Hello? Hey, I’m Glad You Called. Can I Borrow Some Money?
There’s nothing all that special aboutthis story,but I chuckle every time I read it and it happened locally so I figure that counts for something. Plus I have a mental picture of a person who thinks that he’s more important than the rest of the world and it’s nice to see folks like that get …

Back at the beginning of the year, I talked about the roundabout dance ad campaign. I got thinking today that I should put up the mp3 of the song for two reasons: 1. the song is catchy, and 2. the words scare the hell out of me. So, may I have this roundabout dance? Do …
