work like a showdog / max glamour

 gait home / become one w ur potato

*

   landmine of rotten apples / bespoke suits

   kaput / but the upshot / backpacking

*

fast-forward a bit / blah blah blah but

      epitome of cute / be cool be cool be cool

*

   maintain eye contact when shook A F

   by the zero situationally aware folks

*

   morbidly bristly / bitter and violated /

   like you pulled down my pants in public

*

    hard times create strong men create good

   times / create weak men create hard times

*

   pleasantly appalled / love-killing machine

   / big joints redux / safe is sexy
