Yes, I'm holding a shotgun and a beer. I have a self-consciously retro beard and I'm frowning.
Shout-out to Martin for leading me to South Park Studio.

Re: Bandwagon: Four Things
you should also be visiting http://www.somethingawful.com/fashion/ - particularly the tattoo swat
and truth dig
adult swim isn't a show but a lineup of adult oriented cartoons, of which Family Guy is one.
You need cable so you can watch Invader Zim.
Where did you go in Salvador? Ken went surfing there last year.
Where did you go in Fiji? We honeymooned in Savusavu (Namale resort)
Where did you eat in Paris?
What's so bad about being a "liberal?" Jesus was a liberal.
Are you going to ignore this message like you did my last email?
Re: Bandwagon: Four Things
Well, I don't make lists...and here are the top 3 reasons why. NO NO NO!!! So, why am I getting singled out for not being a geek and visiting those websites. Just 'cos I'm not a conformist who automatically has to be "with it" like the rest of you lemmings, doesn't make me odd. Plus, I'm in semi-retirement from blogging. It's becoming the Parachute pants of the 21st century (schizoid man ((i just had to work in a music reference there))). Blogging Bugaloo.
