Before we break out the fan gush and conspiracy theories, Hurley-size congratulations to long-time reader Sara who defied the Island and had a baby during the break. Of course, she didn’t take my suggestions and name the baby “Ji Yeon” or “Benry”. Way to go, Sara! Now, you know we’re […]

Half-Ass CD Review(s): Comedy Round Up (April 22)
