‘Breaking bread with the boys’ – If Jesus Had Snapchat
Jesus would’ve crushed Snapchat. From what I know of the guy, he definitely had a decent sense of humour at a time where getting stoned meant something entirely different. Let’s pretend social media, specifically Snapchat, existed at the time of Jesus’ crucifixion and subsequent resurrection. Double pretending, if you will. Add to that, the fact […]

5 indisputable reasons why Airline was the best 90s TV show
