Coming up with a good rapper name

If you never thought about what your hypothetical rapper name would be, you are grossly unprepared for an emergency and shouldn’t be trusted outdoors in the current environment without a hazmat suit.

Part 4: Massachusetts (American Absurdity)

Massachusetts isn’t just hard to say or spell: it’s also hard to tolerate sometimes. I love my home state, but there’s a reason why others refer to us as “Massholes”
