looks like drunk-ass-pops got into another altercation down at the local watering hole again.
damn drunk-ass-pops.
he's already spent my college savings on transexual whores, meth, schlitz, and that damn "limited edition" Baracuda which resides on cinderblocks back by the dough boy pool.
that damn pool. my buddy jimmy got polio while we were playing marco polo in that damn pool because drunk-ass-pops used all of the pool chemicals to make something called "supercrack." when he shoots it up in his arse, he gets all crazy and silly. one time he ran around the house with a 12 guage screaming about how i'm a no-good-faggotfucker and my mama's a stanky, hobag, dirty-dickfucker. whorein' around town and the like. he beats me and mama real good every time.
mama.
she smells like bleach and hairdye and old socks. drunk-ass-pops don't even sleep with mama anymore. he sleeps in little janie's bed. janie, she's got a lot of stuffed animals. i like stuffed animals, but pops burned all mine one year.
damn drunk-ass-pops.
Soccer mom (noun) - A soccer mom is an attractive, white mini-van driving, ex-cheerleader who married the football star the day after high school graduation. after a few ugly kids squirt out of her, she totes them around the suburbs like a kangaroo while their dad brings home the bacon at the toyota dealership and fucks random secratary sluts. they have a 3 bedroom 2 bath, 2 story house in the upper-middle class part of town and regularly attend school and town meetings and of course, all of their children's extra-curricular activities.

What is so cool about a Stealth Bomber?
