Ooh whoa-oh whoa-oh-I…
Last night, I dreamed that Billy Connolly was a spokesman for Verizon, and he was out giving cellphones to special people. The one he gave me was soft matte black, and opened three ways. Very fancy. It also turned out to open into three layers. One layer was a QWERTY keypad, one was [...]

Moistening My Husk
