If I hear one more person over-use, or even say the word ‘basically’ I really will crack up. What is it with the abuse and mis use of this word, eh!? Steph says it’s an Irish thing, and apparently I used to be a culprit of using basically as every second word (since replaced with [...]
The New Yorker arrested for keeping a fully-grown tiger in his fifth-floor apartment says he loves the beast and misses him terribly. Antoine Yates, 31, faces seven years in prison for reckless endangerment after Ming, the 400lb Siberian-Bengal tiger, was discovered.

However, working today is going to get me those places soon, so I suppose I can’t complain too much…just wait [...]
