    Only because I used to work there and he'd come into our office from time-to-time.

    We didn't hang out or anything, though until now, I was always confused by his repeated testimonials for Rubbermaid products.

    Rubbermaid's secure seal keeps raccoons from nibbling on your loafers.

    Oh my goodness. Is she not wearing shorts and/or underwear? Yuck. Between the generic brand cheetos and the other, uh, area, I hope the photographer was wearing one of those hazmat suits.

    I love how you can buy a reprint of the photo, suitable for framing and all...

    This couple has bought a box or two of Sudafed in their day.

    I thought this was a D_B about Bill Simmons' podcast.

    "White trash" is a racist term, if you break it down, and I never let it get into print.

    If you qualify "trash" by saying it's "white trash," then, ergo, you are implying that regular trash is not white -- or that all trash is assumed to be non-white unless you say "white trash" -- and that's where the trouble starts. Instructed to me a great copy editor long ago, and I understood it immediately because he was a minority and took offense when he saw it used.

    And I totally agree. Trash is trash. And so white trash ain't any better than any other trash, is it?

    Blah, blah, blah. Knew that was coming at some point.

    Lighten up, Francis. It was a play on words based on the picture.

    The guy appears to be white. He's in the trash.

    I believe the correct answer is the incinerator.
