No worse would be that clown WEARING Joyce’s FAAAAACE.
Not bashing the artwork or anything but does anyone noticed the white void in Joyce’s mouth?
It looks the same as any other open mouth in DoA.
Where I’m from we call that “void” your teeth.
Teeth usually has lines.
fun fact: joyce just has one huge tooth.
Wait until after the reboot. Those teeth will have lines from here to next week!
How about Joyce with a chainsaw?
Billie doesn’t need lines on her teeth to run her mouth fast.
I’m (not) Batman.
They call her “the one with triangle smile”.
Dang, I was totally gonna say that if someone hadn’t yet.
Joyce is a ninja. This is my personal canon.
Ceiling Joyce is my personal canon.
Ceilling Joyce is watching you…
Does this mean that she was watching that person masturbate last night then?
She watches EVERYONE. No exceptions.
Including herself?
Yes, but she rolls her eyes back into her head for that.
next comes basement joyce… and the monorail joyce.
… I actually really wanna see all that now.
Next comic? Joyce vs. Rick!!! One shall stand. One shall fall…
Joyce… just stop. That thing you’re doing right now. You need to not be doing that.
The fact that your ava makes it sound like Joyce talking to herself makes it even better.
I always talk to myself.
Or do I?
I talk to myself and I answer back.
Gotta have an intelligent conversation with *someone* don’t I??
So do I. To quote Beast Wars Megatron, “I simply have a penchant for intelligent conversation.”
Joyce likes to pop in while you are unconcious, should I be worried?
Naw, it could be TOTALLY innocent.
Billie had better search around her room after this, it could be a tract!
Gah, you stole my punchline!
Hoping to start a IT’S A TRACT! meme were we?
We can’t repel fatuity of that magnitude!
Not with our FAAAAACES.
Also, I find your lack of femurs . . . disturbing.
Curse You!
I felt like I truely earnt the right to use Mike’s face just then.
But it’s not the Alex Delarge smile Mike face.
That’s a Clockwork Orange reference.
I’m on a troll smiley face theme this week. Who knows what I will use next week.
It’s Joyce. Of course it’s innocent!
…That is, if you define plastering the walls with leftover Chick Tracts as “innocent.”
She also emptied all the beer bottles/cans and refilled them with delicious Fresca.
Fresca+delicious? Two words that definitely don’t belong together
Fresca is something like Mountain Dew I take it?
No, it’s not like Mountain Dew.
Sounds bad.
No. Fresca is allegedly grapefruit flavored soda. Mountain Dew, as far as I know, doesn’t claim to be based on anything in nature. And yet I’d still rather drink it.
Grapefruit? Yeek!
think squirt, but with less flavor
Eposi, that sounds like another brand of soft-drink that we don’t have down here in Oz.
Squirt?!?! Eww..Forget it, I’d rather STAY dehydrated!
Weirdly enough, I’m drinking a Fresca even as I read this exchange. It’s, like, the only sugar free soda out there that doesn’t use that fact as its primary selling point.
They have black cherry now too.
Squirt, on the other hand, is the DEVIL.
If you drink Mountain Dew while eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, the sweet receptors in your tongue get numbed and it winds up tasting sort of like grapefruit juice. (The citrus flavor of Mountain Dew is supposed to be based on orange, for what it’s worth.)
Fanta taste kinda orangey but Mt Dew? Before I found what Mt Dew was, I thought it was lemonade/lime. cos of the colour.
Well, I would define that as a mortal insult to humanity.
Yes, you may panic now.
That is an unusual amount of self-awareness from Joyce. Also, am I the only one who misread the comic title as “Walky?”
Boy, if Billie was horrified by this surprise wakeup, imagine if it had been Walky.
She would have been outwardly angry, but secretly pleased. And aroused.
Billie X Walky!!! =D
That’d be depressing. At least, the set-up degradation of Billie to the point she’d accept Walky. T3h H4wtn3stea after that.
I think it would be cute.
especially if he brought some mcnuggets!
FIFTY MCNUGGETS, in fact.
No, I did too.
Eggs n’ bakey…. Oh yeah…. Now I’m all hungry. Good thing Denny’s is open all night.
Goth or Punk section?
Goth and punk observation section accually. Also, the drunks are funny.
When I worked there the only real observation section was on my side of the counter. On special occasions that’s where the drunks were also, but we didn’t care if we were screwing up the dynamic.
You mean… there’s times where Joyce DOESN’T wear a sweater vest!?! Oh, dear god… My world has been torn asunder… Hold me..
*slap* Just calm down. Get ahold of yourself.
Remember, Ceiling Joyce watches when you “get ahold of yourself”…
I think we’ve seen her in those same pajamas before… but I’m too lazy to find the link.
