Writing reviews of movies, books and music you couldn't stand on a deadline was like writing bad code for a computer OS you had no faith in.

Coffee break. No latte.

Life without parole. Life without a thesaurus. Life without wit,
standards, fear of a small platoon of schoolmarms breaking down the doors to lambast the offending punster with stiff noodles until he promised to never pun again...
