It was as fine an act of mental prestidigitation as I'd ever witnessed, a card trick without a deck of 52, an insightful sleight of hand using only the mind. Or ... just a lucky guess. Either way, I...Shirts and secrets: the best band you've never heard of (but should have)
It is one of my favorite possessions, obtained from ebay for the obscenely inexpensive price of $10a bargain, considering that I have yet to see another like it.

Misc. Monday 07-30-12 - Send him to Kinston
This is going to be short and sweet.There are two things that are incredibly wrong with our Cleveland Indians. The first thing being that our ownership refuses to address the right-handed power bat we need.
