Speed on Cheetah
The Sunday before last (December 21, 2008), my cousin Lee and his wife Lianne were over at our apartment for a bit of a game night. The game of choice is a particular favorite of Lindsey’s, and, after that night, a particular favorite of mine as well. The game we played is called Loaded Questions (http://www.loadedquestions.com/loadedquestions.html), a question and answer style board game....[Read More]
Merry Chrismeh!
No, this is not some cute way to wish you a Merry Christmas by mixing my name and the site name. Christmas was four days ago, anyway. However, I find myself in a situation where I am able to use this pun as of very recently (this afternoon, to be more precise), and I would be remiss in letting the opportunity pass by.

Unfortunately, or rather, fortunately, her finger slipped near the end, and she managed to navigate not to the World of Meh, but the World of Men (a rather lovely site...[Read More]
First!
Hi there! My name, as you could probably tell from my username, is Chris. My co-conspirator in this venture is my lovely soon-to-be wife, Lindsey. If you are reading this while it is still relevant as the first post of this new site, then it is our pleasure to inform you that, if you would be so kind as to check back regularly, you will be treated to a great deal of poignant commentary on societ...[Read More]
