Hey guys, Donald here.
In a few weeks, this site will be 9 years old. 9 years! And I still know some of the earliest submissions by heart.
But, boy. That’s like 102 in web-years. So it’s time for something new. I’m building that something now with my nights-and-weekend minutes (and plenty of coffee). Buy me a cup?

Random Poem:
| What Whisky said to the Lioness |
philoanon

"Lovers’ tears fall a thousand miles, to rest at last in a lonely sea | 1 |
a sea of heartbreak and of lost love | 2 |
Once I was told that they who swim in that sea | 3 |
would unite with all the broken lovers, from the past and present – | 4 |
that they, only they, would experience the untold truth and harmony of love | 5 |
and as a price would swim in that sea forever, understanding love completely | 6 |
but never finding the shore. | 7 |
| |
At the end of days, these swimmers are said to become teachers of the new world’s children, | 8 |
known to them only as the stars | 9 |
that shine out majestic upon purple skies | 10 |
under which some lovers dance, | 11 |
while other lovers cry." | 12 |
