It’s early and I haven’t had much caffeine, but I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on at PPP. It was enough excitement there to generate over 600 comments at the end of August. I guess they had to latch onto something.

It was great to see Happy Meal invited to the Canadian camp and then such a downfall on the next link to see them saying he doesn’t have a chance in hell. One commenter was on Mac’s side though.

Your title for the links this time is a perfect choice...

Because my Tuesday’s with Hildy is a good contrast to that this week.

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

That’s gotta be similar to something KSK does . . . “o he gon’ DRANK!”
