It's a horrible day outside. The snowfall that started after midnight has turned into a hateful combination of rain and frozen ice. As such, myself, the wife and the little kids are cooped up in our apartment, which is a recipe for blood-splattered disaster. When we could no longer tolerate the shrill punishments of hearing "Dora the Explorer" and "Go, Diego, Go" bleating out of our television ...

Where is my bravery?Since the 'No MOG Week' began I have felt both sides had something to say.One camp is frustrated. Frustrated by a site that they love so much not living up to expectations. I can live with that. I can't tell you how many times I have composed something only to see it vanish when I hi...

Hands down, I think this could be my favorite Echo and The Bunnymen song. I don't want to lose friends over this or that war. It started with Funk Wars. I was up against Hyman, Trane, B42, Justin Oatmeal, and Cody B. All good opponents, but I don't want to cheese anyone off when it comes to my idea of Funk.Same goes for the combatants in Punk Wars. I had 2 posts to go and now I am giving up. So...
