Back from a week in Cuba and I have this song stuck in my head. (Funny tangent about how things come around – a good friend of mine was a big fan of the Buena Vista Social Club when they exploded in the mid-to-late 1990’s.  But at the time, I was too much into pretty standard […]

[Edit: Corrected title of post to say “…Draw Dicks Is American Hero” instead of “Draw Dicks In American Hero” which is a totally different meaning!] Funny story about a brilliant runner who chooses routes that end up displaying as drawings of penises when mapped online.
