in DC: the sounds of hot monkey lovin’
I was up early and decided I needed to shift my ass and take a walk through the zoo. When I map it out, it comes to about 3 miles through and back which may not sound like a long...

Long uttered joke finally in t-shirt form
Unfortunately I am no longer buying geek t-shirts that only come in black, even though there seem to be plenty available as only the X(XX)L size ever sells out. Also I don’t play CCGs and anywhere I wore it here...
Economo-Stimulo Powers, Activate!
Fredo already mentioned one store giving back 10% extra if you cash/spend your economic stimulus check there. The Bargainist just came out with an updated list of ways to get more with your check including retailers giving bonuses, cashing the...
