• A HUGe peace the fork out goes out to my main man Sam ‘General’ Mills. You, along with Rickey Jackson, Vaughn Johnson, and Pat Swilling, made up one of THE finestest LBing corps this world has ever seen. Ahhh, gotta love the Saints circa early 90s, actually makin the pay-offs, Morten Andersen’s golden shoe, a pre-rant-antic Jim Mora, Bobby ‘The Cajun Cannon’ Hebert, and the official fan club, Who Dat?, for which I was a briefly a member of. Bless yous, for you all are truly a SAINTsation!

• And Cuth-ness, I wanted to tell you the following face to sitting on my face, but here it goes: I’m sorry sweet-teets, but I like totally cheated on yous and yer fine arse crease this past tweakend with Ivanka and her luscious harris/jackson lips. She was so in the mood to pump some iron and since you know how much I love irony and that my penis is made out of a recycled 9-iron, I had no choice but to oblige. Plus she hypnotized me with her hypnothighs. But it’s all your fault THIGHNESS!!! If we didn’t sit around eating microwaved tunafish and play Donkey Conga all the time, then maybe this would have never happened!!
