Little did I know, this night would etch a memory in my mind under the category of "That was embarrassing."

Rick Henry ChristopherPublished 3 days ago in Beat Was Frank Zappa CIA?
One aspect about living in these exciting modern times that I still find surprising, regardless of how often I'm reminded that I should not, is how often "conspiracy theorists" are proven correct. Both on the left and the right, the things which lived in the shadows no longer do, and have the sunlight of citizen journalism and social media exposing much of what they do. On the flip side of that, you see how far they go to cover up other things as well; while the information may be out of reach, their efforts to keep the public at large knowing the reality of various situations, from aliens to islands, are not.

Who is sing? Chellange to you?
The worst part about being an amateur necromancer is that no one respects you, not even the dead. My older brother, Joseph, is practically crying over the phone, struggling to speak through great gasps of heaving, wheezing laughter. After way too many seconds of this, he finally manages to choke out, “Really? Goddamn—Mountain Dew?”

Strangely Groovy
Introduction In the story below Caroline Jane did an Oliver Twist and asked for more. This is it. I wasn't to sure how to write something new and interesting about music. Caroline and I are fans of Nigel Blackwell and Half Man Half Biscuit, so I will try to include something from them in here but I hope that everyone discovers at least one thing they didn't know when they read this piece.
