Bayezid kind of reminds me of Jack from the movie of the same name with Robin Williams as the titular character.

Another way for thrice to show off. I can’t imagine that rice is much better than any other.

I’ve heard of progeria, but Bayezid must have an especially bad case to look old at 4.

Who would want to GROW a dandelion? I find that they make a very pleasing sizzle when used hot cooking grease is poured on them! Though not very effective – a week later a new one grows out of the grease spot.
