5 reasons real life should be like Fable II...

And a 50 mile sprint wouldn't even put a dent in that extra flab. All baked goods would have to come bundled with additional celery as part of a government health guideline.


No matter who you were chatting up, everyone in the vicinity would think you were talking to them
