Wubba wubba dub dub…we’re sailing in this tub! My 16th anniversary gift to myself, a little pirate vessel, probably a pinnace or cutter used for short-range attacks, a 17th century version of what those Somalian pirates attack with but more sea … Continue reading →

Check out my Playmobil hippie!

Posted on November 12, 2014 by Steve

All she needs to be more authenticate is the stench of pachouli, dirtier feet and shitty tastes in music: usually jam bands like Phish and the Dead. Oh, I forgot, her Baby Boomer sense of entitlement and ability to stick everyone born … Continue reading →

Tiny Elvis gets three Kings on the Strip!
