The darkest part of my mind is reserved to The Beast. We could tell you a thing or two about The Beast. You should pray that you never have to see The Beast. This one is called The Beast. And I said, 'Get you hands off my balls, Beast!' He may have told you some stories about his great battle with The Beast. Yeah, oh, 'I fought The Beast on a cliff.' Oh... 'I fought The Beast in a swamp.' 'One time I fought The Beast in the toilets of a night club.' Difficult battle. I hope you never see The Beast.

What are you biding on?
