It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
“Here we go!” my mom said excitedly as we all sat down for dinner this past weekend.
“Whaddya mean ‘here we go’?” I asked.

“What does the bill usually [...]
Did Joe Scarborough Murder Lori Klausutis? Reflections of a Guilty Conscience

Nebraska Cat Bong
Back in my stoner days (whaddya mean “back”, skwire, you ain’t kidding anyone!), my buddy Paul and i would sneak behind my parents’ garage to get high, inevitably followed by the family dog Bo, who enjoyed getting a faceful of exhaled dank.
