The media was notified. Phone numbers were exchanged. Papers were faxed. Interviews were given. Pictures were taken. A WYSIWYG Talent Show was attended. A crif dog was eaten.
It's only a matter of time now. Promise you'll look out for me in the news?
If you're asking yourself, "For what?" read my last post.

FAGGOT!
Well it looks like Kevin up there may have a future in law enforcement.
Sorry dude - the price of fame means dealing with freaks suffering from insecurity issues deperate to make a statement to hide their smallness.
That poor guy - I'm embarrased for him, He can spend the rest of his life trying to be something but will never be a tiny portion of the man you that are Jase.
Oh - it was only Kevin - duh - um - nevermind.
I didn't recognize the name at first.
Kevin might be a freak, but in a good way.
That poor guy I'm embarrassed for wound up being me.
*blush*

Go Jason!
Jase is fighting the man and Aaron just LJLectured me. The world truly has gone mad :)
hahahah... says there you were sitting on the ground. now, you wouldn't be lying to us, would you?
hahahah...
Way to go, Jase!
Here's my favorite part of the second story:
"If there's some lack of clarity in the signage we can suggest perhaps that the enforcement be easier if the signage is better."
Um, perhaps this guy shouldn't be in charge of suggesting clearer language?
OMG, Can I get like your autograph? ;-p
lol - I am glad you stuck up for your rights!
So glad it was dismissed!
Did you ever get an apology?
