#6  Nose Guard is what we used to call The Cup, and it is soccer, so "jock sniffer" maybe?

#4  Friend raised in rural eastern Oklahoma talked about a family that were the exemplars of 'Poor White Trash'. Anything got stolen, new source of marijuana or whatever and the county sheriff would go out and pay them a visit. Finally to no local's surprise they were found dead from multiple shotgun wounds... Some things are just natural end results.

#1  Been reading Florida crime literature, both true crime and fiction, since I got here. It's actually rather typical of the type of violent crime that occurs in small communities here.

Familiarity does breed contempt.
