Hey, your name, you choose. I'll call ya whatever ya want.

[ProbablyClueless]

If we’re being honest, if I can’t say “you” to a group of people without them knowing who I’m talking to; are we really friends?

[Staximus]

Yeah, I always think "just pick a fucking last name already"

[dustybiker2]

I have bigger problems.

[exitseven]

[beefcakebradybatson]
