Well, it’s grim times folks. Grim times indeed. The Phoenix Pub, creator of Last Call and serious influence of TGB, is thinking of shuttering their doors. So this place, and Avoiding The Drop, will be your home for Last Call if it is in fact to continue. It’s a sad day indeed. I wish those folks the best and offer them this humble site to write whatever their brains might concoct if the shuttering does go down. Speaking of all this stuff, do you folks want to see the Last Call post continue on or would you like to see us put our efforts elsewhere.

A few things I would like to mention before getting started today. First of all, our resident guy who stands too close to the ficus, Gimp, welcomed his lovely daughter to the world last night. It’s a good thing she looks like her mother. Secondly, as you may have noticed, we’ve added a couple new writers to the staff. Most of you all know White Speed Receiver, Chubs K Gun and PJDiaries of Purple Jesus Diaries. If you don’t know those guys, say hi. They’re pretty solid people. Lastly, we’re expanding. Yeah, that’s right, expanding for our loyal audience of 12. While this site will remain primarily focused on sports and dick jokes, we will be folding other things into the fold. This, for example.
