hilarious songs on the fly sung by Rauan, the hilarious trail of food leading to Rauan, yes with a zipper going up his ass, yes with a dewey decimal, yes I heard of Rauan, yes to the unused piano, yes banana, yes tighty whitey, saying yes to Rauan might lead to something hilariously creepy, yes reaper, yes buy it, someone’s dick is breaking, yes really,
