Secrets of a New Found Diva

For quite awhile now, I have been in a bit of a rut and I knew I needed something new and different. One day I came across a reality show that I swore I wasn't going to watch, but like several shows in my life, this one grew on me. The Real Housewives of Atlanta introduced the world to one of the funniest, crass, down to earth "housewives" ever. Not only is she full of energy, she has one of the best hairstyles that I've ever seen in my life. I knew what I had to do. I began research unbeknownst to many of my friends and then I did a little legwork which brought me to one of the best Hair Salons in DC.After a lengthy consultation with a very informative and skillful stylist, I committed to this new project. Unfortunately, I had to wait 3 whole weeks for my transformation. The anticipation was killing me. I woke up on December 17th like a 5 year old does on Christmas! I jumped out of bed got in the shower ready to get a new look!! Then the phone rang. My Fairy Godmother and her Lovely Latina Apprentice informed me that the hair didn't arrive and we needed to reschedule. And just like a 5 year old on Christmas that didn't get any presents, I held my head down and moped for an hour! Then, the phone rang AGAIN!! It was a beautiful voice telling me the hair came and now it was game on. I pulled myself together and ran down the street.

Many of my sisters out there may think it treasonous for what I am about to show you, but I had a great experience and I want to share it with my peeps.

My hair was colored and blow dried
Then braided to create a canvas where a piece of art will evolve. Better known as tracks.



Next, my new hair was sewn in.



After 4 hours the masterpiece was complete. These are the ladies who made it all happen. Thank you Fairy Godmother and Princessa Venezuela!!
Yes Ma'am. Sister is goin out TONIGHT!!!

Jesus' Birthday Month Day 7

Holiday season is upon us, so instead of the normal Sunday Funday I came to 1532 and cooked Point Pusher meals with KCC while Blackjack trimmed the tree. It's a fierce fabulous festive tree and if you look close enough you may find a feline creature lurking about acting like a present.

LL in 'da House!

You can't tell from the picture, but I am at the early show at the 8:15 Bar enjoying, yes Enjoying, the Loretta Lynn concert. She's such a cute sassy old woman. Reminds me of my Gramma. Jesus rest her soul. Music is great and her vintage gown with rhinestones make the experience that much more Grand Ol' Opryish. I do have to quote my friend KCC though " You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a homo" Dude, it's gayer than gay in this trailer. Where are my hot redneck straight boys? Ya'll think I came here for the talent?

Turkey Day 2K8

Editor's Note: Pictures to be posted soon. I took tons of pictures from my phone, but it is a tedious process getting multiple phone pics on line. For now, this one sums up the satisfying evening

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year. It is a time when we reflect upon our lives and think about what we are thankful for. Or we can see it for what it really is; the pilgrims pillaged and raped the indigenous peoples of the Americas and later called it a celebration of peace. I will take the former just so I can have an excuse to eat delicious decadent treats.

Which brings me to my next point. I am so thankful to have such wonderful gracious friends. I am even more grateful that all of them have cooking skills. That proves beneficial on days like this, when some of us are not able to get to (or want not to get to) our families for a 4 day weekend.

Kansas City Chief and Blackjack have hosted a dinner for the past few years. But really just a venue for all of us to show off our kitchen masterpieces and it has been a fantastic time each year. KCC brines and cooks the fresh bird from the local farm; Blackjack makes a fantastic seasonal stuffing with sausage, cranberries and apples. They leave the rest to us:

As stated earlier, KCC brined a turkey with my favorite herb rosemary, it was one of the most perfectly cooked turkeys I've ever had. He also made a Brown Butter and Shallot Mashed Potato that was to die for. Who knew mashed taters could ever be so damned tasty.

The Garden District, in true form, provided a decadent Gnocchi with brown butter, parmesan cheese and bacon. Pardon me while I wipe the drool off of my keypad.

Southern Belle Bee prepared in house a dish of Kale, Smoked Bacon and Cranberries. He also contributed a yummy Pumpkin-Ginger Pie for desert.

Ya'll know I had to keep it real and represent with the Soul Food sides: Macaroni & Cheese, Collard Greens and a Sweet Potato Casserole, half topped with marshmallows and the other half topped with a toasted butter coated pecan topping (shout out to RSVP)

The piece day resist tahnce belongs to Sophia Spinelly, who provided a Cooking Light Corn Pudding that may put some Southern natives to shame and a Bourbon-Pecan Tart that would make Paula Deen do a jig. It was topped with a Maker's Mark Hand Whipped Cream that I might be spooning as I type. MMMMMMM! So goood.

