V. bad things

Jason and a whole crew of friends are in Vegas this weekend celebrating an upcoming wedding, and I decided that our relationship is significant enough to require some communcation about the expectations of his behavior. It could go without saying, but I’d rather be explicit about these things.

Don’t kill any hookers.

Damen Stop

This was like a bazillion years ago, but I haven’t blogged in so long, I kind of forget how it goes.

Jason feels that this image looks like a pile of body parts. I will refer you to a different picture to gauge the cuteness of Skitty. Skitty, whole
