  • Quickies on Father’s Day!

    As I more-or-less said I was going to do, I celebrated Father’s Day by going to the local community theater and watching amateur actors talk about dicks.  You wouldn’t necessarily expect that from a community theater, but after watching a piece last year about a sperm donor bank which included plastic jars of suspiciously-viscous substances…
