Session603 (Jun 30, 2010 at 19:30)

cool, pros wear skinny jeans. it's too bad your dad molested you. Then you could have had a real role model. Oh well, keep listening to emo and wearing girls clothes. Oh, and you suck at downhill.

and i think you may have been molested by your dad and have a problem with incest judging by all of your comments on other stuff

Session603 (Jun 30, 2010 at 20:07)

yeah I was molested a lot, until i was 22, by an entire rugby team. That's how I became so tough. AND in case your retarded little mind forgot... I "chirped" you (I guess that makes sense in ontario) because you talk sh*t about downhill like your opinion counts. Keep listening to good charlotte and cutting yourself for attention.

brett236 (Jun 30, 2010 at 20:14)

Session603 (Jun 30, 2010 at 20:32)

I would never play rugby. Apparently you struggle with the concept of sarcasm, not a big shocker seeing how you live in Ontario. I bet you played a lot of rugby because you love touching sweaty dudes. I know this because you wear skinny jeans. Go wear some more womens clothing. I bet you look great in a sundress.

Session603 (Jul 1, 2010 at 10:47)

Hey Brett, go back to your Ontario schools because YOU'RE (it's a contraction for "you are") terrible at using the english language. "your" represents ownership. Must be that Ontario inbreeding.

DJProdigy.. you have a good sense of humor.. but there is nothing cool about cross dressing.

+ 2

DJPrOdigy (Jul 1, 2010 at 10:59)

Thankyou for your appreciation of my sense of humour. I like skinnys. Not for riding though. Shorts/baggy jeans are pure awesome for riding.

Also to Brett, you said a few comments up: "your a pussy because youre a downhiller", I think The Athertons would kick your arse at just about anything. It must be freaky having a sister who is also your mother. Confused

Webbed feet?

Hey brett, along with the pathetic attempt at spelling and grammar, you also have no idea what the US or the UK flag look like. DJProdigy is clearly not from the states. May god bless England... our BEST allies. Oh and God Bless Canada too, but definitely not Ontario. Someone should nuke that retard factory.

Session603 (Jul 1, 2010 at 14:22)
