I don’t generally delete comments, and I think I have banned under ten people since this website was started (half of whom I then let back after a few weeks), but one idiot I have banned repeatedly, he keeps coming back with a new IP, I ban him again, rinse and repeat. I have decided, …
Out of My Bunker
So the Steelers managed to somewhat salvage (congrats, Hines!) what was otherwise an awful weekend here, and by awful, I mean the entire town is just shocked, disgusted, and depressed. Going from the possibility of a National Championship to nothing just really kinda dampens the mood of the town. Oh well. At any rate, I …
