In fact, I am so middle class my wife rides a pony to work.
 
I am so middle class that our dishwasher is a Bosch - a charming little women from Germany who we pay minimum wage

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Half the people on this forum were either not born, or were too young to remember.
