I realize that I’ve been remiss in posting video links lately. Lets fix that right now, starting with: He Man does 4-non-blondes

To roughly quote Jedi Mind Trick, it’s like “hating necrophiliacs for fucking the dead.” When you go read the touching story on the following link, don’t forget to see all the comments:
Grief – Barn Swallows

Warning: I will most likely be automatically RBFing every white Toyota that passes, just on principle.
