guess who's back?

yeah, me. i left the rest of the animal club in pittsburgh to tend to matters fiscal and artistic here in chicago. among those matters is this blog, and the other blog i contribute to. i know what you're thinking...doesn't pittsburgh have the internet? actually, no. pittsburgh is a federally designated "information free zone", where the internet doesn't exist. apparently you can't determine the internet's intellectual and cultural effect without a control, so one brave city had to volunteer to be internet free to see just how far behind it can get. if there's one thing pittsburghers are famous for, it's our inability to back down from a dare. the fed knew this, so the legislation was phrased like so:

"i bet you fags can't go ten years without the internet."

and we were unable to de-acquiesce. besides, who needs the internet when you have three rivers?
