Mayor Larry Vaughn, doing the very best he can.

You think it's easy being mayor to this inbred bunch of lunatics? Let's see you explain to that battle-axe at the motel she has to cancel her 4th of July bookings. Tell Harry the Hat he's gonna be on the welfare all winter. You wouldn't last five minutes, Mr. Hooper, with your soft, city hands.

I hope this doesn't interfere with the fish fry.

In 1993 I was happy because my divorce became final.

I can think of thirteen Americans whose deaths would probably spare an awful lot of lives.

Chrissy Iley: The method haircut that won an Oscar Chrissy Iley The killer bob modelled by Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men was so repulsive, so overwhelming, it seemed to me that it was the haircut that won the Oscar for best supporting actor

Eighteen years ago, The Guardian thought it was a good idea to use a 128x128 icon as the photo for an article about Anton Chigurh's Academy Award winning haircut. Hard to believe.

There's an episode of Law & Order that addresses this being a derogatory term used by the cops, usually when one gay lover kills another. The episode aired maybe thirty years ago, no idea if that's even still a thing. Just thought I'd mention it.

If you mean something like a little dollar bottle of detergent that per unit costs five times what a jug would, that goes back to the Boots Theory. Now that shrinkflation and skimpflation have entered the arena, it's all the more maddening.

McDonald’s Is Launching Menu Items For $3 Or Less, Report Says The push for value and discounted items comes as McDonald’s and other fast food chains have lost or tried to maintain lower-income customers.

Hoping this is actually a good thing and not just McDonald's trying to rip us off with math. For example, currently on the 'buy one add one for a dollar' menu, you can get two McDoubles for like $5. So unless things are significantly less than $3, this is gonna suck.

If we lived in a country where talking to someone about anything was an option for most people, we probably wouldn't be in this mess.
