OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Flann O'Brien - anyone read this one? Fucking weird ass book. Almost done with it but I can see why they included it in an episode of Lost.

I read this about twenty years ago, and sort of enjoyed it - but you're right, it's pretty absurd, and I certainly wouldn't read it again.

It was strange how the prologue basically explained in no uncertain terms what I had just read. No open ends, there.

This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.
