So…what happened to Cheshire?

So…if you’ve been following this blog, you’ve probably noticed a distinct lack of posts. I wrote about this two posts ago, but I figured I’d share some details. For the past year, I’ve been trying to get into a graduate school. My grades are excellent-I’m one of the top in my class…it’s been a solid [...]

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 [...]

An Open Letter to the Iowa State Legislature

Best day ever…

I hate Garfield with a burning passion because Jim Davis has managed to recycle ~half a dozen jokes over the past half century with the majority of his readers completely unable to detect this. It also happens to be one of the few comic strips which actually becomes much better once the main character is [...]
