ideleteme asked: If your only cigarette choices are your brand in 100s or a different brand of shorts, which are you choosing?
I have had 22 slices of pizza from the same pizza place in the past 3 months. I know this because I document everything in free slice punch cards.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the writers of the Walking Dead brought back Merle Dixon and tried to pass him off as The Governor for season three. The people who write for this show hate story telling. If you watch this show and haven’t read the comics, I urge you to read them.

That feeling when you look at the calendar and realize the show you’re working on St. Patrick’s day will be mainly comprised of 21 year-old college kids in a party town.