We worked off our night by playing "Trailer" (formerly called Parlour) Games but not before Sophia took a quick break (pictured above).
Blackjack's co-worker, Sid, and his beautiful wife, Nancy, were brave enough to stop by and participate in the reindeer games. Sorry Blackjack, I hope you still have a job by Monday; or at least co-workers that still respect you.

But really, this has to be one of my most favorite T-Days by far. It might surpass the one when I was 20 and finally stood up to my older cousin who used to tease me as a kid cause she thought I acted too white. Kids say the darndest things...

The Return of PollyAnnie

She's baaaaack!! And in full force too. After somewhat of a tumultous tenure at the 703 location, she finally threw in the towel and told Frank's Fish House to stick it where the sun don't shine. Unbeknownst to her Frank's Fish Hut is a Black Hole. One can try to escape but you will get sucked, better yet, vortexed back in. I'm super happy she's back. When we saw each other it was like Nettie and Celie once again reunited after Mister separated them in The Color Purple. Sisters fo' eva and eva! Glad your back girl!

Point Pushers Week #5

I know this is boring, but I made a commitment and I am going to stick to it, for now. This weeks Point Pushers update is brought to you by Kansas City Chief. He went recipe free this week and we made some fantastic meals; Lasagna, Chicken Curry and even Burritos!! Yes, my friends I said it Burritos, low point Burritos!!! This hermana can't be happier.

Neither one of us lost any weight last week, but we both agree that we feel better and we see some sort of loss, despite what the scale says. Either way, I'm super excited for food this week. Now I have to start planning for next week. KCC is a competitive person so wether or not I like it, I have been challenged to come up with tasty low point treats. I'm pretty sure I can make a fabulously healthful tuna casserole. He'll definitely like that for sure!

Beach House Slumber Party

RSVP and Peanut graciously invited us to Peanut's family beach house in Stone Harbor, NJ. Since the season is over they figured it would be ok to make time for there C-List friends. We had a grand time playing games, cooking and strolling the beach in the nearly deserted town. It was awesome. KCC and I secretly made RSVP an early birthday cake in front of his face and he didn't even know about it until we surpised him at dinner. Thanks boys I had fun. More thanks to Peanut for pretending to like me while we played Scrabble. You know the game where Blackjack got 50 pts for SILICON? See you back on the streets of DC.

BFF's

I love my friends. I really really do. And it warms my heart even more when they show their love by giving me flowers. But when my Bestie thinks it's cute to present me with flowers in a lovely vase (pronounced vaaas) filled with a heavanly botanical mixture of Jack Daniels and Diet Coke I get a little perterubed. Especially since I was sippin' on it. Mexi' I love you with all my heart and I appreciate you wanting to express our everlasting friendship to the world but if you eva, eva, eva, f*uck with my drink again, you might find yo' self by yo' self; fell out in an ally cut up with razor blades and sprinkled with lemon juice... Love you Girl, mean it!

YES WE DID!!!

AH-MAY-ZING!!! America, you have your First New Black President!! What are you going to do now?! I am so full of emotion, awe, and amazement that I don't even know what to do. I am witnessing history right now. At 11:00pm EST, CNN Projected that Barack Obama was the new Presidential Elect!!! I literally went outside and ran the streets when they made the announcement (at the same time screaming into the phone to my Mom). I went out and fist bumped people, hugged strangers and thanked random folk for doing their part. People were so welcoming and so excited. I feel so blessed, privileged and lucky to be part of this historical moment. The picture above does not do this moment justice. This is a 3 block stretch of U Street where everyone is celebrating. 40 years ago there were riots in this same exact spot. I don't even want to think about what would have happened if he lost. Thanks for Barakin' the Vote Ya'll. See you in Disneyland Beeznatches!!!

Point Pushers Week #3

This weeks Point Pushers update has been pre-empted by Glamazon's new bling. She and her friend Madge (pronounced Maaadgeh) are here from She-Kaah-Go because they want to be here when 'IT' all happens. And by 'IT' I mean Obama winning. Anyway, my point is my girl's man just put a ring on her finger and we are very happy for her. This picture does not do this rock justice. I couldn't turn on the flash cause then you would all be blind. I'm still wearing shades it's so bright.

