ICP’s still around? WTF?

Insane Clown Posse was a group that was wildly popular when I was in 8th grade or so (well over a decade ago, now). They were mostly popular because it was something our parents hated. Their songs were full of drug refrences, cursing and all manner of evil like that. They were kind of my [...]

Homeopathy is Bullshit: Headlouse Edition!

I’m not particularly stressed out over the test, but I’ve still been studying my ass off for two days straight. I should be fine. So that’s not what I’m worried about. Unfortunately, I live about [...]
