The Daily
(Holi-Daily Edition)
My last batch of stories for my beloved UW Daily... *sniff*.
If I'm going to go go gentle into that good night, however, I like to think that I leave behind a legacy.

The fact that it's porn stars, Wheel of Fortune, and other, equally shameless ventures is just fine with me.

(P.S: The original version included lines like "Keep your parents from thinking your girlfriend is a ho-ho-ho". Apparently such seasonal humor is offensive. Who knew?)
