The Dulcet Tones of Snow Removal

Dear Digidiary, My goodness, gracious it’s a frackin’ awesome day to be alive. Specifically in my neck of the wilderness.

Jesus Crust and Other Historical Figures

Dear best friend(s), I owe you a thousand apologies. I’ve only got a couple hundred to offer, so you’ll have to hold out for the rest. I’m sorry a million times over for not writing since the ascension of Barack Hussein Obama to the U.S. throne of destiny. Once he was elected, I momentarily lost [...]
