have you forgotten
about everyone’s favorite alaskan family, the palins, too? i sure did, despite the whole quarter of a million dollar wardrobe thing, the bizarre name choices, and the fact that sarah would have been the first lady vice prez. ANYWAY, it appears that bristol is riding the family’s fame train and selling her baby pictures to people for a cool 300,000 bucks. honey, we know that you and...

sleep city
I want/need to assemble some kind of sleeping space for myself. The whole sleeping bag and leaking air mattress are not cutting it. So you know what that means, time for bed porn, kiddies!

Manager: Did you have any questions?

While quite certainly a novel concept, I’m struck with how people can take the idea of drinking alcohol out of a container that is supposed to be used for baby formula and turn it into a hip thing. Seems like a good idea for those with mommy issues or anyone who likes sucking on rubber nips I suppose. What’s next, drinking a white russian out of a gas can, no?
