Yer a Wee Clueless Deck

Vin just pointed out that the Cobra-Daa video from 1999 is now on You Tube. Cobra was a volatile Scottish Quake player. Daa was an annoying young Irish Quake player who brought out the worst in people, and liked to wind up Cobra. This is Cobra’s attempt at intimidating Daa:

The Wicker Man (2006)

Next up, I went to see the stupidest motherfucking movie of all motherfucking time. I thought it was great. Most recently, an office team-building [...]
