Don't be surprised if'n we hear a hiss, a pop, and a couple kabooms. This is the work of Costas Becker! I'm sure he hates us, but does he "torch us to the ground" hate us? *reads letter left on Cletus' doorstep* "Dear Deadbeats, until my book is balanced, I will burn down everything you hold dear — along with a lot of stuff that you don't.
