Fake-ahontos really thought she could get between me and my blunts!!!! Well I showed that two face what for!!!! the Christmas room was a great twist, and a fantastic reward for smoking up! Honestly, I was scared shitless the whole time! Any game that gives me a good scare, and showed that two faced liar in her true colors, is a big win for me! two out of two tumbs up from this guy! *warning* If you are a snowflake, libtard, or any other "pronoun-prosecutor" this game won't be for you, it tells the truth the whole and nothing but the truth!
