BACKBLASTS

So I’ll write my normal Frisco style HIDA BB below but after seeing Half do something at the office today I decided to put some HIM stuff first. As Half was walking down the hall he noticed a hair on the ground behind him and quickly ran back to check to see if it was one of his (it wasn’t). Still he picked it up and dropped it in a small golden case he carries. [Read More]

Do you have a favorite restaurant that you go to? If you do, you know that waiter whose section you sit in all the time? You know his name and he knows your name.
