It’s a horrible story, Panther Rae
Caruth had his pregnant girlfriend murdered and then went on the run. Was found hiding in
the trunk of his car outside a motel. His mom may be charged with trying to help him stay
free. It’s very sad and all but…
Damn, look at homeboy’s head!!! It’s huge!!! I swear I did not doctor this
photo. It’s like he has an extra head up on top of his head. He should have kept the hair.
Meanwhile…
…So a few days ago I told you all to go to vitamins.com and get their 25 dollar off with free delivery deal. A reader happily says:
…you still ROCK in the most ultimate of ways. why, you ask? well, i went to your vitamins.com thing -- and well, even though I don't take or like or have any interest in vitamins, I realized they sell bath & body stuff! and a girl can *never* have enough cool bath and body stuff. i ordered three different orders under different family members' names and different cc#'s, each a tad over $25. one of my orders was for things totalling $25.08!! anyway, i ended up getting $75 worth of stuff for less than $2.00. i am the QUEEN!
So when January runs around and your shit is out of Shampoo, Vitamin R, and you just dropped your last loofa in the toilet by mistake, don’t come crying to me. I’m just saying.
