I admit, I spend a lot of time in Azeroth.

(Editor's Note: I realize Colette usually handles these arts n' crafts type posts, but she's spending the week on the Champs-Élysées educating French orphans on the dangers of intrauterine devices. Those lil' rascals manage to stick those things everywhere! — Nex)

Look I drink…
so that makes getting behind the wheel a blast. For some reason, the police don't seem to find it very funny at all. I am not saying that I condone drinking and driving. I am only saying that getting drunk and then driving is really fun. It is also a great way to […]