P.S. I gained 0.8 lbs KCC lost 3. I hate boys.

10 Pounds or Bust!!

Kansas City Chief and I have finally come to terms with ourselves and signed up for "Point Pushers", a very popular and reputable weight loss program. This is our second go around on this program but our first attempt as restaurant people. Scheduling and planning can be more of a challenge that way. We think we have combated this by cooking all of our meals for the week on Monday (Weigh-in day). This is week 2 and we both had great success, I lost a whopping 3.4lbs and he lost 5!! We spent about 8 hours cooking 7 meals today and divided them up by portions into easy take along containers that we can reheat during the day. Wish us luck and I will keep you posted with the boring details.

Now, if I could just get that running thing down...

Stars and Bars and Mimosas

Going for a change of pace this Sunday Funday. I'm here with The Corleone's, Blackjack, Kansas City Chief and Special. We are brunching at a chain restaurant and one or two of us might be drinking a FROZEN beverage (I'm not judging I'm sticking to the tried and true; even though the bartender put ice in my Mimosa!) It's a biker brunch. We all rode here with the intention of a cardio crawl. It was downhill here so it's going to be an interesting ride back. Special stole her man's bike and she found a helmet. It's a good thing too because she fell at the stoplight. RSVP just found time in his schedule to join us so I should stop blogging and pay attention. To be continued.

Big Daddy B's Brand New Ride

BEFORE
Many of you may not know this, but my father is a very frugal man. He has driven this truck (pictured above), and a red one in a similar condition, since I have known him; that is a very long time. Let me explain this condition, because although a picture may speak a thousand words, It cannot truly tell you that this spray painted, rusted out, 10MPG hooptie was my father's prime mode of transportation. His reasoning? "It still runs doesn't it?" And he's right, that thing ran and ran and ran and ran and ran. It's still running... with no heat, floorboards that you can see the road pass by between your feet and an AM/FM radio that works only if you drive NNE. If that isn't enough, allow me to tell you about the time where the 'Old Blue' got stolen from in front of my dad's house.

The thieves RETURNED the truck!! Just Sayin'.

AFTER

Anyway, I am proud to announce that my father finally decided he was tired of driving an old rusted out clunker and that he deserved better. By the Grace of God He ran into a family friend, who just happened to be a Chevy Dealership Owner, and Pop expressed his woes. Thanks to Mr. GMC my Daddy is now the proud owner of a 2003 Chevy Extended Cab Silverado. 4-Wheel Rear Wheel Drive, heated seats and XM Radio. Let's give a round of applause for BDB!!! Welcome to the 21st Century Dawg.

Kielbasa Fried Rice

It was a very low key funday. Blackjack and Kansas City Chief went bike shopping today so there was no brunch. Sad. So we did Happy Hour instead. And by Happy Hour I mean it's Kim Chi's birthday! Yay! Cheers baby, let's go make Chicken Wings and Mambo Sauce!

LaQueishah and Becky 4.1

A very conniving District convinced me to go on a training run with him this morning. I was super nervous as I am very self-conscious when I run with people. But the trainer put me at ease immediately and before I knew it, this Sister and her gimp friend ran a whole 4.1 miles!! We are now rewarding ourselves with brunch at the local CoHi gastropub. So much for cardio.

International Foods Isle?

This is the "Mexican" Isle at the Front Royal food store. Goya is not an option in these parts. The "Chinese" isle consists of Top Ramen and La Choy canned entrees. Just kidding...I think

A Night at The Tremont

or Ellington
See more Kristin Chenoweth videos at Funny or Die

So I'm not up on the blog etiquette, but I totally just stole this from The District's friend Knee Deep in Mud. Stealing from a link from a link, probably plagiaristic but I totally can't stop laughing (Plus, I'm going through a stint of Writer's Block). Thanks KDIM. I will remove this post if I am violating any rules, just let me know. Might I also add folks, that this is the guy who had the misfortune (or not) to actually witness and document an actual "Ass for Crack" transaction.

Thank Goodness I Don't Drive



Cause I'm pretty sure this is how I would react...

