My Art Direction Is Immaculate

About 5 minutes ago:

Mikey Watson: hurp halo 3
Dan Dickinson: Hurp burp durp
Dan Dickinson: I need to eat my pizza first
Mikey Watson: bullshit
Mikey Watson: eat it on the run, soldier
Dan Dickinson: Not sure if I can. This is some legendary pizza. The stuff of two hands, possibly three.

Dan Dickinson: The guy who made it, he’s like some sort of master chef.

Mikey Watson: We have to stop this.
Mikey Watson: Finish the slice.
