Last year, we went to a big to-do at one of the local restaurants for Cinco de Mayo. I remember the beginning of the evening and the Folkloric Dancers, and these big giant three-foot long plastic glasses with margaritas inside. After that, I’m sure the evening was fun. This year, my tribute to the day …
So, Is That, Like, While They’re Driving?

Hold Still While I Tie Your Skates — *OW!*

To You, Baldrick, The Renaissance Was Just Something That Happened to Other People, Wasn’t It?

Get The Red Out
Just a quick note to let you guys know that Mr. Red Eye wasn’t at his post this morning. And I was all primed for it, too. Maybe tomorrow. Another quick thing about more evil in the world of food. Some of you are aware that I have a desk drawer known as “The Land …
