This is the first HP40 ROCKS ever
held.
To the BoulderBoys: The gals will fall at your
feet when you tell them that you were at the first HP40 ROCKS....
To the BoulderBabes: Well, what can I say? The guys are already
falling at your feet, right? When you stop laughing at them for falling in the first place, just lightly step around
them and show them how it's done. A little emotional scarring will help their egos mature.
Years from now when someone says to you: "I didn't make it to the very first HP40 ROCKS..."
You can say to them:
'BWAHAAHAAHAHAHA!!!.. You LOSER!!!! "
DO NOT MISS THIS EVENT !!
You'll never forgive yourself if you do !!
I'm serious !!
The depression alone could wreck your life !!
We will be setting up a suicide hotline for those unfortunate
LOSERS who FAIL to make it to this very first event.
But they really shouldn't depend on us for psychological help, cause we are pretty doggone crazy ourselves!!!
Not to mention that we are a bit unsympathetic
anyway since we did offer everyone this superb chance to attend.
Don't waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
There will never be another HP40 ROCKS 2010 !!
