Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Our old pal the Shoe Thief asked if I could do him a favour, and who am I to say no to that guy? I don’t think we’ve mentioned it before here, but as of last summer, he’s engaged! To a girl! And she’s real! They haven’t set a date yet, but here’s where we …
