I want to try to pizza at Antico, a restaurant in the area. Looks yummy and a friend raves about it.

Of course it was an AK-47. Aren’t ALL guns AK-47’s until we learn they weren’t?

How many stabbing list the manufacture of the cutlery?

I hate liberals. I HATE them.

Well then. Turns out AK-47's are much less dangerous than we have been told.

Not one person got shot.

In liberal speak, I mean. Even when the firearm in question is a .22 squirrel gun..

LOL!

I remember a kid in elementary school who would say “Ax”
instead of “Ask.”

Damn typos....of course, I meant “SKS” in my original post.

Meanwhile, on ABC’s “World News Tonight,” the hysterics from Diane Sawyer over this story forced me to change the channel.

The pronunciation is actually in the 1850s minstrel song composed by Stephen Foster - “Angelina Baker”

“Angelina likes de boys as far as she can see ‘em,
She aksd de’ massa jus’ dis morn’ to see if he could free ‘em”

It is a very old mispoken word.. and has to have a source in which African language prevailed among slaves brought here.
