Man. I absolutely HATE that my only option is "heart react". I don't "heart" anybody dieing. I don't "heart" Iran getting another one over on us. I don't "heart" trump acting the fool, again. Please, bluesky, allow me a laugh (sarcastic, cuz you know we all are).

Bout to start yelling bout my viking heritage cuz of a ballgame I usually kind of scoff at (every footie game I've seen has grown men crying about getting bonked on the head or broken gazelle knees). Gooooo Norway!
