Canuckastan to Invade Vermont.

Okay, let me explain. No, too much, let me sum up:

Grandad launched an ICBM at Chicago due to a Canadian spammer that wasn’t.
In retaliation, Sixty arranged to divert the defunct spy satellite clobbering missile and have it blow up a bog in Ireland.

I shall now retire to my wife’s quilt shop and help her close up. I also wish to gaze upon the holiday [...] Read more »

Tags and Categories-Tagged Again! Part II

Required reading: Tags and Categories-Tagged Again! Part I
Many thanks to Grandad. This absolutely horrendous, disjointed post is all his fault but he’ll probably blame it on K8.
