First things first: what’s the deal with our name? Well, like most dumb names, it started as an inside joke. I thought of the little caped “t” and the rest is history.

In addition to the not-exactly-regular posts you see on the home page, the archives include lots of hokey old content I’ve copied into WordPress to take advantage of the search & archive features. The posterior section ought to take care of old content that doesn’t fit into the “blog” format, and which may be worth a laugh provided your standards are low enough.

What’s the site’s purpose, you ask? Sometimes we want to share a thought, a movie recommendation, or a little world-renowned Buckeye State insight. Other posts serve no measurable purpose aside from killing time (we’ll leave you to determine which ones). Despite the occasional appearance otherwise, we’ve never been paid for content or written with the expectation of compensation.

Aside from that… I wrote a book, because I am just that boring, and you’ll notice a few panels of a comic drafted “when time allows.” These are things for which there are links in the top navigation, which you may have picked up on.

Suggestions? Comments? Feel free to drop a line in the comments section of any post!
