Now, so there is no confusion from the outset, I do not share his favourite flavour re: flesh (though if I did it probably would ... http://corsairsanchorage.com/corsair/2008/08/28/a-response-to-grooming/ photo credit: mdezemery For some reason the Auzentech Prelude X-Fi 7.1 soundcard always makes me think of Sarah Blasko's Overture and the Underscore. Maybe that's Freudian, maybe it's the rogue soviet psychics and their mind control microwaves. The soundcard, however, is one of my favourite purchases this last financial year ... http://corsairsanchorage.com/corsair/2008/08/14/prelude-to-an-opinion/ photo credit: SARhounds Before anyone attempts to correct my spelling regarding a Bravia watching Monochromatic bamboo eater, it's a pun using homophones. I'm quite proud of this one, bear with me (Get it? Bear? Bah! amateurs). Having seen Hancock last night, and The Dark Knight a couple of days prior, ... http://corsairsanchorage.com/corsair/2008/07/25/panders-and-the-lcd/ photo credit: Lawrence OP For those who missed my earlier explosion of rage, I will quickly sum up the state of play as it stands before moving on.

Already, this sounds like Pastor Martin Niemöller's too often quoted poem. However, now they ... http://corsairsanchorage.com/corsair/2008/07/10/dildogagging-fuckholes/ photo credit: divemasterking2000 If I were to say that I am sitting in a wooden chair, watching the clouds drizzle down on my oily, sweating skin, and not noticing because its so humid that the rain feels dryer than the air...

If that was not the most harrowing experience... do not put yourself in a position where you have to export a Wordpress install between domains.
