Not to alarm you or nothing, but if you’ve been really into Thumbs Up! or meant to get into it but have had other things to do on Wednesdays, now’s the time to check it out. We don’t want to say things are coming to a head or any such a thing, but just to let you know, our guys David and Harry have hit the panhandle and are now entering the final leg of their fabled trek across the states. So yeah, just a heads up.

moment of tender introspection we actually witness him call into
question the real-world plausibility of one of his signature
pseudo-obscene frat gestures. Be sure to watch for that.
