1. Possum, I f*ckin’ shot that!

  5. Hey mama, this that ship that make you move, mama

    Here’s to mothers: especially the ones that paddle instead of spank, and the ones that act up instead of acting out. On Sunday, celebrate yo mama — and last-minute shoppers, remember that Saturday is World Fair Trade Day.
