... If you have any interest in spies at all, read this, preferably as soon as humanly possible. Now, I love pretty much everything hackthis writes, but I want to make special mention of her Olympics RPS series. If you've ever admired the hotness of swimmers, particularly the 2008 Olympics US men's team, definitely give these a shot. Start with The Golden Rule , move on to its sequels, The...

Those in the olympics standing on the podium, with their golds, Phelps and his millions of medals (good job man). I promise you, 5, 10 years from now he won't be thinking back about standing on the podium.  That's...

Some idiot was sick near us at the gig and it stunk really bad, then someone accidentally stood in it and then it was covered with newwspaper. Where did they...
