CleanGSR Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 No, there were 57 different reasons for being from Miami. I think what S14Silvia is saying is that this is one of the "57" threads that caused such a stir when Dragongyrl posted them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joecollins2 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Don't tell me she posted a different thread for each one? This thread as a whole sucked ass. If I made the sad mistake of reading 57 different threads, and realized what i did, I would have no choice but to put a bullet in my head!!!
