THIS IS FOR BRODIE!

“You’re f-ing kidding? The Easter Bunny did that?!” “Can you believe it? All I said was the Easter Bunny at the Menlo Park Mall was more convincing and he just jumped the railing and knocked me down.” “He’s f’in dead!” “Aw let it go…he’s under a lot of pressure.” Jay and Bob were at it […]
