How excited should we be?
Ho hum.
1000 airs, maybe a sucky tube or two, heaps of obrigado de deus’ing.
At least we got Joao.
He will go ham.
He told Stab previously this is an event he was incredibly excited for.
Pity it won’t be twenty-five foot because he would still be going ham.
Here is the forecast.
Hey at least this will be over quickly.
