Random slices of crazy pie today–enjoy! **We were watching a taped episode of Cold Case today, where the events of the entire episode actually flashed through Lilly Rush’s head in the space AFTER her car went into the river and BEFORE she was rescued. Big T and I looked at each other and said, “Oh… Read More

OKay–you know it’s bad–know it’s REALLY bad–when you come home and write this: Don’t you love it when you do the reportAnd the teacher says it’s in vain?‘Cause Red Tape is his real courseAnd only sheep are sane.

You look at your TA after viewing seven projects so completely shitacular, that only two of them actually DID WHAT YOU REQUESTED, and ask her, “Do you have any shrooms?” To which she replies, “Cuervo, Ms. Lane. CUERVO. You’ll piss it out in a week and not have to worry about the drug tests.”
