LOL Hey Yellow: the guys a club boy, not an academic. At least he knew the word existed. LOL
Heart him.
Adam corrected himself, right afterwards. Could've been a typo, YellowRanger. I make lots of typos, too and I have a college education. Part of being human, I suppose.
FYI: Adam's album shot up to number one !!! on Amazon's sales, ahead of even This Is It. A gain of 700 % before the album cover. Guess we know now which Adam they prefer. Laugh My F*cking Ass Off !!!
Any gay who was laughing AT Adam rather than with him really needs to go back to camp camp. Shame on you, Queerty, for getting caught ought being po-faced and humourless.
