The Internet

2008-11-26T16:30:00.000-08:00

Thunder? Blue Hawks' Jersey? Huh?

2008-11-10T18:53:00.000-08:00

The picture at left confused me earlier today. It also made me realize that knowing Chico Lind's real name is Jose is now meaningless and that I may have wasted the years of 1987-1999. Officially out of touch.