Drinking on the Anacostia

So we 'discovered' a spot in SouthWest just down the street from H2O; you know? da' Club. As you can see it's just our style. These people have Jimmy Rigged an air conditioner; meaning a fan on top of a cooler full of ice for our comfort as we imbibe on $4 Tecate cans and Free Upgrades to Cadillac Margaritas. I like the P-River Rat

Saturday, August 16, 2008

Oh Madge!

So I walk into work and this is the first thing I see. What lows has Leo's Shrimp Boat sunk to? Gotta give the girl props though; she puts out some well produced hits. Happy 50th Ester.

Meat Market

We bought and butchered Lucky 13; Here are our spoils. Can't wait to go camping to grill this shizz. Did I mention Baby Lisa hand delivered this stuff? Gotta love her. Oh and thank you Hott Beef brothers. I'm happy to see you and I look forward to a great weekend with you guys.

Smokey Treats

The Artist mans our cooking fire while manning his own fire (Note the Parliment Light in his left hand)

Escape from Peril!

Well kids, I made it back to civilization in one piece despite Kansas City Red's persistent pleas to keep me in the woods one more day. Thank goodness I left because this is what I would have encountered; a RATTLESNAKE!! I love nature but not when it threatens me. I had a blast in the woods. Many thanks to my guest blogger KCR; our camping coordinator and Grillmaster, Blackjack; The NOLA Housemaker for his efficient packing skills and cool gadgets (Friend, I can't stress the importance of a camping chair. While a color coated mess kit and a flammable $50 pillow is cute and all, a chair might make your stay a little more pleasurable.) And last but not least, thank you Barton Stanley for your courageous effort in reporting the previous skinhead camper's vandalism of our campsite; who needs Ghost Stories when you have a swastika staring you in the face while you eat? *shiver. What a blast see you for Camp Your Ass/Pants/Face Off!
Details to follow.

Did I mention I got to drive the Jeep? Aww yeah! It's a stick shift. I worked that beeznotch. and NOT in a dirty way.

Big wheels keep on turnin'

This is guest poster Kansas City Red and this my friends is Sister driving the jeep to the Shenedoah mountains. You might have to watch the local news for further updates.

Cookout on the Corner

Happy 4th from The Corner Connection! Big Bear and his wife had the grand idea to give us city rats a haven to go to whilst the masses went in droves to the mall to watch the fireworks. They 'borrowed' grills from neighbors and hosted a 'Pot Luck' Cookout. Cynthia, Rita Jean and I took a field trip to Omaha Steaks in the 703 and got tons of meat products. Here is The Mexican enjoying the fruits of our labor. Happy Cinco de Mayo Baby!

Douchebagery

So I got rained out at work, which essencitally means I have the night off (at 10pm). And thank goodness for that because this enabled me to observe the Beltway Crowd. Let me just say that these people SUCK!! They totally just ordered shots; which is not necessarily a bad thing but when you order a SoCo Lime, a Lemon Drop, and a "I'm a Big Loser Shot". I get mad because you are taxing the bartender. And now you are so drunk you fall off your barstool as I post this! Please do me a favor, stay in your own hood and condenscend the people at your local Outback Steakhouse. They enjoy the 10-15% tip. And yes, I am bitter.

Saturday, June 21, 2008

Especially when we get to off-road in the Jeep.

Saturday in the Park

In an effort to placate me since I was unable to go camping last weekend, Kansas City Chief and Blackjack took me on an impromptu picnic at Great Falls, VA. Sometimes it's cool to get out of the city for a little while.

NOTE: This is not really Great Falls. I forgot to take a pic so I improvised by taking one when we stopped at Gravelly Point. You get the point.

The End



Becky Lynne and LaQweshah have had their time. It was a good run Baby and Becky just thinks you are just Swell.

It Ain't Over Til It's Over

LaQweshah and Sylvia Tracthenberg have found love. We only have 3 minutes til Day 11 ceases...

Trannies for Obama dot com

and Movie Night begins...

Footsteps

Off to Movie Night. Heading up the hill to the Meth Lab to watch bad movies and eat green slime. Maybe there will be a tasty taco amongst that sludge.

Becky Lynne's Virgin Voyage; Sunken Ship

LaQweshah was taking Becky on a maiden voyage to the Lebanese bar directly diagonal from the NW part of the district. As LaQweshah's mama Shirley Q says "I loves me a bulldagga".
Alas, the lebisians don't go out til late (The construction sites shut down at 745) so the doors were closed til 8.

