33rd Annual Planned Parenthood Los Angeles Food Fare 2012 happening this Thursday

Living in East Los Angeles for the later half of my life, I’ve seen a lot of my friends unexpectedly become baby daddies.

Extra, extra! The Glutster gets his first food-caused allergic reaction! Is this the end?!

Is this the end the Glutster as we know it?! Hell no! But, let me tell you that it did, indeed, suck–very much so. I actually had to go the E.R. (AGAIN) and wolf down fourteen chalky Prednosine (aka STEROIDS) tablets to control my unbearably itchy, spazzed out skin. And even after that, it took…
