What were Canadians thinking the morning after? What the hell just happened? Busia Nuuubhhhh... Ahhhhhbh... Goddamn... What the hell just happened? ™\, calling himself God? And what the fuck is an ice cream burger?” Raekwon, born Corey Woods, but also known as Lex Diamonds, Mr. Woods, Clyde Smith, Ray Cartegna, Rocky Boulders or Raethamater, arrived at the McDonald’s Drive-Thru window at 10:19 PM, in a 2006 Lincoln Navigator. After two unsuccessful attempts to place his order, Sims began recording the third : “Yo, word up me and my nigga Streetlife from 212 got the munchies crazy off the hook, God.

And neither are their dinner orders.” su|do|ku © Puzzles by Pappocom 8 4 O1 OO —~] CO OO ail NO 9} 18 3 HARD #1 Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9.
