The Daily Word in stunt doubles, pizza saving lives and remember Y2K?!

The Daily Word

Oh hai, Alibi friends! This rain has been absolutely lovely and I'm in a helluva mood today! This is the Daily Word for May 7th 2015.

Who the hell says pizza doesn't save lives? NO ONE. NO ONE EVER SAYS THAT.

OMG! Remember Y2K? My friend's parents had a Y2K survival box in their den and when the world didn't end in 2000 we had a stash of batteries for our tape recorder to record songs for like five years.

Road raging against the police?! This guy was all like "Not caring FTW!"
