I am the only one that believes that guys and girls should be together and that babies should be made the pen*s vag*na way. The old way. These guys are trying to create some weird wacky, maybe the pen*s in the butt will get a kid, I don't know. I don't think that works. Mark: What? Tom: No, don't come here and try to act like your heterosexual!
Tom: I came up with a little formula, if you write songs about girls you get girls at show. We write a lot of songs about girls.
Tom: For me, sex with a girl is a race to orgasm, and I am undefeated.
Tom: Most people think we're just like this onstage, but we talk about poop all the time.
