$50 million? Should be a basic condition for graduating any US high school, and any journalist who can’t nail all 50 should be fired and deported by trebuchet

you all need more Cherry Wainer in your lives
The Strawberry Alarm Clock says time to wake up

I'm no marketing expert, but I'm not sure VASECTOMY MAYHEM is the best urology clinic branding strategy
Try to imagine lying down on a paper covered padded table, everything but your junk masked off, and the doctor bursts in with a WWE entrance, swinging a chainsaw in the dry ice and strobe lights

How it started How it's going
Look, if I'm a dog at an animal shelter, thinking my troubles are over because I'm going to a new home, and the first thing that happens when I get there is getting my tail yanked by some naked wet old guy, don't tell me not to bite everything in sight
