(The following was submitted to the Heckler office covered in slobber and paw prints) Hi there, it’s me, JJ. Remember me, your former-future mascot? Well, I know that many of you are as unhappy about leaving as I am, so I wanted to let you know what really happened that fateful day last fall. Some […]
