He&#8217;ll know if the guy&#8217;s gay.<\/p>\n<p>Brian listens to the message and then starts cracking up, throwing the phone back to her. &#8220;That&#8217;s <em>Colin<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Remember Colin and his raging boots from a few posts ago? Dude, he&#8217;s most definitely some beautiful-black-but-psychotic stalker.
