Well, my smiles and rainbows and sunshine are fantastic. So fantastic, in fact, that they laugh gleefully at your st00pid weather until it cries and shrinks away. then the happy goblins come out and sing songs to you, specifically Shakira songs. all night long. it's a goddamn utopia over here, or else. whaddyou got, punk?
