(photo courtesy of PhotoMIX Company)   Today we arrived home after three days of driving. No, I didn’t stick strictly to my diet on the road and yes, I ate shit I shouldn’t have. The list includes buttery home fries, a huge omelet with cheese and bro...

If/when the Zombie Apocalypse hits, Vegetarians and Vegans are going to eat meat again. Don't tell me you're not. Y'all are just one juicy beef burger or T-bone steak away from being meat zombies anyway, as far as I'm concerned. I'm surprised you're...
