Happy Birthday, Betty!

Happy Birthday Josh!!
Happy Birthday Bertone!
… Poor Wendy. When Bertone sees this, she may end up a widow!
@#11
I don’t even think he’d give her the pleasure of “angry sex”!
Ah-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaa! Happy Birthday Bertone!
Perfection.
Happy B-Day to Bertone!
Happy Birthday!!
@11, I guess that means you have a secret crush on OMD 😉
Happy Birthday Bertone and BD that pic is gold…nice work!
Happy Birthday, Bertone. Thank you for everything you do for the site. Your articles and opinions are always fun to read/listen to. I hope you have a wonderful day, and take care of yourself. 🙂
Happy Birthday Bertone!
Happy Birthday!
I’ve always thought that Bertone’s pathological hatred of Betty masked a deep seated sexual, and ultimately unfulfilled, longing that could only be expressed by hatred. Sort of like teasing the girl you have a crush on it elementary school by saying she has kooties.
XD you gotta use that for your profile picture in everything now. Happy B-Day!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BERTONE!!!
Hey your secret dream of getting a kiss from Betty came true! Happy Birthday man!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Bertone ^_^

Happy birthday Bertone! Hope lots of irony is in your future!
Happy birthday
