Read More Quick Hit: A ShoutOut! to All of the Bag Ladies.This week at The Bitchin’ Table, femonfire and aliasmitch are angry. So angry that they are willing to start an arbitrary facebook group that demands everyone they don’t like to be fired from their jobs because these people shouldn’t have jobs (because we said so.) We will call ourselves 5 Zillion Deviants and we will […]
