We’ve got an obituary that reminds us to call people out, and one for a jack of all trades. Oh, and we didn’t forget, we’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminalsssss!

Next, Madison is bringing the holiday spirit with some wild stories regarding the origin of good ole Saint Nick. We’ve got an obituary for a free-thinker, an old school death notice that leaves little to the imagination, and of course, we’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminalllllllls!
