Started by Famous Author Rob, joined by Michele, and inspired by Kottke, I bring to you my participation in this not-so-fun game. Nail clippers I have one nail clipper in my home.

For those of you who do not know him, this is Trey Givens. I’ve had my dose of gratuitous… Continue reading this entry
Karaoke time

Michele has a song roundup to which we can all sing to regarding Dick Clarke. Gawd, why do scandals last for a shorter time now that blogging is up and about? (Hat tip: Ian.)
FCC Alert
