Happy 14th Anniversary, Sweet Brown
Imagine this. You’re home at your apartment complex, and all of a sudden you smell smoke. You escape with your life. Thankfully, you are safe.

Read MoreKobe Bryant + Kyle Busch =/= Abraham Lincoln + John F. Kennedy
As a kid, I remember an old “Abraham Lincoln / John F. Kennedy” novelty penny. It was a standard Lincoln penny engraved with JFK’s likeness in the dead space.
