I think I’m just as offended by the Easter Bunny decoration hanging three months after the actual holiday.
Perhaps it was a suggestion for you — after all you had an extended wait.
Hey, there’s also a Stationary aisle at the East Lake Publix on Glenwood and Fayetteville.
Truly moving!
I think it’s an impressive testament to you that your readers are actually intelligent and funny as well.

And the P Diddy ones.
