I don't know what it is like in other areas but you don't screw around with the Sheriff Deputies in this county. They got in trouble for changing the lettering on one of the patrol cars from "Protect and Serve" to "We Will Kick Your Ass". No joke, they really did that.

potbelly

true story. new years day 2012.

and now for something completely different.a friend was reminding me that i hadn't posted any comics in a long time. the truth is i went back to school and organic chemistry is kicking my bum. maybe there is a comic in that...

necrotising fasciitis
