If You Meet The Buddha On The Road, Kill Him. Then raise him as one of the undead before calming him with the sweet sounds of Cher.

Came here to post this.

"Thought content normal"?

What are they?! The THOUGHT POLICE?!

This is a good joke.

So dedicated to the cause that she poasted even when no one was watching!
