I drank what?
Yeah, 30 GB of Kool-Aid. And God help me, it tastes sweet. Oh, and we got one of these to go with it.
It’s that time of year again.
Yes, time for the moronic, NASCAR-addicted, Budweiser-swilling, vernacular-challenged denizens of my little bit of Frednecksburg to spoil the holiday spin-up by letting off noisemakers all night every night for two weeks surrounding the Glorious Fourth. I’m actually starting to hope some fingers fly this year. How sad to be yearning …
