I think the most triumphant victory that ever ensconced itself into the very fibers of the American flag waver was the economic embargo in place against Cuba since 1962.

When I was snot-nosed, bone-prone high-schooler, I used love to get my party on. When the house parties were scarce, it was pretty typical to find teen orgies of booze and herb consumption in places that teens do it best…public.

That is, unless he’s using a power tool to polish said […]

The Green Computer from Design Hara almost embodies that phrase…in body only, perhaps (seen above with keyboard from La Chae Homme). Critics have argued that just because this computer’s casing is made from wood, […]
