The rest, alas, is history.

Was Hatchet Man the greatest television series ever? Each week at the end of this notorious TV show, quaint and sentimental characters were abruptly massacred by a hatchet-wielding masked man.

Bogus quotes, badly-treated lambs, the abomination of the Donald and now someone has stolen leftovers from the company fridge. Don’t worry. There’s always Shredded Ralstons. It's full of that cowboy energy. You'll be just fine.
