All is this thing about??? This too much for Li.
What about, in America this November is like Halloeween? This is very bad time, when birds, wulverines, drinking-cats and werwulves are having coffee?
Li must ask how America thinks up such thing.
What the heck is a breath-airian? Somebody who doesn't eat at all? Like, an anorectic?
Yes and No. They live HEALTHILY on air alone.
I've heard tell of them.
Ah! Li know of this persons. Like popular American song say:
"All I need is air that breath, and love you!!"
Li is such person with Lady-Bride!
Soon, Li not need beline sandwich or beef chow mein, like bad werewulves and coffee-drinking cats.
