1. If you worked for Irving ISD during the 2000-01 school year, you may want to hold onto your effin’ hat, because someone is probably ordering $240 worth of pudding right now, using a credit card with your name on it.

That won’t stop me, however, from saying “don’t try to Betty Brown me, son” whenever someone accuses me of saying something confusing. Given my track record, expect that to happen several dozen times a day for the next forever.
