ReplyDeleteI'M ALL FOR IT!
Bu tare really named "Veggie"?
^^^^(Sorry, haven't had coffee yet.)
ReplyDelete...But are they BOTH named "Veggie"?...
ReplyDeleteThe new mall owners have taken the Plaza to a new low. This year is ruined by Gary Lezak and Sly James, but then again it's their kind of place now, kinda carnival like. Sad they didn't pick someone who would have loved to flip the switch, I know there's a lot of people who could have been chosen for the first time.
PETA lesbians eat pussy which is the other pink meat so there should be no problem eating a turkey.
ReplyDeleteFree Hot Soup is nothing but a bunch of self righteous media hungry whores
ReplyDeleteFlipping the switch is supposed to be for deserving individuals that have done something amazing for someone or their community, neither of those clowns should be anywhere near the switch, since when did this become about celebrity instead of regular people who’ve done something great or above and beyond? I’m talking about ordinary citizens here
ReplyDeleteWhat is the Plaza? Isn't it in Leawood, Kansas?
ReplyDeleteJames flipping the switch is an all time low blow to the people of Kansas City. Just shows you how bad black people are causing the downfall of the Plaza area. And what does the Plaza do about it? Not a damn thing! They have allowed the blacks to take over the Plaza and run the good white folks off.
ReplyDeleteHey James, where are the trash bags people were promised years ago?
