Also Kinja is extra shitty today. Great job, Kinja Ernie.

I don’t think I’ve noticed hot dogs coming in packs of 8, because the hot dogs I buy aren’t absolute shit like Oscar Mayer. Nathan’s and Sabretts come in 8-packs, Hebrew Nationals come in 7-packs (how are you going to work with that one?), and Oscar Mayers taste like ass.

On the one hand, he’s a fraud, he’s always been a fraud, anybody within 100 miles of NYC or Atlantic City at the very least has known he was a fraud since the 80s, so fuck that guy.

I thought they were casting someone famous for criminal roles as... I don’t know, maybe the Bloody Baron or someone?

Hrm.

I’m down for that. Give ‘em the old eternal flame treatment too.

I say rip the whole damn bandage off at once — just tear down every confederate statue overnight and recast them into millions of commemorative figurines of Muhammad Ali, but I’m tired and cranky.

Well, yes, I do want The Root to stay strong, so you’re welcome.
