When I was in high school there was a real annoying hardcore kid who came to all the local shows so my friend started a rumor that he supported the Iraq war.

Wrecking up the udders of my Condiment Beast dispenser because my fish and chip customers deserve teats of malt vinegar AND tartar sauce.

Text from website for this product. Text reads in black on white background.

To refill, open the door to access the interior, remove the Udder Dispenser, refill and return to the hanging bracket. Udder Dispensers clean up with just soap and water and are dishwasher safe.

Any liquid condiments such as ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, ranch, mayonnaise, vinegar, chocolate syrup, etc. can be dispensed from the Condiment Cow.
Chunky condiments (relish, salsa, etc) do
NOT work well.

Last sentence was highlit in yellow.

there's something here

A normal-versus-normal matchup is what politics used to be — persuasion, messaging, negotiation, compromise. Behaving this way will lose against someone donning body armor while calling you an antifa domestic terrorist MS-13 gang member. And the guy in the body armor will always lose to the guy in the inflatable frog suit.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.
