POTTSTOWN, PA – An area Little League coach has captured widespread attention for a speech delivered to his players ahead of their regional semifinal debut.

“Hey, hey. Listen up guys. This is fun, right? Let go of the nerves. You’re gonna look back and realize these are the best days of your life. Trust me – it all goes downhill from here.”

Oh hi there Erica...

Remember me? I was your “taller-than-6ft-but-shorter-than-8ft-it-has-to-fit-inside-the-living-room-goddammit-Todd '' perfect Douglas fir. You and the kids drove an ungodly distance to a Christmas Tree Farm (I thought you supported organic and free range? What’s up with that, Erica?) only to find it packed with tiny children wielding disproportionately large axes. You said I was “the one.” Now I’m lying in a disgusting cocktail of slush, car exhaust, and rocksalt on your sidewalk. You bitch.

This crisp weekend of October the 23rd, the year 2021 Annatto Dairy, I witnessed what could only be described as a triumph for turophiles as hundreds of thousands flocked to the banks of Charles River to watch humble me, perched upon said bank, eat a delicious square of ricotta. 

Having drawn such a crowd, I felt obligated, as the least measure of thanks to these fans from far and wide, to produce a detailed review of this rendition of the so-nicknamed “head of cheese” (HOC for short).

Area Dad Filbert Jennings lost his favourite shoehorn in a tragic accident just this Monday. About the beloved shoehorn, Mr. Jennings said, “Yes, it was a tragic accident, Vanessa, because it was an accident, and I am very sad about it.” The shoehorn was reportedly in his hand, and then allegedly, no longer in his hand. A self-identified witness to the scene A. Shiu Horne reportedly told Filbert, “I love you, but if you love me, you have to let me go.” However, Horne is now in witness protection and could not be reached for comment on the validity of this statement.

On October 20th, what was at first a simple problem set group chat quickly became something much more intimate and involved, but you were never ready for this. What was first called “Problem Set Buds” was changed to “Steven’s Extra Nipple.” You don’t even know who Steven is.

Felipe from the group chat alleges: “No I’m pretty sure you were there too at that thing we invited you to…right?”

You weren’t, according to eyewitnesses, who were there.
