My buddy's on permanent disability due to the amount of lives he saved with Naloxone as a fire fighter. He's all f'ed in the head now.

My wife and I did study our asses off. The problem was two professional degrees later and a debt larger than a mortgage.

You do what you have to do. We have a pond now in New Brighton, though, so I guess we got that going for us.

They should incorporate one of those industrial military water-cannons to hose down anti-vax protestors.

Now theres a feature you dont see every day on public monuments!

"Huh...the fountain turned off and there is an angry man in full tactical gear at the top...I wonder whats about to happen..."

No one comes out alive, so that's why you don't hear about it.

I don't think so. It is a storm pond so I don't think they have fish or are allowed to fish if there are. Anyone know where to get a bucket of baby trout?

Tons of birds and fountains in the summer. Plus, I don't have to look into my neighbour's kitchen window.
