Prior to reading any of the reviews for this film, let me offer my unvarnished review, adulterated only by a couple of dirty gibsons.
One of the things that I love about me and the fiancee (who I have previously referred to as Lady J) is that despite our completely disparate taste in books (me: sci-fi, [...]

Kickass Cupcakes
February 7th, 2009 · 2 Comments
Now, Hoffa is usually TellHimFred’s resident food critic, but I’m going to take a stab at a review here. See, after a long night of general mayhem, I dropped Hoffa off at his place and decided to check out Kickass Cupcakes in Somerville. I was impressed. I was very impressed.

the unexpected concert experience
February 6th, 2009 · No Comments
Where was your first concert experience? This is a question you could answer with some detail, right? I mean, come on, this is a real memory for all of us, right?

To be cool, the candidate [...]

Hey Fredders. No, my face isn’t sore. Cutty had the opportunity to haul off and whack me one, and because our significant others were looking on at the time, he wimped out and gave me a love tap. All I can say is I wouldn’t have been so generous. But to each his own.
