It's how my boy Arthur went out. Poor bastard never made it to Tahiti to farm mangoes like he'd always dreamt of.
so you can just call it an american tradition and move on?
I'm sure the white house has a plan for dealing with this. By making it worse. Hey, a bad plan is still a plan.
What a terrible time for this to happen…
Yeah but… red state. 🤪
If there was justice in this world it would only effect the dipshits… but we all know there is no justice.

"Affect" — to "effect" dipshits would be to cause dipshits to come into being.
I write both words all the time and still mess them up constantly lmao.
You could, at the very least, fix your typo..

The unfortunate part is the two counties in KS most affected currently are two blue counties. They're the more densely populated part of the state being part of the Kansas City metro. Sucks 😔
I mean... There's a vaccine so...
This is in the KC metro. It’s happening in bluer counties. Also, I bet it’s happening in Missouri too but I haven’t heard anything.
You understand the concept of travel yeah?
My state will override Trump and supply vaccines, I have no doubt.
Washingtonian here. I’m sure we’ll have them regardless of what that oaf says.
Howdy neighbor ;)
Heyooooo! Mountain’s out!
The first world paint job is cracking if it's not already fully off.
