    bitches and bling were never part of the four elements and never will be.

    Ah, I forgot where I was, hang on

    Thou shalt not quote me happy.
    Thou shalt not shake it like a polaroid picture.
    Thou shalt not wish your girlfriend was a freak like me.
    Thou shalt spell the word "Pheonix" P-H-E-O-N-I-X
    not P-H-O-E-N-I-X, regardless of what the Oxford English Dictionary tells you.
    Thou shalt not express your shock at the fact that
    Sharon got off with Brad at a club last night by saying "Is it".
    Thou shalt think for yourselves.

    And thou shalt always...
    Thou shalt always kill! Writer/s: DANIEL STEPHENS, DAVID MEADS
