A tale as old as time…

These artists aren't staying quiet anymore about their commission nightmares. While freelancing online, you may have to jump through a lot of hoops before you can find a good client.

It's the purrfect midweek treat

Rules are rules, and at hotels, they exist for a reason. One guest checked into a hotel in the middle of a forest, and a while later, came up to the front desk clerk to enquire about campfires. This guest thought it would be a brilliant idea to light a campfire right outside his cabin so that he could enjoy it from his porch. Dude… do you know anything about fire safety? The front desk clerk stared at him and informed him that 20 yards away, were a bunch of leaves, dry as the desert. He couldn'…
