How many &#8220;My Friends&#8221; can anyone take?? All My Friends actually sent me text messages that began with the words &#8220;My Friends!&#8221; (I texted in reply, &#8220;U Hate Freedom!&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>2. Grandpa&#8217;s whistling S&#8217;s inspired a Whistling S contest between me and my nephew. I won!<\/p>\n<p>3. No one left me any chicken wings! Fuckers.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, but how gratifying to hear the post-debate blather at CNN. They all admitted that Grandpa was a repellent little shit. Not in those exact words, though.<\/p>\n<p>Did everybody see McCain refuse to shake Obama&#8217;s hand? Nice touch, Grandpa! Now, we must turn our attention to Mrs. P, who probably thinks she holds the winning hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was almost sad, but you know, it wasn&#8217;t!
