No Mas

It was fun while it lasted. I don't have time anymore. There are hundreds of sites that do it better at this point. I never got anything out of it (i.e. money), other than entertaining you or being berated by you when I didn't.

The personal stuff, which made Preash original, casually migrated to my Twitter. Which, btw, is where I still post funny stuff I found around the internets, so go there if you're yearning.

Below you'll see my original post declaring Preash's death several weeks ago, but I got scared and took it down almost immediately.  You will notice I used comedy to mask the pain, which is brand new to me.  Now I'm ready to come to terms.

Perhaps a ways down the road I'll get inspired and pick it back up in some form.  I still own the domain for another couple of years.  Maybe if I have a fascinating, original thought that I can't trim down to 140 characters, I'll post it here and link it on Twitter.  But all good things must come to an end.  And this probably should too.

Preash.

Preash is Dead (when you play it backwards)



This is the first new Preash post in two weeks. Don't act like you haven't noticed.

When I started Preash in October 2007, I never thought a dumb blog could affect so many ...

I'll finish writing this tomorrow. Right now I just need a tall, frosty Keystone Light.



Seriously though, you can't always be smooth, but your beer should be. Brewed for a smooth taste that's never bitter, Keystone Light is smooth. Even when you're not.


BITTER BEER FACE!?

Video: Britney Spears Sticks Her Tongue Out When She Sings

It seems that, for years, Britney has been sticking her tongue out much farther than necessary when singing "L" and "Th" words. I guess no one ever noticed because it's kinda hot in moderation. This megamix, however, strips the technique of its allure.
