The Admiral Fell Inn
My Fellow Comedists,
Taking advantage of one of the days when my semester is over but the short people are still in school, TheWife and I went down to Fells Point. At its heart is an establishment named after the namesake of the neighborhood, a business with one of the best names ever -- the Admiral Fell Inn. Seems like a good excuse for a comedist post.

Live, laugh, and love,
Irreverend Steve

Oxymorons
My Fellow Comedists,

My Fellow Comedists, So TheWife has been beginning to think about dogs. Mixed breeds are much healthier than pure breeds and in terms of intelligence and shedding, poodles are a great dog to work into a mix. As a result, we now have lots of poodle mixes...
