Now That’s A Lucky Boy

Picture this. A three-year-old kid somehow gets out of his apartment at 3 a.m. and wanders into the street wearing only a diaper. It’s cold out. He ends up on a traffic island.

These People Aren’t Smokin’ In The Brains Department

Most of this article was pretty uninteresting. It said that a lot of women in West Virginia smoke while pregnant.

I Have No Idea What To Call This Post

Happy Monday to everybody. I hope you’re all having a good day, and I hope you’re keeping cool if it’s hot where you are. It’s hot here, that I know for sure. Canadian weather is just fucking weird, there’s no other way to describe it. A few days ago we were treated to some beautiful …
