Just In Case I Mention the URL on “Seven Second Delay” and Then a Few People Actually Come Here

By Jack Silbert on January 25, 2012

Thank you and welcome! That was a fun show, huh? I especially liked the part when that guy said that funny thing about that thing that happened. It is really nice of you to visit. Please, make yourself at home and stay a while. If the technology allowed it, I would offer you a refreshing [...]
