I wrote about people who write blurbs. Huh. Blurb. That’s a funny word. Blurb. Why do we call a little quote of praise a blurb anyway? Well, I wrote the answer to that, too. Blurb. ironicsans.ghost.io/the-king-of-...

Am I the only one who has no recollection of there being a PS2 or PS4? If you told me they only made odd numbered PlayStations, I’m not sure I could refute you.
