About Me
- Name: Jennifer Abel
Jennifer Abel is an American writer who began her career in print media three minutes before the Internet killed the industry. After starting at a small Connecticut daily she moved to the Hartford Advocate, an alt-weekly where her journalistic coups included infiltrating a Furries convention and working on a phone sex line (which fired her six hours later). Since then she’s written for, or been reprinted in, dozens of print and web outlets, including Playboy, the Guardian, Salon, AlterNet, Mashable, the Daily Dot and pretty much every website with the words "cannabis" or "legalize it" in the title. Once, when she was young and naïve and needed the money, she unwittingly edited SEO copy for a spammer. However, in light of the spambot comments she’s deleted from her own blogs since then, she figures she’s more than repaid that particular karmic debt. Jennifer is currently looking for professional, non-spam writing jobs; interested editors are enthusiastically invited to e-mail her.

Who the hell gives ba rum pum pum pum
A drumkit to a kid?
My mom got my kid brother a drum set when he was around 11 or 12 years old. He and a few neighborhood kids with their guitars used to jam out on the driveway. I'm sure the old couple next door enjoyed it - leastways, they said they thought it was pretty neat. Fortunately I was away in the Navy at the time.
Merry Christmas. :-)
There's always the old joke about giving the kid a knife and asking him if he knows what is inside of his drum!
