Re: I'm laughing ALOT

    Geeze, is this the best you can do? I have seen better retorts from six-
    year-olds.

    I want a super bird, too! Get me the email of that breeder! It would be
    awesome to have a fully trained bird hatch straight from the egg that
    is immortal and impervious to all danger, and you would be able to take
    them outside without worries of them flying away! All you would have to
    do is stay away from the krypotonite.