I’m pretty sure it’s not the only thing that comes off when she showers.
Joyce… that’s a bit creepy. Just a little.
And that’s why I lock (and latch) all the doors to m dorm when I sleep.
Did she just call Joyce “Jesus?” That was way too well-timed to be am ordinary blasphemy.
She could just hang a large picture of Anton LaVey on the dorm door. Or cradle with the Satanic Bible before passing out. Both very humorous and good ways to ward off Joyce.
Or having a picture of people doing pre-marital hanky-panky.
Or a picture of Ayn Rand.
It is settled, then. A picture of Ayn Rand and Anton laVey doing pre-marital hanky-panky.
*Little girl scream*
Of Terror!
Ohhhh, terror.
Not ecstasy.
Okay? Final answer?
thanks, now I need a late night bottle of brain bleach
wow I thought it was bad when people came uninvited into my room when it hot, the door open and I was in my underwear. And then they yelled at me for being in my underwear.
Was this around 3pm?
Were they photo-journalists?
I don’t know, at least they didn’t have a camera on them. Though the night that the fire alarm went off at midnight…
No, ten or eleven at night
I can’t believe nobody has done this yet:
IT’S WAKEY!
How about Joyce and Wakey?
That comes later and cost CAD$2 a month.
Hey, at least it’s not yesterday’s strip:
IT’S WANKY
That one is CAD$20 a month.
And is illegal in 20 out of 50 states.
Feck.
Wow, she has the mind of a puppy!
Nothing against Joyce, but she’s due for a rude awakening.
Like she just gave Billie?
I ship it.
Where to?
Anywhere you want.
My doorstep? The front page?
(Sorry, I just noticed the Daisy grav and had to roll with it)
Joyce is climbin’ through your windows and snatchin’ your people up!
hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband because joyce is waking everybody out there!
You live by the leaving your door unlocked like an idiot, you die by the leaving your door unlocked like an idiot.
As brought up in earlier strips, Billie’s room and Joyce’s room are joined by a halfbath. You can only unlock that half-bath from the inside. In order to keep Joyce from entering Billie’s room, Billie would have to lock Joyce’s door to the bathroom. Nobody’s an idiot.
Except the people who designed that bathroom system.
Well, yeah, but that’s a given.
While letting a hole like that exist is reasonable for Billie, after this she should be sticking a chair under the doorknob. There is NO reason to let someone have unfettered access to your room.
But it’s okay if they’re wearing fetters?
Tacky.
Your roommate does. Is letting your suite mates also have it that odd?
In my dorm we did have locks on both sides of the bathroom door, but we rarely bothered.
I basically feel infinitely sorry for Billie right now.
At my dorm, we locked the doors from our room’s side, and KNOCKED before entering.
Less stolen stuff that way.
Having known people to enter friends’ apartments through their fourteenth story balcony window, roof access, or (in one very odd case) foundation, sometimes (rarely, but sometimes) you’re just better off to leave the door open.
Billie and Dorothy are now tied at 64 strips apiece.
Time to change the title graphic?
What are your rules on ties, Mr. Willis?
Make an hybrid of both of them!
composite billie?
Dorothy on one side, Billie on the other, and green skinned? I fully support this idea.
Deathmatch!!!
Only if the game is chess, what with the significant number here being 64.
A chess deathmatch?
Joyce’s face + this music = nothing good

Boundaries Joyce! Boundaries!
Fools! Joyce knows no boundaries!
Boundaries are just an illusion for Joyce.
Doubly so for Ceiling Joyce.
Or of Human Rights.
I for one welcome our new Joyce overlords.
Not funny.
Why, did I give you nightmares?
Wait is she in her own bed?
Yes, and this is the first time she has slept there since school began.
What a whiner. She got like four hours of sleep, minimum. Thats more than a lot of college kids.
I don’t know if I’m a representative sample, but it’s more than I get through most of the semester.
I still wouldn’t react well to that wakeup though. Probably worse than Billie actually. Potentially violently. That’s no way to wake someone up. In fact, why the hell is anyone waking me up anyway? I have an alarm for that.
Fucking people think they can go waking up people. What reason does Joyce even have to be doing this now that we’re talking about it? Does she want to play or something? Does she need something from Billie? Surely it’s not just the principle that someone was sleeping at eight in the morning and thus needed to be awoken.
Guess that’ll be the subject of tomorrow’s update. Oddly enough I’m gonna bet that this gets followed up by “Silly sleepy head. You almost slept past mass. Wouldn’t want to miss that would you?”
