“Good Luck Chuck” was just awful.
Stephen, others scoff at AP headlines, style
Phillips to make mass comm. students cry, criticize
Phillips: ‘AP headlines sometimes not necessary’

$4.34 and six minutes later, I had my smoothie … with whipped cream on top … and caramel. Flippin’ CARAMEL. Instead of making her change it […]

Dave Matthews Band is fan-fucking-tastic. Too bad we are like number 40 in the rankings right now. And what’s with all the military schools ranking at the top?
