on government legislation of religion…

H.O.V.A. God MCSo yesterday our nations highest court saw fit to deliver what amounts to kind of a at the very least surprising and at most rather controversial ruling.

POWERBALL!!! The REAL PowerballSo ever since the Powerball hit huge numbers, they’ve been running this Powerball pool at work.

I decided I couldn’t pass that up.…

Sinfest On the First Date. 3/22/2000So a few weeks ago, beststephi and I got into this conversation with atraxen and his girlfriend, Gabriella about the age old topic of “sex on the first date.” I had been meaning to put some thoughts down about that here ever since then.

Beating up on the bad guy The Gambinos and the Fans vs. po’wittle meso last night, at the years first IWC show, Troy Lords, after getting sick of listening to me and Shiima whine about being mistreated decided that maybe it’d be a good idea to jump up and kick me in the back of…

Lindsay Lohan before and after her excessive weight loss. Editor’s Note: Due to the serious subject matter presented here and the knowledge that some of the readers from which I seek information have suffered from this disease, I am going to attempt to be a little less venomous than usual. That said, I’m still me.…

End of the World Guy 2 Originally uploaded by chrismaverick.

Listening for a moment it became clear that this…
