Oh, the douchery!
Lazy city workers faked water-meter readings*, hosing residents of Homeland and Endor Gardens with a golden shower of quintupled bills. Check your water bills, y'all!
Chrissy Lee Polis: I Want to See Other Things

Stand for something! ... doesn't look like the Trans Panthers have done much either, though, but try to sell adorable purple berets.Tuesday, May 15, 2012
