I’ll never understand why some people have such a hard time being civil to others. I get that some are just racist, shitty, assholes...but I still just don’t get it. Like, why? More often than not, they just seem to get themselves riled up and upset. Makes not one bit of sense.

Ah, I see, THAT’s the deal with airline food.

This is the biggest hit I’ve seen laid on a number 11 who couldn’t handle drinks since Phil Simms.

Thanks for reading! Buy my books!

My dad still lives within a short drive of this place: http://dairystatecheese.com/

Why only fried cheese curds?
