And if so, are you some kind of robot? And if so, what kind of powers do you have? Do you use them for good, or for awesome? Would you like to join forces? I just happen to be the greatest criminal mind of our time. ''{types "—Strong Bad" and then stops typing}'' Okay, until next time. Keep sending me your questions, and I will make fun of you... I mean, answer them. |
