2009: A New Year, a New Sletter
Sean Taylor's Newsletter
January 2009Vol. 12
When in Tampa, do as the Tampons- Ybor City is the part of Tampa built on cigars (not literally). Although I attended junior high and high school in the area, I left before I was old enough to take advantage. This holiday season I was back but have too many New Year's Resolutions to take up another vice. I did enjoy the Ybor brew though.
In case you 'minze'd it! - Thanks for making 2008's Tree Trimming, the best yet! Ornaments were decorated, Rumple Minze was consumed, and my naked tree was clothed with some of the most creative decorations ever to be placed on a holiday tree. (click here for pix).

Everyone's Talkin' about Rick Roll'n but No One's Doing Anything About It!
Since April Fool's Day 2008, an online prank called "Rick Roll'n" has left many unsuspecting point-and-clickers on the receiving end of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" music video. I have been duped nearly a dozen times by now and have tried to return fire by creating my Rick Roll using footage from the past two years of Pizza eating to splice together the Rick Astley song with my pizza reviews. I call it a Pizza Roll and it's located right here.
