C.) midcentury modern furniture pieces
D.) contemporary art collection
E.) Richard Neutra-designed home
F.) medicine cabinet filled with premium hair products

that I quite clearly so richly deserve?

[walking]

SLAM!

Watch where YOU’RE going you miserable (fill-in the blank)!

NO! I OWN the sidewalk, you lousy [mutter mutter mutter]!

[cartoon smoke cloud hanging over head]

[walking]

Oh, here’s the Tile Bar! I’ll just stop in for a nice little Bass Ale that they have on draft.

[Reaches for bowl of snacks on bar that are always available here].

Chompchompchomp

[chipmunk cheeks filled with snack mix]

The light kind of streams in here nicely through the door and big windows in the late afternoon, doesn’t it?

Talk about synergy:

Hey guys/folks,

Go Jets,
Best,
J
