Happy Birthday Justin! To help you celebrate, I'd like to order 100 pairs of 009s, please. Shipping is to Macchu Picchu and can I assume that payment in bitcoins will be OK?
Having watched lions kill things in the wild, including many baby antelope, I can tell you that that big cute kitty would have taken her head off like a grape and then settled down to leisurely pull the intestines out through her neck. Don't particularly enjoy the mental picture.
