    Firstly, this is great.

    But more importantly, “WEAKE Gay”? I feel that in my soul. That’s my spirit animal right there.

      Before the internet there were phonebooks for your city and/or region which listed household and business phone numbers among other info. This is where the term “yellow pages” came from which was the section for businesses categorized by type of business (“crime fighting” here) .
