You rock Mr. Reid!
Oh and I love V for Vendetta. The masked guy is just a little bit messed up, though.

Mr. Reid, I think it would be a swell idea if you grow out your beard. You could hide pencils in it and stuff like that. Then you could put gel in it for crazy hair day. I have a ton of ideas, but I don’t have the time to say them all. So if you consider my idea, I’ll tell you my other ideas.

Mr Reid, dont listen to Tyler, growing a beard is not a good idea. You could poke your chin if you hide pencils in it!

Mr Reid, what would you feel as you were flying and looking down? Exhilaration? Superiority (lol)?

It sure is a good thing you read us the Zombie Emergency Procedure or whatever it’s called. In tough times, people become __________ [fill in the blank and use your imagination (or what little we have!)].
