About Me

-I just saw the Pogues in Chicago. Shane MacGowan makes Keith Richards sound uber-intelligible...yet the show was great.
-You can stay the hell away from me if you're cooking beets.
-Enjoy comparing drunken impressions of Bill Cosby saying the names of all the Cosby kids w/ other folk.
-Would like to date a girl named Zuzu. Not any Zuzu in particular. I just like the name.
-Would've been named Ada Jane had I been a lovely lady. Instead, I'm a lovely lad in a band by the name of Ada Jane. Visit the link below, yo!!
-My uncle, Roy, was an umpire in a game that Satchel Page pitched.
