Ninja Bank Robbers no Match for One Super Talented Cop 2008-03-12 16:19:37 I guess this video has been around a while but it’s new to me and it made me laugh so I thought I’d share it with you.

The main reason I won’t do another one is because most of my readers are NOT bloggers and when they see something like [...] Read more:Tagged
Bad LSD Trip with a Talking Hot Dog 2008-04-29 21:56:45 When I was a kid the principal of my school would periodically gather us all up and show us anti-drug films.
