Did Somebody Say McFire Suppressant?
If you’re enough of a cheap ass to argue with the drive through lady about how expensive McDonald’s cheeseburgers are, why would you A: burn gas driving away and coming back and B: waste the contents of a perfectly good fire extinguisher? Those things cost money too, you know. Kimberly Friend claims that the suspects …
Landlords Are Shit
No, not all of them. Calm down. But these jagoffs who are refusing to apply for the government’s rent relief programs to help struggling tenants can feel free to rot in whatever murky evils lurk underneath hell. I get it. Nobody likes a hit to their bottom line. But stop and do the math, guys. …

A Sweep Of The Area Eventually Turned Up The Correct Victim
I’m not here to judge anybody (Who am I kidding?). I’m merely here to point out that if you’re going to hire a couple of guys to break into your house to act like home invaders that want to tie you up and stroke you with a broom while you’re wearing only underwear, that maybe …

How Many Naked, Drunken Burglars Does It Take To Unscrew Some Light Bulbs?

Big Red Marks
There’s only one thing about any of this here that surprises me. They still make Big Red? I remember having some when I was maybe 10 years old on a visit to Michigan, but I don’t think I’ve thought or heard about it since. Nice to hear it’s still around. It was decent enough, as …
