Fifty, baby! It’s all about me.

It is a bit of a running joke in my family, that around the holidays, whenever someone asks what I would like, I always tell them “Cindy Crawford” or “Julia Roberts”. How I’ve managed to make it this long without receiving a life size cutout or blow-up doll of one Continue Reading
“Americans are a broad-minded people. They’ll accept the fact a person can be an alcoholic, a dope fiend, a wife beater, but if a man reads comics then there’s something wrong with him” — Author Unknown
Thong-Wearing Teens Kicked Out Of Dance Oy. When uptight morals collide with sexual casualness in one person, it all goes so terribly wrong.

"You weren’t alive during the Microsoft conflict. We were beating each other with our own severed limbs."
I find it extremely disturbing that not only are there people still using Netscape and Explorer versions 3 to view my web site, there were actually a couple people using Lynx and NCSA Telnet. If you don’t know what they are, that should tell you something. And we wont disccuss Continue Reading

Bringing you tommorrow’s headlines today: The Caspian Sea. The next big story, (assuming the planes stay in the air).
