The Week That Just Passed


This week people slept on us so badly it's downright criminal. It's the holiday season and people are running around exhausted, but sometimes you gotta treat yourself.

Today I'm suggesting you revisit every post from the past week. Not to be on our own dicks, but we went in. Feel free to point us to a blog doing it better. -- Thun
