Apparently, there are still some people out there who are using OS/2 Warp.

He was always such a quiet guy. You never would have suspect anything. Goes to show, they look just like everyone else.

Woohoo! Now you can Rent A Priest! Dial 1-800-PRIEST-9 now!

Man, I know what I’m doing this weekend.

I’m found out. I definitely have a foot fetish. Specifically, an unescapeable urge to own a pair of zippered combat boots. Check out ALTAMA Footwear’s site for more neato military boots.

Much to my delight (and to the dispair of my friends), I have discovered a band possibly more irritating than Cibo Matto:

The best way to describe Coin’s music is to imagine locking yourself inside a videogame arcade for a whole Saturday, with all the machines on “Free-Play”, while a horde of Ritalin-doped Cub Scouts wage life-or-death Joust tournaments.
