If you’re a big Beatles fan and know the stories behind what inspired many of their songs, you’ll get lots of laughs out of these re-imagined titles. Some examples: Cheer the Fuck Up, Julian (Hey Jude) Please Please Just Give Me A Blowjob (Please Please Me) A bunch of weird shit because we want people […]
Last year, I capped my week-long Freedom to Read Week series with a post where I mentioned that Pace had written his name for the first time ever.
