No Cuts, No Butts, No Coconuts
I have no love for sea creatures, but I’m much more bummed out about Sludgie the whale dying than any of this crazed Korean business (though reading “Richard McBeef” did suck a few minutes of […]
He’s Not My Grandpa. He’s My Dad.
It’s incredibly rare that I like a New York Times headline but this one was good enough to let it stand alone. Today’s style section (so fashionable, knocking up much younger brides) article is rife […]
