David happy Obama president now, but Boris not. Me liked
John. Me

that way. Booga-booga. Don't you think?
Boris like Flight of Conchords very much. So happy new
season begin. Me laugh lagoon water out nose when they
sing this song last Sunday. Now I think about it, Jemaine look little
like me. If I shave beard and keep sideburns, it will be spitting image.
Speaking music, David's friend give David acoustic guitar.
When he play remind me of birds choking on bird seed. One day me smash
guitar with club. It will be best sound come from that thing.

Abraham Lincoln carried letters and bills
