The King of Johnson County

'allo lads,

I've realized that I set the book club date for the 23rd of February, and only those in attendance at Swen's realize this. So, I'm making it public. Here's a Google Map.

Many of you know that I've recently inherited my parents' house, so drunkenly marching down the street with flaming torches to demand an expanation from the author of this month's book as to why such bilge was ever allowed to be printed is probably out. We could still drive to said author's house, but the flaming torches may go out in the car. All that aside, I'll do my best to have reasonable sitting places for you all, but I'll ask your forgiveness or sympathy when you see the sheer amount of shit that is in this house.

Righto. I realize that anything that's posted on this blog is freely searchable through Google, so I'll privately send address/ telephone information in an email later.

I didn't realize I had left he blog open to the public. It is now set so it can only be read by the authors. I would still refrain from threats against the government because the NSA probably knows how to get around blogspot security.
