Don't Rock the Bote*
Kids and fools I think, that’s who have it best. Maybe drunks too, but only the happy drunks, not the, “I could have rock hard abs if you ever paid attention to me, Janine, instead of constantly taking me for granite,” kind of drunks. Happy drunks are fun and usually approach all situations with a clean slate.
It’s all too hard you know; all of it ( Read more... ) -
I do this for the pun of it.
“My name? Oh, Skipper Brian, First name ‘Skipper’, last name ‘Brian’ and I’ll be your…”
“Skip, got it,” she said, casually ignoring my dramatics.

Merry Exorcistmas!
Okay, I think I’ve got it. I’ve got a scary story for you. Well, scary depending on how you see it. Like I think if you look at it the right way, it’s scary. So look at it like, “AH SO SCARY!” I mean it’s not like you’re going to need an exorcist or anything. Though, those are fun. Mother Mary and I had a poltergeist one Christmas and needed a ( Read more... )
