when I ripped through them to stick my penis in her wet vagina

Canuck Hobbes: BY LUKE AND HOBBES
Canuck Hobbes: You seem like a fairly nice guy. It's just the fact that you ignore me

Scene 2

Canuck Hobbes: I think the way Shooters needs to go is hire writters that don't like wrestling and then have them write Raw recaps

yyz Luke: What??
Canuck Hobbes: Well, all these wrestling sites take from the same basic pool of Delphi guys. I say go to the newsboards, the streets, the RTC, people who just post about wrestling and have never wrestled for a site. So many writters have the exact same style now, get writters that don't even visit these sites which forces them to invent a style of their own
Canuck Hobbes: Or something, back to acting weird
Canuck Hobbes: Did I say wrestled for a site? Good fucking god.
yyz Luke: Your suggestion is a good one.
Canuck Hobbes: The only way to protect yourself from Alien abductions is to cover yourself with your own excrement
Canuck Hobbes: Oh sorry, I was trying to send that to someone else

Canuck Hobbes: 18 and I have a girlfriend. I'm not gay, just Lukesexual
yyz Luke: Darn. You're so my type.
Canuck Hobbes: I can break up with her
yyz Luke: You're not related to CRZ by any chance, are you?
Canuck Hobbes: I can be down there in a couple days
yyz Luke: Down where?
Canuck Hobbes: DOWN THERE
Canuck Hobbes: I'd be in your house
Canuck Hobbes: All up in your area
yyz Luke: If I ever caught you in my house there would be No Way Out.

EPILOGUE

Scene 1

Oyuno Media: Hello Luke
yyz Luke: Who is this?
Oyuno Media: Three guesses.
yyz Luke: Yeah, I know the obvious one, but I'm skeptical.
Oyuno Media: And why wouldn't you be? I don't really care at this moment if you believe me or not Luke, we have to talk.
yyz Luke: Ok. Start shooting.
Oyuno Media: As you might have heard I've been having some family problems lately.
yyz Luke: Correct.
Oyuno Media: I was informed this morning that my Grandfather has taken a turn for the worst and I have decided to go down to pay my last respects. No matter what my family thinks
Oyuno Media: Now, in a few days I will be leaving and I will be gone for a few weeks. I'll be putting someone in charge of the site that you are none too fond off. Now Luke, I want you to promise me, no fighting while I am gone. Do NOT take advantage of this situation.
yyz Luke: Whoever you are, this is kinda tasteless and unfunny.
Oyuno Media: Luke, I don't give a damn if you don't believe it's me. I just want your word.
