"I handed him a cigarette packet. He opened it, took out a cigarette and put it between his lips. He then reached out his hand again and I gave him the matches; to my astonishment he took one out of the box, struck it, lit the cigarette, and threw the box back down on the table."

So it has begun, and once again good luck to all, and Paulson's definitely got the right idea in choosing the Camels/Parliaments.

A couple things, quickly. First, anyone who hasn't done so needs to read this. Chuck Klosterman is blogging the Superbowl for ESPN, and so far it has been magnificient.

I wonder just how many out there are blogging about the State of the Union? I will not fall victim to such trivial things. I'm all about the Wild getting housed, the European place I'm struggling for with Bolton in FM and funny ESPN site parodies, like this and this.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go tease my longish hair to flip up in the back, cementing my status as a "stand up guy and one hell of a skate sharpener"*

This post is fucked and I can't change it, no matter how hard I try. How stupidly foolish of me to assume I could use different size fonts in the same post... It seems like you can... I even see it as I want as I type this, shit, here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing right now. Once I hit publish though, boom, everything is fucked. Fuck this. I quit.
