He may in fact, be a literal bum, only able to make himself known to us here by occasionally stopping into dark internet cafes to make a few quick, frantic posts before the owners force him to leave because of the stench of rotting vegetables and desperation wafting forth from his pores.

Don't just eat a mushroom stem and see colors, eat the whole bag and see God one time in your life. A real God!

Everytime you deny your own logic, deny your own instincts, you deny your own God you fucking moron. - Doug Stanhope

Yes, you could, because even if you halve the size seven times, because it's large and thin you could fold it an extra couple times. I'm talking really big though.
