Know what would be really nostalgic and heritage-loving?

Frankly, Minden is utterly unworthy to suck any ass. We have sundown towns in this Illinois county. Fuck 'em all.
A little bit of det cord would do the job.

Except for the monthly noon siren to test it. I always wondered what would happen if a tornado touched down at noon
What the HELL, America.
wilful ignorance sums up america, full stop (sorry guys, but you have kind of made a virtue of it all over the place)
