3 Comments:
1. Mike Tyson and prison: a perfect match.
2. Which veggie burger is worth the nausea and diarrhea?
3. What would journalists do without news writers?
4. Huntin' sober's like drivin' sober.
5. NOT a trivial cause!
6. Karl's going to "squeeze one" in Mr. Whipple's honor.
7. Hopefully NOT part of the Topless Swedish Women campaign.
8. Jeffrey Dahmer, sausage maker?
1) Mike Tyson wearing pink slippers and handcuffs (and apparently underwear). It makes life worthwhile....