LaQweshah and Becky Lynne do Baby Backs and Bloody Marys

After our delicious breakfast at the soul food joint, where we paid at the counter. We did a little window shopping and T-Shirt buying at the newish boutiques on U Street. Then headed to the Benjamin so The District could pretend to work, and by work I mean we updated our facebook pages. Sorry if you got a Madonna thrown at you. We didn't quite get around to frying up spam treats but we did perform our wholesome duties for the day and made green jello and pistachio pudding for movie night (I know, don't ask, something to do with Kitzy O'Reilley which is never good). Anyway, we have finally come to our senses and got to the closest place that will serve us. Just in time for Happy Hour $4.00 Baby Back Ribs and $3.00 Spicy Bloody Marys. I like hanging with District on his B-Day. He's a cheap date.

Stay Tuned for..

The Adventures of the Amazing LaQweshah (pictured L) and Becky Lynne.

And So It Begins...

The Disrict and I are starting out Day 11 with a nutritious birthday breakfast at Torrie's at Wison's. Then we're off to make deep fried spam treats.

Happy Birthday District, Day 11. The Passing of the Baton (Thank BeJeebus!) Never thought I'd say that out loud...


I have to admit, I'm a little bit ashamed of myself. I have searched through my files and for the life of me I cannot find a picture of The District!! I think the both of us are so busy taking pictures of our friends having a good time, that we didn't stop to capture ourselves in the moments of our glory. I see a photo session in our future... (Where you at Annie Lebowitz?)
Anyway Love, I have to say that you are one of my bestest friends and I truly do love you. Thank you for being such a wonderful, loving human being and allowing me to know and love your family. I wish you the best and I look forward to the many good times we will have to come.

Happy Half 70th Friend!!!

Tell Yo' Mama I axed how she be durrin!!

One More Thing

Did I mention that we are sitting in the same spot where a young BoSox once got spooged on when this place was a gay boy nudie bar? Ahh The Good Ol' Days.

More From Nats Ball Park

UPDATE: Chili Dog with jalepeno's and sour cream. Dee-lish! The line at Ben's was way too long for that overrated place so we went to Hard Times instead (BoSox you were right about that place sister. That chili is off the hizzy!) The temperature has dropped to a cool and stagnant 86 degrees, The Nats are losing (this team sure has alot of Mexicans, you would think that that would be an advantage. So much for stereotypes) it's the 7th inning i.e. last call and they are making us sing that stupid cracker jack song, so KCC and I are taking our sweaty bodies to a going away party. The District is wisely continuing rehab for another day by cleaning his house, so I must represent Day 9 before I pass the baton to him for Day 10. Tag! You're it!!

Game Day

At Nationals Park with Kansas City Chief. Thanks to some random generous tattooed hottie at Solly's who gave me tickets that are some pretty good seats. We even have our own personal Bud Man. What a lovely surprise for Day 9 of Birthday Month. Hot Tattoo boy must be really generous cause The Bundy's are here too! A baseball game isn't a game without a hot dog, so we are off to Ben's for a tasty treat.

Bad Morning




Here I sit
With my shoes mismated
Lawdy-Mercy!
I's frustrated

Langston Hughes

Actually, it's nobodys Bad Morning and I'm not wearing shoes I just love the fact that that was the first thing I read at 'breakfast' yesterday with The District. I had a great day and I would like to take a moment, ok several, to personally thank all of you that made it a fantastic day and let those of you who were unable to be there know what a wonderful time that I had.

Cast: In order of Appearance (names have been changed to protect the not so innocent)

Seamstress - First and foremost, I want to thank you for making me such a fabulous dress. Gurl, I know you worked super hard and spent many a sleepless and agonizing night over this thing (I say 'this thing' cause I may still be wearing it...story to follow) but it was worth it trust me. I really didn't mind riding up and down those hills to the fittings.

BoSox - Thanks for the shout out post?

The District - Friend, it just wouldn't be a birthday without you. Thank you for starting the day off right!! You powered through the afternoon to be my personal shopper and then almost jeopardized your reputation by almost getting arrested for shoplifting. I'm not sure whether I should be proud or worried that you made it to Day 5 of birthday month, but I'm glad you are going on a retreat this weekend to celebrate your daughter's birthday. Thank goodness she doesn't drink...yet.

