” And fer fucks sake. How many times do I have to tell you all I am a middle aged fat guy before you fucking believe me? ”
It seems to me that a Mr. Cole posted a pic of a very dashing and sexy young action hero tank crewman. Was the same Cole, as far as I know. That will always be the one true Cole in my mind. (a manly safe hug, you big hunk, and goodnight)
