Setting: Afternoon. Thunder is eating lunch as Tempest enters the room shaking her head.
Tempest: Okay, so…LeBron James?
Thunder: Yeah?
Te: He’s some kind of big deal?
Th: *blink* *blink* (slowly) Some people think so…
Te: Man, this guy’s all over the radio, the TV, the Intertubes…he’s…some kind of athlete, right? Basketball?

But…You Know…For a Fat Lady…
So here’s what I knew at this point: I’m sitting in a salon chair. I’ve already had my roots “refreshed” and my hair “glazed” and “cushioned” with special conditioner.

I can’t really continue to live with the old methods.

May is here! It’s Spring! Flowers! Birdies! Masturbation! (WHA?)

Not to gamble our hard-earned money, silly! There’s a depression recession - haven’t you read a newspaper lately!?
No, I’ve got a better idea…Let’s go visit this guy - I’ll bring the sledgehammer…
I love to help all the little kiddies with their history homework
Next week, President’s Day weekend, is when NY Mets pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training. I thought it was a good time, therefore, for us all to catch up on our Mets and Presidential history. I would need something special to capture the special nature of this important weekend, so I went to the source [...]
