I lied about my age on the job application. I even doctored a Xerox copy of my birth certificate with zero regard for any possible fines or imprisonment. I had to get this job but I was 15, too young. The minimum age to work at AstroWorld was 16. Who could blame me, though?

I sat in the personnel reception area, waiting for my name to be called. My mother waited in her car in the parking lot listening to Luther Vandross, windows down and managing the humidity and heat with a hand fan depicting Jesus washing his disciples’ feet. It didn’t take long. I got the job. A week later, I put on the blue and yellow uniform with the nametag. I had arrived. I was officially part of the dream.
Another title match has been made official for MLW Kings of Colosseum.

A photograph supposedly showing two “fluffy” cows after they had been shampooed, conditioned, and blow-dried is frequently met with curious comments as it circulates on social media:

This picture was taken in 2011 and shows two cows named Johnny Football and Texas Tornado from Lautner Farms in Adel, Iowa. When the image first went viral, Lautner Farms published a blog post explaining just how much work goes into making these cows show-ready:
