Play-By-Play Commentary

Leery Tim Leary Is Leering At Veerle

Oh man. Jesus has a mouth on him. And perhaps an Oxycontin hookup, as well. Spend forty days in the desert you're bound to have an unfortunate run-in with a cactus.

Actually from the looks of things, that's no ordinary cactus, that's peyote. Peyote by the way is one of the four prinicipal deities of the indigenous Huichol of central Mexico. Our little logo baby chick Jesus has a new name and that name is "Tao Jreeku, the Sun God."

I totally knew all of that without looking it up.

Also, I believe the proper curse word euphemism is "f*@#." I'm just a stickler about that kind of thing. Also when you negate something by drawing a circle and then putting a line through it, the line should go from northwest to southeast. And don't say cement when you mean concrete.

It's relentless and helpful comments like these that caused my wife to fall in love with me.
