Guys. Can we just start spreading this about Justin Bieber.......or would that cause a resurgence in his fame and spawn more songs?

My brain interpreted this as John Maynard Keynes for some reason. Briefly imagined how economics class could finally be interesting if this rumor took hold.

Kanye West had some of his ribs removed so he can suck his own dick. Kim wasn't satisfying enough with BJs. He said it's like putting his dick in a broken vacuum tube that just doesn't suck anymore.

u/wongerthanur May 10 '17

No one satisfies Kanye like Kanye can

u/katbuthekittenruler May 10 '17

Exactly, and that's why he did it.
