I’m asking y’all for a favor. Motley Crue vs. Poison. This should be a no-brainer. Yet somehow, Poison seems to have a lot of support. Who was the better band? Hey, I’m not saying I don’t like Poison, but The Crue fucking ROCKED, whereas Poison… pranced. I don’t know. Am I a snob? I don’t [...]

We always washed dishes in pairs. My younger sister, my younger brother, and I actually had a schedule posted on the refrigerator — whose turn was when. This way, we could barter and trade if we needed a day off for some type of event. I was the oldest at age 11, but I had [...]
