About Me

I think that the best snack food to complement beer is cold cuts.

How it's done. The last step is the most important.

Knocking over the matriarch of some tired-ass southern family into the jello-mold which is always negotiated in the shape of a chrysanthemum, we may then make our way to the bar. Again. Two more Cutty...
