CSI: Hard Evidence Published Date: Jan 29, 2008I asked the powers that be at Hellbored if I could have a look at this, because I like the TV show.

But do you know what would make it even nicer? I mean, other than a pole dancers stage and possibly a bumper car track? Yep, you guessed it, a bunch of dead animal heads mounted on my wall and m...

Cabela's Alaskan Adventure Published Date: Jul 23, 2007I am an Ozzie. I have never seen snow, never felt snow, nor been colder than that chill you get when you down your first cold one on a warm summers day! Needless to say, I have no doubt that snow and I would mix like George Bush and Kim Jong Il! However, having said that, the cold and icy regions o...
