Somebody needs to send Moammar some new TV shows.  He looks like he just stepped off the set of Miami Vice.  Which one of those ribbons is for getting his ass kicked back in 1986?  What a fuck'n chump.

Pretty soon, if you can afford it, you'll go in around 40 and have your body rebuilt. Kinda like the 70k miles tune up.
I could use a new right ankle and some knees.

I'm waiting!

Ka-Bump!

Is that a reference to J-Lo's butt? [;)]

I believe that would be a Ka-SLAP!

I would Ka-Hump J-Lo's butt [sex] [:D]