Billie could prolly stand to lose some mass anyways…
Why? Cos it seems to me that the fat went straight to her boobs and bootay.
Yeah, and she’s already in shape. Round is a shape.
Actually, the minimum is more than four hours, since she slept while she was in the closet too. Add at least another hour or so of sleeping in the closet, and she’s probably up to a minimum of five hours of sleep, which is something I get by on all the time. Quite likely around seven hours (say approximately 12 – 3 & 4 – 8 with an hour gap in the middle where she had the beers and fumed over Sal), so she shouldn’t be too sleepy once she fully wakes up.
Still, even when you’re well rested, nobody likes being awakened like that.
How very Pinkie Pie-esque of Joyce.
Well, there’s (at least) one significant difference between Pinkie Pie and Joyce.
Pinkie Pie knows when you need a Pinkie Pie party better than you do.
But when Joyce thinks you need a Joyce party, a Joyce party may very well be the last thing you need.
Dude, Pinkie Pie always thinks you need a Pinkie Pie Party. Her social group is consequently comprised of people who can handle a near constant stream of Pinkie Pie Parties.
There is at least one occasion when Pinkie Pie has interpreted basic politeness as a burning need to continue partying and then spent the better part of a day indulging in increasing paranoia about why there wasn’t any partying happening.
The difference between Pinkie Pie and Joyce is that Pinkie Pie knows who her friends are, whereas Joyce thinks everyone is her friend and is equally interested in her Joyce parties.
I think I love you for this.
awwwww yeah
I guess I’m going to have to say it. Panel 4. I never quite noticed it before, but Billie is totes gifted. Those are some rockin tits. They want to escape. They want to be let out.
Jezz, get ahold of yourself.
We’ll wait ’til you’re done.
agreed. and now i’m sad that it’s going to be at least a year before i see billie dressed like that again.
Wow, the name of this arc. Really?
A few days ago I wouldn’t have understood.
In other news, the sun has risen again today!
I can’t completely dismiss the thought that there’s some “Street Fighter: The Movie” reference in the title, knowing that this is Willis.
The song has been endlessly playing in my head all fucking day because of this.
Luckily I can stand it because all the toddler music has made me Immune.
AND OH LOL I AM SAL
Making my comment perfectly surly! Whee!
I don’t know why , but at first I thought Joyce was saying “Walky Walky”. ^_^ … Don’t look at me that way, I make mistakes. Also, Poor Billie, she didn’t get much sleep from the looks of it.
Well, if you replace “neat”, with “creepy”, then Joyce is %100 correct.
Quickly, Joyce, sing, “Morning Has Broken”! It never fails!
How about “Rise and Shine, and give God your Glory Glory!” They sang that at my scout camp!
that song is now in my head. Goddamnit what’s up with me and church songs this week? I haven’t gone to church in 2 years and suddenly it’s all stuck in my head.
the creepiest part of Joyce’s intrusion is how her hair falls BEHIND her eyeballs!
I now am shipping this so hard, but that’s probably nostalgia for occasionally being the drunkenly-waking-Billie in situations like this. Situations like this with added kissing, I mean.
^ Mr. Willis, can tomorrows strip include that last bit?!?
(between panels 2 and 3, cue the Jaws theme)
Billie, if Joyce does this again, the best way to drive her off is to kiss her.
…Really!
I’d pay good money to see that.
Joyce. Boundaries. Learn them.
anyone know why I cannot change my image? I’ve gone to the gravatar website and change it from The Flash to something else but it doesn’t show up….
Your image at the moment is Ruth, is that what you wanted? Also, always choose G rating.
what i see is the flash… i tried to make it shatterglass ravage… and the mike holding a kitten, is it all just random? I’m confused…
So what part of barging uninvited into the room of a perpetually angry and at times violent drunk and forcing them awake loudly seemed like a good idea Joyce?
shes so depressed after the way Sarah treated her that she just wants to end it all
hah! Punch Sal’s lights out. Your a riot Billie.
I dunno, Billie’s actually pretty damn tough, and Sal doesn’t have superpowers in this universe… That might actually be a fight worth seeing.
sal freely enters and exits a 4th story window to get into her room. she doesn’t need super powers. shes this universes batman
GASP! sal is amazi-girl!
What makes us think she ACTUALLY uses this window?
Girl totally just likes a breeze.
YEAH THAT’S GREAT NOW GET THE FLAPJACK OUT OF MY FACE JOYCE YOUR ADORABLY NAIVE PERKINESS IS GIVING ME A HEADACHE.
No that’s the hangover.
….3….2….1
HERE COMES RUTH!!!!!!!!!
Neat?No.Terrifying?Yes.
Billie seems a little chubby to me… I like it.
