Here's a reminder: Never get anywhere near Drax when you're drunk and messing around because you're probably on tape!

I can't believe you put that on your edit :)

see you in-world you evil, I'll never be able to be in real life anymore!!!

[draxtordespres]

Fab, we all have evil in us, but only a FEW have talents like your twin, who sings Barry White sooo beautifully! and what is the big deal with REAL LIFE anyhow? let's abandon it RIGHT NOW! keep the mission on track [paraphrasing Philip, August 15th, Grand Ballroom, Westin St. Francis]
