>Sorry, but I am addicted to the Internet. You know how I know I have a problem? I ALMOST downloaded (bought) the theme to Flash Gordon by Queen. Seriously.

I will come over to your home and yell at you to clean your filthy house. Look at those baseboards! What the heck is that under the bed? Have you moved… Read more »

>What was that again???

      No Comments on >What was that again???

>Have you heard about people confusion articles from the parody newspaper, the Onion, as being sincere, real articles? Honestly, I didn’t think people could be that stupid. I’ve seen screen captures of reactions on Facebook to Onion articles, but again, I thought that was a joke. Come on…are people THAT dumb? Often, I hear real news stories that seem so… Read more »
