This… happened about ten feet from where Luke, Sire of the Cuteness, works downtown. He writes: News crews were floating around all day, asking us if we had security cameras in the alley. We don’t, but I guess someone did. Pretty scary!! I’m still trying to figure out what’s so scary about news crews or security cameras, but I’m sure I’ll get to the bottom of it. Read more

Just wanted to let you know that Granny passed away this afternoon at 12:30. My mom and the nurse were giving her a sponge bath and she breathed her last.

Today, my toadies, minions, suckups, and groveling lackeys, I feel as though I have finally found the article that best expresses what it is I, Your Dark Lord, am trying to accomplish by sending you off on missions of pointless busy work.
