I am dying laughing about Biz Nasty’s taste in music! I know people aren’t all just one thing, but I’d have expected something a little tougher from him.

Speaking of assaults on the ears, why did I listen to the Capitals rap? Why?

I love Down Goes Brown. When I stopped laughing at Bissonette as DJ, I laughed out loud again at that. Thanks. We need it.

And I’ll bet you’re feeling all vindicated about the Winter Classic, huh? ;-)
