Bring me a live cow over to the table! I’ll carve off what I want and RIDE THE REST HOME!
Monday, April 30th, 2007Thanks to Dennis Leary’s No Cure for Cancer for the title to this post (and for giving me a name for my category about food). I was just thinking about what I miss most about Louisiana. Being close to family, friends, yadda yadda. What I really miss are the burgers. Not that I eat a [...]

The evening started off on a good note, with a [...]

And I don’t really want to hear it from the Thom Yorke fanboys about how he [...]