Cynthia - Thanks for kicking, err I mean letting The District out of the house to hang out with me. You got a handful to deal with sister and I do not envy you. Love you sister, mean it.

Baby Lisa - I waited for you all day!!! Happy Birthday girl. I miss you. See you when the deck is done.

Dog in a Bag - My birthday wouldn't be complete with out that cacophonous melody. Thanks for 'singing' to me.

Every

Single

Year


Little Betty - In the words of my girl Mimi Shake it Off sister. Tell him to Call Tyrone but he can't use your phone...


Sister Disco - I'm glad you were there to help me pick out accessories for my Fabulous Frock, although I looked like the crackhead shoplifter, it gives me a warm fuzzy to know that you were the one to get stopped by security after I left.

Mexican - I heart you sister. I'm glad you have a job but I'm not glad you have a job. Congratulations on your new Hobbit Hole. Basement living is good times, take it from a veteran. I know you worry about living alone, but take solice in the fact that if you die in your sleep, I will make sure that the authorities look at Tchop as the first suspect.

Blackjack - It was so comforting that you were the first face I saw in the 703. I'm happy that you made the voyage to have Tex-Mex with me.

Twin Brother - It was good to see you, and thanks for bringing us back to civilzation after dinner. I wish your plus one and your twin sister could have been there. I guess someone we know has to have a bed time and stick to it. Thanks for being there.

Mary Rice - Well friend, you already live and work in the VA so I know it wasn't a trek for you. But thanks for leaving Call of Duty to come hang out. Oh wait, you didn't have power, I would want to get out of my house too if all I had to do was light candles and read books. Good to see your face friend. Dags I missed your face, are they allowed to sell wine in Alabama?

Puff and Candy - What a great card!! You guys do so much for us all. Thank you for being in my life. I won't tell any one that the meth lab was the cause of the manhole explosions.

Peanut & RSVP - Oh my little A-listers. Thank you for slumming it with us, even if it was just for a minute. RSVP, the only boy I know that can pull off red pants, a baby blue v-neck and a hairy chest. You make a mean cupcake.

Kansas City Chief - Thanks for leaving your party in ADAMS MORGAN to join mine. Am I gonna have to bust up into the 'fish and let your biznatches know what time it is? Tell Nickel and her pretty little Geisha tag along that I was here before them and I will be here long after them. Man it sucks getting old.

Mei Ling, Chow Foon & Chef Fuck Yourself - You guys make Joe's Crab Shack the best place to work. I know that when you guys are there that it's gonna be a great night. Thanks for hanging out and more importantly, thank you for my present. That Jack Daniels is some pretty tasty stuff, I have to try that again sometime ;)

Big Ed - You mean the world to me friend. Thanks for finally realizing what day it was. Sorry I called you a Shiftless fill in the blank. I know it's hard out there for a Pimp, but you keep on keepin' on brother. I promise I'll fry chicken for you one day.

Ming Tsai - Thank you for...well, thanks for just being you. I'm glad you liked my dress ;)

Last but not least

RITA JEAN - You are a fantastic cruise director and a gracious host. The field trip was great, despite the daunting metro ride. (Note to self a cab to and from the VA is only $22 ) and dinner was fantastic. Thank you for coordinating this venture and more thanks for tucking me in. Dawn complimented me on the way out. See you at Breakfast and by breakfast I mean Happy Hour

The Man of the Hour

It's EB's 70th Birthday Party and he is having a blast. I'm pretty sure if he read this he wouldn't want me to divulge his age, but this is a pretty big milestone. This is the first time I've ever seen my old man smile. It's kinda cool :)

Is This Wrong?

Is it even more wrong that I am at a chain restaurant in an airport at 11 am? I just had a succulent chicken scallopine, a house favorite as denoted by a chef's hat in the margin of the menu; accompanied by a spicy medium bodied Chianti. This all served on an artistic Mediterranian style decorative plate with a linen napkin and a set of PLASTIC utinsils.

Introducing Executive DJ Puff Skittles

Congrats to the recently crowned DJ Puff Skittles. He got a promotion to the Exec level. I'm not entirely sure he's allowed to hang with the likes of us lower class folk. But we got him nonetheless. Hopefully he won't lose his job for being late tomorrow cause RJ is already trying to buy him shots.

Coror Nairs

She's got to break out the Industrial Grade Sandpaper for those puppies (and by puppies I mean full grown mangrels)
