I Vote for “Emergency Backup Earth”

Sons of Poetry

In which Robert Browning gets pwnd.

Honestly?  I almost wish it had happened this way . . .

Or keeping up with Kermit.

Unless you’re Steve Martin.

oooooooooooooooOOOOOooooooooooooooo

Police Geeks

If you need me, I’ll be in the ditch over there, waiting for a tow and giggling.

oooooooooooooooOOOOOooooooooooooooo

 Badass Librarians are Badass
