“Dude. Chick Fil-a. What do you think?” “Awww, man! You were the first person I thought of when this whole thing went down. I know how you like to get down on some Chick Fil-a!” “Dude; you know it! I’m down for Chick Fil-a 24/7/365 and 366 on a leap year!” “It’s all bull sh*t. […]

8 comments

This is one of those blogs that the lucid part of me is wondering what the negative repercussions will be following the moment I hit “post”.
