rog: ouma's the only one that can beat winky right now

Sugarshay: Ouma couldn’t beat Winky at checkers

Sugarshay: Joey sat on Gary’s lap

Sugarshay: Why Gary didn’t ask me to sit on his lap :(

oakman: Judah has beat a distracted Corey Spinks and  nobody else. Most overrated fighter in the world. Mayweather buries him.

Sugarshay: I wanna evict Mayweather out of Vegas

Sugarshay: Time to go buddy, you out done ur welcome

Sugarshay: time to bounce Floyd

Sugarshay: We aint got no love for Mayweather in Vegas

may: the girls love mayweather in vegas

Sugarshay: please, if they love to get beaten

oakman: Shay when you see PBF, you tell him you have no love for him. No way you do it.
