Children love toys. …

I mentioned a dog. Folk are posting pictures of their dogs. I just got a nice one of mine, from my mom. Please also note other important Chucklehut props: the red soob, the greenbelt…

This site shows me why it’s not enough just to be a musician if you want to be a sexy, hunky chunk of loveable manmeat. Even if you can…

Today I got 17 pieces of spam, which is far from a record. It’s pretty average, really, for me. But instead of deleting it all site unseen (see that’s an internet pun, very subtle…

I just got an email asking me if I wanted to be listed in a webbrowsing system called “globalsubmit." I said yes. Let’s face it, I’m…
