Jobs

Some know me as the moderator/videographer/photographer for BGTGuide and FTN, others know him as "The Resident Stuntman!"

Don't call it that!

edit

I really hate calling Busch Gardens Tampa, or BGT, Busch Gardens Africa, or BGA. The same with Busch Gardens Williamsburg being called Busch Gardens Europe now. The reason why is because that is not their names they are still Busch Gardens Tampa and Busch Gardens Williamsburg!

Another Thing

edit

When you go spelling SheiKra's name, spell it right. Spelling it like this: "Sheikra" is completely wrong. The correct way to spell it is like this: "SheiKra" So please, watch your typing and use the shift key correctly. Thank you
