"I wanna rough, I wanna tumble, I wanna do it till my belly rumbles"
"Nation against nation, LIKE PLANETS THEY COLLIDE"
"So many bombs in the world it's like a livin' mine!"

There was a big argument on GUT about what Stay Another Day was actually about once. It featured the resident nymphomaniac village idiot insisting it was about a girlfriend. FOOL.
