Thankfully I managed to build up an impressive amount of debt again in no time.

1) Sleep 'til I ain't tired

Stand in the sun 'til I ain't pale

Um...dude. It's not like I have a lot of room to criticize here, but...are you sure you're the right person for this?

Also, do you go for full-on ain't-paleness or do you settle for the farmer's tan?

You really SHOULD become a billionaire now, because then we could all base fictional characters on you and your ice palace!
