If Houston Astros fans are an actual species that exists in the wild, I would like to apologize to them for not getting to this before now. I would especially like to apologize if any of them are the type to enjoy a cold, refreshing snow cone at the game now and then. After watching …

Trixie and Tansy Meet, And We Get Video

Hi. It’s me. You know, the one who never writes anymore? I have a metric boatload of ideas for posts. Who knows how many I’ll get through…but here goes. I’d said a while back that Trixie and Tansy had met, and the meeting wasn’t the most wonderful. Well, they’ve since had 2 more meetings, and …

Interesting Premise: The User Is Drunk
