The drug of numerous nations. If a post touches upon a subject that is germane to television, or discusses television itself, the post will be filed under here.
I will get this out of the way first. I hate Bill Cosby. I know that is a pretty strong statement to make about a person you have never met in person, so to speak. But disgust is a great description of what I feel whenever I see his image. Continue Reading
I consider place of birth and national identity to be two very different things (aww really, I hear you cry). But like a lot of people who lived in Assholia between the years of 1987 and 1994, I watched a lot of episodes of the situation comedy titled Hey Dad..! (The dots are apparently a part of the title.)

One of my favourite features of the WordPress system by some road is the ability to get a list of all of the search terms used that have led people to this journal. Some of the search times in the list raise an eyebrow, to say the least. One such search engine query in the list reads “images examine my pussy”. No, I am not making that up.
