The cartographers at Google estimate a distance of 3,462 miles for this swim, the equivalent of 55,738 laps in an Olympic […]

One of the best things about an 80’s childhood (vol.1)

April 25th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Like most guys I’m a sucker for stupid stuff that I used to love when I was a kid, like BMX bikes, Skateboards, and other crap that make me pine for the days of carefree summers and sleeping in, where my biggest problem was having to mow the lawn . Nostalga seems to always strike […]

April 24th, 2007 · No Comments

Why not treat yourself to some chuckles by Chikles? You deserve it. TV’s equivalant of comfort food, The Commish, has been off the air for nearly 12 years now but that won’t be a problem since at my last count three season were currently available on DVD.
