Kraig Heins the Movie critic

Um, Kraig (with a K) Heins the movie critic here. Now, as all of you are probably very aware of, I had never seen The Wizard Of Oz prior to three hours ago.

Hi there, Tyler Watson here. It turns out that Kraig Heins has been typing his blogs in Sue’s attic without Sue’s permission, and in a very violent scuffle, Kraig was forced to leave.
