“Here come the jesters, 1 2 3.
It’s all part of my fantasy”
Rock and Roll Fantasy - Bad Company
ummm…jesters? Naked, female jesters, maybe. Who the hell has fantasies about jesters?!
in a completely unrelated note: I’m sitting in the car with Sammy and I heard a noise that sounded like my front-passenger speaker was blown…and then I […]
