I've watched more than one YouTube video where, like a fucking Hollywood jump scare, not-Weird Al suddenly pops into frame for a manic, expected cameo, and I'm like, "Whelp, that's enough of this creator." Anyone who collabs with Walker after Change the Channel must be as bad as he is.

Hmm. Why does this sound familiar? Could it be like how when W. Bush pushed for the National Do Not Call List, the only companies that followed the law were legitimate businesses, while the worst illegal spammers simply spoofed their locations to avoid getting caught?

The crematorium charged us only around $1,500 for my mother last year, which includes putting her ashes in whatever urns or memorial ornaments we give them. I will eventually have some of her in an hourglass I bought with a quote from 'Ghostbusters 2' on it. THAT is how we should handle remains.

This will no doubt come in handy for a local businessman who is currently being sued in civil court for millions he stole from clients. There has got to be a criminal investigation against him, but as he also pretends to be a rightwing influencer, he'd probably just buy a pardon anyway, I suppose.
