10 years ago today, two golden retrievers named Rex and Ginger had a litter of puppies. Sadly, Ginger passed after giving birth to the last puppy. Said last puppy was a clumsy girl who loves to eat. I know this … Continue reading Scott OT #153: The Night Thread of Sally’s Birthday (12/8)
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate drops tomorrow and it’s literally all I can think about. It’s amazing that every shitpost I made the past few days isn’t about that game. (motherfucking Ridley is in it!)
