I shall call it “Oh, Crap” and file it under “Destruction.” Though, I’m tempted to call it “Money We Shall Be Deducting From A Certain Child’s College Fund.” But you can just refer to it as “THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BASTIEN … Continue reading →

Check us out. Front page, baby! Can you spot us? It’s a little Where’s Waldo, I know. But now you can say you know famous people. That is all.
