I'm rooting for you and Pete Carroll to wind up sharing a cell in a Turkish prison. Is that wrong?

Matter of fact, much as these people like to rape(even raped retarded women when they invaded Cyprus,) that Mineshaft horse "Shafted" might be a natural for them. Gunna have to do better than he did in that Lewis Stakes though.
