Do you know what “nemesis” means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent… –Bricktop
Ron Jeremy once said of his life’s work, “Put a mirror under her nose and if I see fog, I’m going in.” There are some parallels here. If it hits a fly, I am going to cast to it without shame. When a gil or sunny hits a popper on a three-weight and turns its [...]
Reading my Sunday New York Times, I’m greeted with this advertisement on page 11. Whew, I was worried BP was going to try and sweep this under the carpet once it disappeared from the news cycle. I think they could have gone with some better photo choices though.
