A Wednesday Ramblings exclusive
Ok, so if that unmentionable rag of a newspaper can put dead/decapitated bodies on its front page, we can put a picture of the "runny" wedding cake that led to the beating of a bride.
The police now have the cake in custody and it is set to testify in the trial.
Edict of the Week
The next person to write about corporal punishment is going to get a good beating without the PNCR?
