This is probably the only way the 90’s sucked. Yes, that is my growing-up-in-the-90’s bias coming through. No, I will not dial it back. The 90’s were awesome. Exhibit A.

RONDO IS A BEAST.
Because horror on Earth is real and it is every day. It is like a flower or like the sun; it cannot be contained.
