Lingerie Lurches Forward

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Steve here. Sorry for my long absense, but I signed my organ donar card a while back and the organ people came looking for everything I only had one of, so I had to go underground. I worked at the Complaint’s Department of a major retailer, posing as someone who gave a rat’s ass. It […]

The Code To The Dark Side In All Of Us

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Henry here. All great stories are about journeys and on those journeys is a battle between good and evil. Evil seems to be present everywhere. We often wonder if the heroes are going to battle through to victory or if they will be defeated by the negative force.

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

What he has done is write a fairly good mystery full of a rather silly mixture of “facts.” What makes it spectacularly successful is the way he […]
