1. Chicken pot pie
2. My aunt’s clam dip/ruffles
3. Carnitas tacos
4. Toll house chocolate chip cookies
5. Flavor King pluots

That said, in the extremely unlikely event that I’m facing a capital punishment sentence, my last meal will be Olive Garden’s never-ending pasta bowl.

All I want is an offense that doesn’t disappear by the all-star break.

Pretty much the story of the past four seasons.

What a joke!
They wanna entice writers with extensive commercial success with the kind of money you’d shell out for a neighborhood piano teacher.

Who the fuck would respond to this, especially knowing that AI has already ripped them off!

The second biggest was that the lead that’s killing condors doesn’t come from ammunition (even though necropsies and radiographs say otherwise).

The NRA can take a flying fuck at the moon.

Exactly.

Miller is a bald-headed chicken-plucker who looks like Pauly Shore with his head shaved.

Good synopsis, unfortunately.

It’s an organization that aims to win through pitching & defense, yet refuses to spend on top-tier pitching.

Every time Greg Johnson approaches a microphone he drives kids toward the Warriors, Niners, or, worst of all, the Dodgers.

If Burgum’s cancelling leases of people who have followed the law, abided by the terms of the lease, and faithfully made payments, then I’m sure he was absolutely outraged by Malheur and the Bundy situation.

Maybe Jon Voight will give Trump his Academy Award, and if Caitlyn Jenner won’t part with her gold medal, Trump might confiscate it.

I honestly do believe the Giants are trying to compete neck and neck with the Dodgers: they’re vowing to keep their payroll as high as the Dodgers CBT penalty!
