So, I was taking my lunch in the company breakroom. The TV was showing this improv program in which celebrities are inserted into scenes they’ve never rehearsed. It’s called “Thank God You’re Here.” I’m thinking it was probably summer rerun. The program was mildly amusing. There’s one segment, however, in which Shannon Elizabeth, that master [...]

I check out my referral logs obsessively. Usually, I’m more concerned about links from other Websites, but today I noticed a search engine hit from The Islamic Republic of Iran.
