The most fantastic comic ever.

November 4th, 2000 · No Comments · Observations, Review

So, it’s not much of a secret to most people that I’m going through a second

November 1st, 2000 · No Comments · Uncategorized

My co-workers conspired against me today, collecting $37 to force me to get
up on stage and belt out karaoke tunes for our annual charity event.
