You piece of shit liar. You know GODDAMNED well that your White trash mother also used Crisco. You telling me that her trashy ass used butter back when most folks used Crisco/margarine? You're a ****ing blow-out-the-ass liar.

The shit in the cans, which I'm sure your defective mother used is made with Crisco. There are still a few ****ing idiots like Ophelia--no wait, she's not an idiot, she just likes to care for damaged, defective pieces of humanity.

Then there's Gary, who just likes to know that there's someone else here who has more crappy tastes than himself, but at least he's honest about it.
