i don't agree he's an anti-hero but i do agree he's greatest ever

if becoming a jelly sandwich has given you licence to succumb to your baser instincts and project into fictional trysts and affairs, go with god and be happy.

Right now fisting Smurfette is about as plausible to you as having sex with a woman in the missionary position. I can't even tell you how many times I fantasise about banging women I meet but never will.

I saw it in London. It was good. I dread going to musicals because they always go for too long and become boring. Wicked was a good length so I wasn't sitting there rolling my eyes.
