>Every succesful Balkan male
these successful Balkan males you speak of [including your father]
are but short fat family men
>over 40 suffers from high blood
>pressure and some sort of a heart problem, including my dad and,
family men eat + drink + dress as `pigs` because they are terrible lovers.
>evidently, Slobodan Milosevic. I believe
`pigs` are cowards.
cowards choose duty over love.
allora - 01 amalgam of naaaaaaaasssssstttty terribly dressed short fat ugly mafiosi.

your father - lard + wine
you - health club
