Allergies can suck my dick and other impromptu thoughts

I’m dying here, folks.  Okay, not really dying, per se, but really miserable.  The Goldenrods are blooming and that means that I am sick.  Not like the “call the hospital and provide me the last meal” kind of sick or even the “I feel totally justified in laying around in my pajamas all day and [...]

Doing a big time happy dance over here.

Of course, that explains it!
