Re: WHO DICKS THE DICKFUCKERS?
During my one-month career as a postman, I did enjoy my experience driving a step-van with the wheel on the right side. Backing it up to the loading dock, not so much. The veteran guys reverse-drove them fast and parked at the dock perfectly. If the rookies didn’t approximate that, then shit was giv...

Also, now more than ever, I stand by saying the Rangers should have included Rempe in a deadline deal just to avoid the type of sideshow a contender really doesn't need. In the game one postgame show, Messier opined that maybe the Rangers should play Rempe in game two. Rangers twitter seems to agre...

I think a lot of it for all those clowns is blind ambition. If Trump wins, there’s a non-zero chance that he doesn’t finish his term. Voilá. Someone who couldn’t get elected gets to be president.

According to wiki, there are 3,892 high schools in California. You’re not really proving your point.
