If you like playing Flash games, that's the site for you.

Anybody have any idea who #1 in the top row is?

Sweet Jesus, I've got 72 free songs from the Pepsi contest, thanks to some friends sending me all their codes. What to buy... What to buy...

Maybe some Rockin' Veggies...

Like many of you, I have been compelled by recent events to prepare a more detailed advance directive dealing with end-of-life issues. Here's what mine says:

* In the event I lapse into a persistent vegetative state, I want medical authorities to resort to extraordinary means to prolong my hellish semi existence. Fifteen years wouldn't be long enough for me.
