Fart jokes never get old. Just ask Howard Stern. meh.

The PPP folks are awesome. Says on their website they’ve raised $2K (I’m guessing Canadian) and counting for Haiti relief. Out-fucking-STANDING job by those folks!

Thanks to every Blues fan that came out to spam the crap out of those threads. I still have vertigo from hitting ‘Z’ so often!

The new Kings blog looks like a nod toward Pink Floyd

If it is, I like it.

Kings still suck, but the Pink Floyd thing is cool.

Why aren’t we doing one…throw it together! I suggest a swearing for Haiti fundraiser. If its possible, I suggest banning swearing for two weeks. People cannot swear during that time unless they donate $10 or something like that (I would figure out how to do this but I am not THAT computer savvy).
