Not safe for work. Hell, I’m not sure this is safe period. If you take your blood in bucket sized doses, well, then this might just be for you.

Date night with the wife! We trucked down to fun town (Ybor) to catch dinner and a show. Dinner was a disappointment. I ordered the grouper sandwich and the wife and I are fairly certain that it was whitefish. SO, a lot was riding on the movie. I wanted an [...]

“A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints” is a dark gritty movie with an emotional heft that goes right between the old uprights.
