For years I have walked by the “steel cut oats” bin at the grocery store and thought that they need to modernize that stuff. It’s the 21st century. They should be using lasers. Those should be laser cut oats. It seems that very soon I will be a step closer to my dreams: laser etched … Continue reading Laser cut oats

You’ll also note that “debauchery” is a nice vague word … Continue reading A night of debauchery at Ron Jeremy’s sex club
