Over the years, the Lunch Gang have matured (somewhat) to the point where we’re talking about politics. Now, according to LG-Policy No. LG84716238 “Under NO circumstances are politics to ever be discussed at the Lunch Gang table which can only lead to bad feelings and misinterpretations”. But today was an exception based on the screwing we’re all going to get on Proposal 12-6. Somehow the numbers don’t add up on who’s paying for what. Like the ole’ stats professor (not to be confused with The Professor) there’s No FREE Runch! We the people are getting screwed either way.

In the continuing Prizing winning novels like “No Ink / No Gravy”, Lunch Gang publications have hit another story out of the park with “The Cilantro Mysteries”
The Cilantro Mysteries is based on a 1977 small town story that Jimmy Hoffa was really not missing but living in Dearborn Heights on Culver Street.
The story is told through the perspective of Buddy Culver, who is reminiscing about the summer of 1977. Buddy and his pals have several misadventures, including a trip to the pool, where Buddy Culver, who can't swim, deliberately jumps off at the deep end, to get his lifeguard crush Wendy Peffercorn to rescue him, and he kisses her during mouth to mouth, which although it results in a permanent ban from the pool, it cements Buddy Culver and Wendy's relationship. But the summer of 1977 was more than getting a little kiss from Wendy; it was about the man who claims to be the brother of Jimmy Hoffa moved into neighborhood that Buddy lived in. One afternoon, Buddy and Dugger watch decided to jump on their bikes to watch Pete Hoffa move into this small, off the road house….
