GnR review

“A song like “Shackler’s Revenge” is initially average, until you get to the solo—then it becomes the sonic equivalent of a Russian robot wrestling a reticulating python.”

Brian: What I don’t understand is that Zorro is able to be totally stealthy… yet he’s wearing spurs. Its, like, dude. All this would be so much easier without the jingly accessories.

Favorites and About.
Author: mike d.
Oct 31st

Dearest Readers,

I want to vamp up two sections of this website. The first is ‘favorite posts.’ If you look at the bar on the left and scroll down you’ll come to a list of favorite posts. Do any of you have any favorite posts that you think I should include in the list?

The second section is the About me page. Right now it’s passable, but not awesome. It definitely needs new photos. Any other suggestions?

Rock,
Mike D.

When searching for grills and grill accessories, I came across a part known as a ‘flavorizer bar’. What is it and how does it make my steak more delicious?
Thanks.
