...cream cheese, proper hugging technique, beer cans, Kobe.

Does St. Louis rank as high as it does because of its BBQ? Because I can’t think of any other reason for it to rank higher than Buffalo.

If I catch a bat, am I expected to give it to a kid now? I put my life on the line, all that kid did was cry and piss himself.
