    If I had a show on the Food Network, you would be premium Kosher sea salt and I would mix you with an antidote of cuteness, which you have too much of, and I would make the perfect baked thing.

    I do not believe she ever said anything of than that you needed to comb your hair, which is of course to cover up the I LOVE COCK tattoo, so it's understandable.
    Conversations usually went like this:

    Me: "I miss MattBates.
    "
    Rita: "He was a good kid. Needed to comb his hair.
    "
