Harry’s Growl plans to feature a regular post called ‘ODDBALL News Wrap‘. The intent is to present abstract stories to provide a lighter perspective to the alternatives offered at this site. The ‘format’ is still being tinkered with but will get there in a visual context. If news is not your cup of tea and you want straight humour – try the EYE-BALL’s JokeZone Index page.
