This is the time of year when the farm children grab their 22s and take to the woods seeking the elusive mistletoe, which they shoot out of the trees
Long been a way for kids to earn a couple of bucks in the rural South but sadly a dying tradition.

The noblest man that ever lived.
Now in the name of all the gods at once upon what meat does this our Donald feed that he has grown so great.
