1. Clouds. Go visit mikeA, you bulbous water-vapor-filled douchebags. 2. East coast “sourdough” bread. That is not real sourdough, assholes. 3. People who wear scarves indoors. Humankind has conquered nature. When you are indoors, there is no reason to wear a scarf. No, it doesn’t make you look cool. It makes you look like you ...

Jamey Carroll? Jamey Carroll?!?
