The Chinese Own Smithfield, And Germans Own Krispy Kreme. Which American Corporation Will Sell Out Next??

I had donned a facemask before I walked in, looked around briefly – I was the only customer present – and Read the rest of this entry »

We’ve known it all along.

Roll Tide fans are weird.

This is why checking the OKTC tips folder is so entertaining — because occasionally you get unexpected emails like this:

“At the Florabama in Orange Beach, AL this weekend, a Bama fan told me unprovoked that he would have sex with Nick Saban. I asked him to say it on camera. He does. Below is the video of said Bammer musing over what he would and would not do with Nick Saban. Only problem is that the video is really dark.”
