You will rue this day as you drool and mumble incoherently about "prefessional site design" in the corner of your padded cell.
LOL Craig!
Yeah, the design of this site is just terrible, isn't it? I think I'll ban anybody's IP from this blog that comes to my blog and disagrees with me about it in the comments section.
I'll also remove all the posts and act like it never happened and threaten lawsuits for others who comment on their blogs about it.
The web can be a wild place :)

Eric what's with the site colors. They seem all crazy and I don't get it. I mean why Red and Green? What could possibly be the purpose of changing the colors to Red and Green? I think I am going to go do a post on my site about how ugly it is. Please don't attack me for my ignorance though. It isn't my fault.
