Well damn, I've not thought about Maddox in a good while

It was shocking to me that someone who was so good... so fantastic at projecting a certain image in print was such a colossal failure at doing the same thing in real life. You shoulda stayed behind the web browser, my man.

Amen. I was only able to stomach a couple of minutes of his YT channel. His blog was fantastic though. Granted, I was reading those articles at the peak of my teenage years, so they were prime for me. I'm not sure if they'd hold up as well with my adult self, so I think I'll not go verify.

This brings back memories. Hairy memories.

Never could figure out if he was drinking his own kool aid or not.

Good ol Maddox! I probably discovered his site in the very early 2000s when I was really beginning to surf the net. I know I read every piece, his main site hasn't changed a bit.

Rachel's looks like she's about to tell me about Mr. Rockafeller's special Christmas tree.

I wonder how many people will get the reference

That's the last time I visit the Statue of Liberty...

I still can't believe that the Clinton administration thought that it was a good idea to resolve the suez canal crisis that way. And the ADA too... What the fuck? I'm so embarrassed to be an American.
