I would love to see the Weinermobile towing the Plantersmobile and the idea is drivin’ me nuts. The shirt is the casing, we are the sausage. This is low-carb life. “Whatcha drinkin’ there? ...

I would love if sex toy stores had ads on teevee with, like, Crazy Eddie style promotions. “I DOUBLE-DONG DARE YOU TO GET A BETTER DEAL!” If the Insane Clown Posse really wanted to find out h...
