The Year of My Socks, Two-Thousand and Eighteen
In a way, though, these are the perfect socks for such a missed occasion. The beer bottles are a nice call out to the event, but if you'll note, they are green bottles. And it's certified objective fact that green beer bottles are a terrible idea.
And on the tenth day, he did pick a pair of argyles again...
Cartoon Week continues with perhaps the most tragic character brought to life since the Bard gave us a pair of Star-Crossed Italians.

That said, there are clearly other factors than luck at play here. … Continue reading Considering That Cartoon Coyote

And that’s not specifically an indictment of my recent work … Continue reading 5 Things On My Mind Right Now

Oh, and, for the record, "middle-aged dude adventures" means having too much curry at … Continue reading Getting Busy And Old And Exploiting Taylor Swift Songs
