Some days I think the univese doesn't want me to instigate things
I had a great idea for a gag gift to send my uncle for his birthday, a package of green and blue M&Ms with "happy birthday" printed on them. He can't stand food that's dyed those colors, and if I planned it right, would blame my mom and attempt some sort of hilarious revenge ( Read more... ) -
