Oh my god, it's not like I said ANYTHING about you wanting to BRONZE Sebastien's shoes? And he has weird feet. It's like this, OK, you loved Richard Gere in "An Officer and and Gentleman", right? Well, it's kinda like that. Except without the subtle gay subtext. Well, you did make me eat kale. KALE. *looks meaningfully at 1/2 empty plate* I could just get a Veritech fighter. 1/60 scale.
