New Contributors

Here at Cutting to the Chase, we continue to grow in leaps and bounds. As in, we're getting more contributors so I can tend to my pet iguana and stag-film collection.

Daniel Gale-Grogen is an associate professor of Belarusian literature at DeMarge College, where he also captained the rugby team. He and his wife Gail live in the hardscrabble environs of Edmond, Oklahoma, where they are the scourge of their gated community -- thanks to son Greg's recent formulation of homemade napalm and his discovery that a bicycle pump can be easily retrofitted into a rudimentary flamethrower. Please make Daniel feel at home.

Similarly, it is CTTC's pleasure to welcome Jill Vatican as another new contributor. Jill's turn-ons include walks in the rain, baking brownies, black-and-white movies, tomato paste and romantic candlelit dinners with her hubby and the local high school swim team. More importantly, Jill is a woman, which means she's the token female voice here.
