Black dogs are discriminated against at the pound

The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice.  Once you go black, you’ll never go back.  Black by popular demand.

The Edwin Hall/Kelsey Smith case is dragging on

This case isn’t closed yet?  It should have been over the minute they grabbed that scumbag.  The attorneys for Hall are turning this into a big case of patty cake, bakers man.  At any moment, the judge should say, “throw him up into the frying pan!!!”
