The Smug Baldy Speaks

The other day I was thinking how awesome it would be if everything revolved around me. Seriously, if I were the center of the universe, then all problems - worldly and otherworldly - would take a back seat to my own. When I moved, I would move the universe. When I shake, [...]

We are in the process of moving the Smug Baldy Speaks to a new host, since our old host was apparently doing some shady business. It turns out that the old host, who I won’t name, sent a letter to all of its customers saying,
