(November 4, 2010) - Mark W. Law

Normally my reading is limited to online newspapers and sports websites - I know I am rather boring that way, but from time to time I can't help but pick up one of those 'rag mags' and peruse it while waiting in line at Valu-Mart. You know the ones, The National Enquirer, The Star, etc.

Alligator Shoes
(May 9, 2010) - Sam P.

A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking. After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blon..
