Shocking twist, rambling lunatic is ignored by the sane

Posted on April 21, 2017 by SynCaine

Like most his (sane) readers, I find Gevlon’s blog a great source of comedy. His tinfoil-based discussions, his refusal to accept reality, and the insane ways he twists himself around to get to his viewpoint are all more often than … Continue reading →

Posted on August 31, 2016 by SynCaine
