You know, I shouldn’t be shocked by this anymore, but I still am. I love the niche markets that some spammers go after.
Subject: I know what ladies do on a farm. DO NOT leave them there unattended!

Everything I needed to learn in life I learned from Pop songs

The Bloodhound Gang was right, getting your Waffle House hash browns smothered1 and covered2 is the way to go. (See The Bad Touch.)
In any case, being in Nashville this weekend has allowed me to go to a Waffle House sober for the first time. Since I am a big fan of greasy food, [...]

Today’s phrase that should die
6/22/2005 – 12:39 pm
