Ass Transfer 2!: I don’t think we came this way last time
More tales of mystery and intrigue from the second annual road trip to Chapel Hill, North Carolina… The drive took us 16 hours this time. So much for a faster alternate route. We left on Thursday at about 9:15 and rolled in to Chapel Hill, North Carolina at 1 in the damn morning the following…

Review: TITANIC
The Ship of Dreams I remember very clearly that for about six or seven hours, Titanic was the best-kept secret in the world.
