Escaping Uganda

January 5, 2015 David Pratt 0

December 23, 2014 Kidman J. Williams 0

By: Kidman J. Williams It was around 1PM when Woody and I woke up in a post-drunken haze on my couch. I was awakened by the sadistic ramblings of Rachael Ray blaring through the speakers of my 55 inch plasma screen. Woody had been stirring for a minute or two […]
