I'll balance my "get off my lawn" word toot with this: jazz sucks. #kidding #mostly

"You're #kidding me."
Vern was impassive, both hands in his back pockets regarding the herd. "I hain't kiddin'."
"Those aren't goats," Jasper bit his lip, "but aliens?"
"Yup."
"How?"
"I runs a chiggen farm, Jass. What need do I gots for goats?"
"'Cause they don't lay eggs."
Vern glared at his friend, "Welp, these here goats do." He held up a gray, red speckled egg. "Aliens" he enunciated.
The shell split and a #kid peeked out. "Taaake us to your leader."
"Toldja."

The boys caught Ben trying for a second time to slide a Jack of Hearts from his sleeve onto the crate they'd #set up as a table.

"Your problem is, you don't listen to warnings," said Vic. "So now I'm gonna issue an order. GET LOST. And don't come back!" He kicked over the crate for emphasis, sending cards flying.

Ben took a defiant swig of Captain Morgan, but who was he #kidding?

"Yeah, fine. See you never." He left with the most nonchalant saunter he could muster.

State Department slashes fee to renounce US citizenship by 80%

The State Department has slashed by about 80% the fee for Americans to formally renounce their U.S. citizenship. After years of legal battles with groups representing Americans wanting to give up their citizenship, the department is reducing the cost from $2,350 to $450. The change is effective April 13. The cost is now the same as it was when the State Department first started charging Americans to formally renounce their citizenship in 2010. The fee was raised in 2015 to cover administrative expenses for the lengthy process, as the number of people wanting to renounce their citizenship surged in part due to new U.S. tax reporting requirements for American expatriates that angered many.
