Saturday Morning Factory of Sadness Links

I've developed a yearly ritual: a trip to Cleveland when the Ravens are in town, hang out with generous ticket-provider Nephilium and his girlfriend, and generally have a great time. This is irrespective of the Ravens winning or losing; the fans at Browns games are...

Sunday Morning Tales From Oberlin East Links
